About

    NIRCam, or the Near Infrared Camera, is one of the main instruments onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). NIRCam is designed to capture images in the near-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, making it ideal for studying the formation of stars and galaxies, as well as the characteristics of exoplanets. It has a wide field of view and high sensitivity, allowing it to capture detailed images of faint objects in the universe. NIRCam plays a crucial role in the scientific goals of the JWST, helping astronomers to better understand the origins and evolution of the cosmos.
