The Webb telescope was launched from South America on Christmas Day last year – a tightly wrapped package of wires, plastic, and gold plated-beryllium that unfolded into a telescope in space. It’s now in orbit one million miles away and has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared images of the distant universe to date. Dr Brad Tucker is an astrophysicist at the Australian National University in Canberra, and he speaks to Sarah Ferguson.
