Metal Earth: James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope, launched December 25, 2021, is the largest and most powerful telescope ever deployed. This $10 billion telescope was designed to collect light in the near-infrared spectrum which is the optimum wavelength to allow for the detection of very distant objects. In fact, the telescope allows astronomers to peer back in time to within 180 million years after the Big Bang which is even before the first galaxies formed!

Pop the parts out of the steel sheet and join them by bending the small tabs through their slots. No glue or solder needed; tweezers or needle-nose pliers make it easier.
