The text is brief ... there is some animation ... not too deep but possibly interesting ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has set it sights on Trappist 1 system's innermost planet, Trappist 1 b. It has discovered that “the planet’s dayside has a temperature of about 500 kelvins (roughly 230°C), and suggests that it has no significant atmosphere,” according to the ESA/Webb team.

Budget questions can be asked JWST, SLS and MSR however JWST is giving great results
very expensive and delayed but successful, and it had a clear objective and an end goal in sight, it is causing a revolution of sorts in the science and astronomy books with new findings
Some of the best unfiltered breaking news is on jwstfeed, they also link to videos

The report includes mention of the naming of some of the moons after Shakespearean characters including Puck.
That's an interesting way to make a living .... naming astronomical objects.

Despite the delays and the budget over-runs, this thing worked, and without the need for any corrections like Hubble. Otherwise, it's the same story of delays and over-runs as Hubble, but justified in the end by fantastic results. Congrats are certainly due!
