Ariane 5 Rollout with James Webb Space Telescope

Workers sweep the tracks in advance of the rollout to the launch pad of Arianespace's Ariane 5 rocket with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope onboard, Thursday, Dec. 23, 2021, at Europe’s Spaceport, the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana. The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is a large infrared telescope with a 21.3 foot (6.5 meter) primary mirror. The observatory will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
