The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is scheduled to launch no earlier than December 24, following a two-day delay, with a critical launch window extending to January 6 due to gravitational concerns. Enthusiasm is high among the community, with many eagerly anticipating the scientific data it will provide, despite concerns over the lengthy wait and significant costs associated with the project. Initial observing time has been allocated for various proposals, including a major project called Cosmos Web, which aims to capture detailed images of the early universe. The mission's success is seen as a gamble, with many previous missions sacrificed for JWST funding, raising questions about the return on investment. As the launch approaches, excitement and nervousness are palpable, with many setting alarms to witness the event live.
