Summary:
- NASA is preparing to launch two missions - the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - to study the cosmic origins and the Sun.
- IXPE will observe X-ray polarization from various cosmic sources, including black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants, to gain insights into the physics of these extreme environments.
- JWST, the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built, will study the earliest galaxies in the universe and provide new perspectives on the formation and evolution of stars and planets.
