Nestled atop an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket, the James Webb Space Telescope rolled out to the launchpad on Dec. 23, 2021, at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Webb will study every phase of the cosmos—from our own solar system to galaxies formed 13.5 billion years ago, just after the Big Bang. A colossal collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, Webb will revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Liftoff is set for Dec. 25 at 7:20 a.m. EST (12:20 UTC)
