How you began: a 13 billion year journey unveiled by the James Webb Space Telescope

You are over 13 billion years old. Made of atoms minted in the early Universe, transformed through the interiors of stars, supernova explosions and planetary discs. You are stardust. The James Webb Space Telescope is our time machine, and our window into the early universe. Simon Driver explores how with it we will journey across all time, following a pathway that take us from you through planets, supernova, stars and galaxies to your very origins and where you began.
