Jonathan Gardener is deputy senior project scientist at NASA for Webb.

He said “”Webb can see backwards in time just after the big bang by looking for galaxies that are so far away, the light has taken many billions of years to get from those galaxies to ourselves,”

He claimed that “Webb is bigger than Hubble so that it can see fainter galaxies that are further away,”
