The most advanced and most expensive telescope ever built, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was launched on Christmas Day 2021.

Three years on from the launch, we're joined by Royal Observatory astronomer Catherine Muller to discuss what we've learned from the telescope.

What can we see in the images it has captured and how will this help us with an even greater understanding of the Universe and our place within it?
