The James Webb Space Telescope arrived at its observation post 1 million miles from Earth on Monday on a mission to help astronomers "better understand the early days of the universe, peer at distant exoplanets and atmosphere and to answer long-scale questions such as how quickly the universe is expanding," according to Space.com.

The biggest, most powerful space telescope launched on Christmas Day from French Guinea is scanning atmospheres of alien worlds for possible signs of other life forms in the cosmos.
