Each of

four instruments are able to answer specific science questions. Three instruments have cameras, but all four can perform spectroscopy, which is used to study the details of what wavelengths of light objects emit or absorb:

Yesterday was paper day! With deep JWST data from the ALT survey we provide new independent evidence that the new population of faint AGNs in the early Universe seems to have so-called overly massive black holes compared to their stellar mass

Incredible! 44 individual *stars* observed in a galaxy 6.5 BILLION light years away! Light we're seeing from these stars was emitted before the Earth formed 🤯 This is only possible because of the fun physics of gravitational lensing! Read more:

I wonder how much clickbait stories about a handful of people doing these terrible things actually amplify and publicize this in ways that are counter productive.
