TL;DR

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is now fully operational and has already revealed galaxies beyond the limits of the Hubble Space Telescope. With its longer-wavelength capabilities and ability to observe in the infrared portion of the spectrum, the JWST can see much farther into the Universe's past. The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) is using the JWST to observe a specific region of the sky for an extended period, providing the deepest view of the Universe to date. JADES has already discovered galaxies more distant than the previous record-holder identified by Hubble. The collaboration is guaranteed over 770 hours of observing time, which will reveal even more remarkable highlights and provide a better understanding of the early Universe.
