can telescope see back in time ?

James webb telescope
james webb is space telescope which is go in space after the hubble telescope , it is mcuh better than hubble telescope the cost of james webb telescope is $ 9.8 billion it is a very expensiv project and in james webb telescope misson many agencies were aded lilke nasa , esa and csa.
This telescope can see back in time webb will be able to see what universe looked like around a quarter of a billion years (possible back to 100 million years ) after the big bang , when the first stars and galaxies started to from .
comparison of james webb and hubble telescope ?
Webb will primary look at the universe in the infrared ,while hubble studies it primarily at optical and ultraviolet wavelength .... Hubble is in a very close orbit around the earth , while Webb will be 1.5 million kilometers away at second Lagrange point Webb will observe primarily in the infrared and will have four science instruments to capture image and spectra of astronomical objects . these instruments will provide wavelength coverage from 0.6 to 28 micrometers the infrared part of electromagnetic spectrum goes from about 0.75 microns to a few hundred microns . the instruments in Hubble can observe a small portion of the infrared spectrum from 0.8 to 2.5 microns , but its primary capabilities are in the ultra violet and visible parts of the spectrum from 0.1 to 0.8 microns .
how many light years can the james webb telescope see ?
NASA webb telescope to see 13 billion light years away .
What come after james webb telescope ?
The wide field infrared survey telescope (WFIRST).
Why james webb telescope is so expensive ?
The JWST has a history major cost overruns and delays which have resulted in part from outside factors such as delays in deciding on a launch vehicle and adding extra funding on a launch contingencies . By 2006 , us$1 billion had been spent on developing JWST , with the budget at about us$4.5 billions at that time .
