The telescope primarily detects light in the infrared in order to observe sources such as the first galaxies and protostars.

Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...
