Now That James Webb Is Active, What's It Been Up To?

But it's done more than that, and this is a good review of the telescope's first couple weeks of activity. I'm excited for what's to come: James Webb has imaged the TRAPPIST-1 system, well known for hosting multiple potentially habitable planets. The data's still being analyzed, but we'll know soon.
