    <title>James Webb Space Telescope: Latest News, Stories and Details - RSS</title>
    <description>Launched on December 25, 2021, NASA&#39;s James Webb Space Telescope is the most powerful and complex space telescope. Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, it does not orbit around Earth. Rather, it orbits the Sun at a distance of 1 million miles from Earth, which is called the second Lagrange point. It is responsible for studying every phase of our universe&#39;s history.</description>
