NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has released its first images, ushering in a new era of astronomy.
The most powerful and complex telescope ever made, the telescope will allow physicists and astronomers to peer further into the universe's past than ever before.
It's hoped it will help unravel some of the largest mysteries of the cosmos; from how the first stars and galaxies formed and how fast the universe is expanding, to the prospects for extraterrestrial life.
Kathryn speaks with Richard Easther, a Professor of Physics at the University of Auckland.
