DESCRIPTION:The successful launch and deployment of the James Webb Space T
 elescope has opened a new era in astronomy and astrophysics. Indeed\, Webb
 ’s sensitivity in the infrared is up to three orders of magnitude higher
  than previous facilities. Such a huge leap in sensitivity has happened ve
 ry rarely in the history of astronomy and\, even more broadly\, in the his
 tory of science. To put it into a context\, it is equivalent\, in the visi
 ble\, to suddenly upgrading Galileo’s telescope to modern large telescop
 es. The first two years of observations obtained by this fantastic observa
 tory have not disappointed\, by delivering several impressive\, unexpected
  results. I will give an overview of the exciting Webb’s findings\, alre
 ady in its early phases\, from the characterisation of the planets' atmosp
 heres in other solar systems\, to the discovery of the first galaxies and 
 black holes in the primeval Universe.
