Can't wait to see some of the images its going to capture. It's able to capture specific parts of the infrared spectrum that are less absorbed by dust and other particles, allowing scientists to look through dense clouds and atmospheres. Some of the target images it will collect is definitely going to open new doors to our understanding of the universe.
More crazily, it might help us understand how the universe came into being, as it may be able to capture information of when the first galaxies were formed (the "Epoch of Reionization").
2022 is going to be be a big year for astronomy, science, and things up in the sky.
