The proposals for the fifth cycle of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s science operations span everything from exoplanets and the solar system to the farthest galaxies and the dawn of the universe, showing just how widely Webb inspires the scientific community. Distant galaxies, stars and stellar populations, and exoplanet atmospheres are among the top science categories among proposals.
