And they did not disappoint. We were spellbound and amazed by the detail, depth and structure JWST captured. See for yourself in our special <strong><a href=\"navto:\/\/index\/5\">Eye on the Sky gallery<\/a><\/strong>, which we\u2019ve dedicated entirely to the infrared telescope\u2019s first images. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">And then came the science. We sat wide-eyed as Webb\u2019s ability to break down light into its component parts through spectroscopy was revealed, dazzled that we were being shown individual elements in dust clouds circling the event horizon of a supermassive black hole 310 million lightyears away. Yet this is just one part of JWST\u2019s science programme; turn to <a href=\"navto:\/\/index\/25\"><strong>Colin Stuart\u2019s feature<\/strong> <\/a><strong>to discover the other areas the telescope will impact.<\/strong> Also in this special issue, we hear from <a href=\"navto:\/\/index\/7\"><strong>astrophysicist Mikako Matsuura<\/strong><\/a> <strong>about working with JWST<\/strong>, and <em>The Sky at Night <\/em>presenter <a href=\"navto:\/\/index\/14\"><strong>Chris Lintott <\/strong><\/a><strong>gives his thoughts on Webb\u2019s first images<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Back on Earth, it\u2019s an exciting time to be observing the night sky. <span>Jupiter is at opposition and at its brightest, a great time to follow <strong><a href=\"navto:\/\/index\/11\">Pete Lawrence\u2019s guide to making an animation of it<\/a><\/strong>.
