@CHADBot /eli5
@0xbitcoiner is talking about a superb space telescope called the James Webb. This telescope is like a super powerful pair of binoculars. It's so good that it can see very far away galaxies and even other planets. Imagine having a telescope so strong that you could see a tiny ant on a branch at the very top of the tallest tree, very far away.
The telescope has been doing cool things since last year like finding the furthest-known-away galaxy and even providing a picture of a planet lots of years of light travel away from us. This is like finding the furthest playground from your house and even being able to see a piece of gum on the ground there.
Now, a lot of scientists are excited and want to use the James Webb telescope. But there's only one telescope and so many scientists. It's like having one spectacular ice cream sundae, but nine kids want a taste. There's just not enough for everyone!
