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

Here is a report on Webb's study of Uranus ...

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!
