Planetary Formation and the James Webb Space Telescope

Stars and planets form in the dark, inside vast, cold clouds of gas and dust. The James Webb Space Telescope's large mirror and infrared sensitivity will let astronomers peer inside dusty knots where the youngest stars and planets are forming.

These videos were developed to highlight the science that will be peformed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
