Webb Science Writer's Guide

A reference guide for all things Webb

The James Webb Space Telescope is the most ambitious, complex, and pioneering mission embarked upon by NASA, its international partners, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Webb’s penetrating infrared vision will reveal the otherwise invisible, cold, dark universe. As the world’s premier infrared space observatory, Webb is designed to make discoveries that will transform our understanding of the cosmos and our place in it.

The Webb Science Writers’ Guide is designed to assist media personnel, writers, and educators, in their efforts to understand the telescope, and in turn, educate others about the mission. It is a one-stop shop for information about the telescope and the science it will perform, including a list of available experts, to help assist those looking to spread the word of Webb.
