DESCRIPTION:The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope followed by the s
 uccessful deployment of its sun shield and optics has ushered in a new era
  in astronomy.The six-month commissioning period revealed a telescope and 
 set of instruments that outperform the pre-launch predictions. The image q
 uality of the telescope is spectacular which in turn enhances the science 
 return. The sensitivity stemming from the great image quality means that o
 bserving programs will yield better signal to noise\, and deep surveys wil
 l see further back in time. The first programs are yielding new insights i
 nto areas of astronomy ranging from the first galaxies to form after the B
 ig Bang to the composition and climates of planets orbiting other stars.
