Major Discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope in 2025

Editor's Take

Compiling the year's Webb telescope results, this three-hour survey works methodically through the 2025 findings on galaxies and exoplanets. It explains each discovery in plain terms, trading momentum for thoroughness. The length makes it less a film to watch straight through than a catalog to consult. For anyone wanting a complete account of a landmark year, the exhaustiveness is the point.

This feature-length compilation gathers the major discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2025, from distant galaxies to detailed studies of exoplanets. Over more than three hours it walks through the findings that are reshaping astronomy, explaining each in clear terms. The scope makes it a thorough catch-up on a landmark year in space science. Absorbing and up to date, it is a rich survey of Webb's work. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
