Webb's Cosmos

The definitive and most up-to-date book on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Covering the James Webb Space Telescope's breathtaking discoveries from its historic launch in 2021 all the way through 2025, Webb's Cosmos brings together beauty, wonder, and profound understanding in one spectacular volume. While earlier books were limited to Webb's very first releases, this comprehensive guide features a vast array of the newest, most dazzling images available.

Author Marcin Sawicki is not just an experienced science educator—he is a professional astronomer who actively uses Webb data in his own research. In this beautifully crafted book, he offers a uniquely informed perspective on what Webb's stunning images actually mean. His lucid, engaging text takes us behind the splendor to explain how these images reveal the birth of stars, the growth of galaxies, and humanity's ongoing search for worlds beyond our Solar System.

Inside Webb's Cosmos, you'll discover:

• Richly illustrated chapters exploring star-forming regions, distant exoplanets, and the farthest reaches of the early universe.
• Insight into how NASA decides what the Webb telescope observes.
• Fascinating details on how Webb's digital observations are processed to create the colorful, awe-inspiring images we see.
• A true sense of the immense, mind-bending scales and distances that JWST reveals.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

As an astrophotographer, I am completely in awe of the James Webb Space Telescope. The data it sends back is rewriting our understanding of the cosmos on an almost daily basis. What I love most about this book is that it goes beyond just being a pretty photo album—it actually explains the 'how' and 'why' behind the image processing, which is something near and dear to my heart when I'm editing my own backyard captures. If you want to understand the absolute cutting edge of modern astronomy, this is the book to get!
