Now that the James Webb Space Telescope has released its first images, it’s time for the science programs to begin.
We meet 5 scientists who will be using the telescope during its first cycle of operations looking at the earliest galaxies, red giant stars in the disc of Andromeda, star forming regions in the MIlky Way and nearby galaxies, the Trappist-1 exoplanet system, and mysterious icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Webb pictures are amazing. But at the end they are just for the consumption of the people, to admire and think about the Universe (and for NASA to get more money of course). What is real important is the possibility for the first time to reach farther and deeper in the part of the Universe we live and try to understand it better. One interest project is looking for earth habitable planets, even if with our existent tech we never be able to reach there, unless a real FTL engine is created. But the proof of the existence of these planets will produce infinite debates about life, about other lives, changing our knowledge and breaking old beliefs. In consequence this telescope is not just another awesome and revolutionary machine out there. It's a part of our technical ethical and philosophical evolution and of our knowledge of life, composition of the universe, etc.
