The JWST is designed to view objects 100x fainter than Hubble. We'll discuss the telescope's planned mission of observing the oldest and most distant objects, and look at images if available.
Long Description:

We'll discuss the telescope's planned missions including observing the oldest and most distant objects in the universe and of characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets, and look at the first images if available.
