Description
Building the James Webb Space Telescope was no easy feat. It started with a big dream and an even bigger team: thousands of engineers and scientists across the country and world. The team solved design challenges, built prototypes, and ran test after test. They experienced frustration, page-turning suspense, and, ultimately, triumph. After decades of work, a rocket catapulted the Webb Telescope into space. With Webb, we can now see farther than we've ever seen before.
The first Webb images, released on July 11, 2022, captivated the world. Today the Webb team continues releasing new images and making astonishing discoveries. This is their story, as told by a mechanical engineer and reviewed for accuracy by key members of the Webb team.

I just finished this magnificent book with tons of information about the James Webb Telescope. This book tells the story of the construction of the telescope. With great pictures and information, I was blown away by this book.
I grew up in the "rocket city" of Huntsville, AL, so I have always been fascinated by space. This book was a treat that nourished my inner child/teen.
Thanks to NetGalley for the advance read.

This is the story of the James Webb Space Telescope and how it was designed, built, deployed, and what it has helped discover. It's written in an engaging style that is informative and keeps you interested. Kiddo (10) listened intently the whole way through.
The text is accompanied by stunning full-color, often full-page images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope with some comparisons to those taken by previous telescopes. These images alone are worth reading for.
If your kiddo (or you) is interested in telescopes and space, this is a great read.
*Thanks to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for providing an early copy for review.
