The world's most powerful telescope launched on December 25 to explore the origins of the universe. The new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was successfully launched on December 25, 2021, from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou. Featuring a primary mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, JWST is the largest space telescope ever built for a scientific mission. One hundred times more sensitive than its predecessor, Hubble, it promises significant breakthroughs in galactic physics and the study of exoplanets.

E3Climate Monitoring Satellites
10 min
The Copernicus program uses its satellite constellation to collect ultra-precise data on climate change. ESA’s Copernicus program represents an investment of roughly 7 billion euros and generates petabits of data to model future climate shifts, primarily through the Sentinel-6 satellite, which has been operational since June 2021. This highly sophisticated spacecraft specifically measures sea-level rise, and its initial findings confirm a deeply concerning trend.
