I hear tell  there is a whole new telescope coming on stream on the next couple of days

 

 

What might be the most interesting results we could expect?

 

There is no chance that we might get a better look at our Galaxy's black hole is there?

The James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field view was shared on Monday. The image shows SMACS 0723, where a massive group of galaxy clusters act as a magnifying glass for the objects behind them, including faint, distant galaxies.

Might give us an idea how common planets are in our galaxy, and how many are 'earth-like'.
It has been suggested that 'rocky' planets, if not 'earth-like' planets, outnumber the stars.

If so, we might have an actual number to plug into one term of the Drake Equation, and get a step closer to resolving the Fermi Paradox.
