Objective
Unfolded through 344 single-point failures after launch, every one of which worked, at a distance where no repair is possible. It sees galaxies from 300 million years after the Big Bang.
Open on the Cosmic Exploration shelf — the interactive card, the filters, and everything alongside it.
