The James Webb Space Telescope can see deeper into the Universe than its predecessor Hubble, opening up a new era of cosmology. Scientists at NASA, ESA and CSA have shared the first batch of full-color images produced by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – and they were worth the wait.

Captain Matthew Webb was the uncle to Henry Webb, who married the author Mary Webb, nee Mary Gladys Meredith. Henry also had a sister, Mary, whose married A.N.S. Shelley, Esq. and so was known in her adult life as Mary Shelley. AND HE WAS MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDAD NO LIE IM AM NOT A LIAR :D X
He is about the same height as Josh. Josh is 6'2, so he is around 6 feet.
James Earl Jones is an only child, so he has no siblings.
yes. They look alike so probably brothers or cousins...

The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in 2018. The Webb telecope is not a direct replacement for the Hubble. The Hubble has been so reliable since its launch in April, 1990, that it's expected to function through 2014, and possibly as long as 2020.
The James Webb Space Telescope is important because it will enable astronomers to study the universe in greater detail than ever before, including studying the first galaxies that formed after the Big Bang, observing distant exoplanets, and exploring the origins of stars and planetary systems. Its advanced technology and capabilities will revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.
The controversy surrounding the James Webb Space Telescope's name stems from concerns about its namesake, James Webb, who was NASA's second administrator and had a controversial role in the agency during the 1960s, including his opposition to civil rights initiatives. Some critics argue that naming a telescope after him is inappropriate given his history.
Ah, the James Webb Telescope! A wonder of modern technology. No, you can't see it from Earth with your naked eye, but it is there, floating in space, helping us explore the universe one brushstroke at a time. Nature has its way of hiding some treasures for us to discover in due time.
-Because it was the fist telescope that can see outside our solar system.
No Earth-like planets have been discovered yet, but our best telescopes are (so far!) incapable of locating any extra-solar planets that small. With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, this may change.
It is going to replace the Hubble Space Telescope in the year 2018. It will study the edges of the universe, where the light from the creation of the Universe is still in transit to the Earth. So what JWST will do is to look at the past, billions of years ago, when the Universe was only a few hundred million years old. This would help us understand more about the evolution of the Universe.
It is speacial because It can observe the heavans much better than ground telescopes. It is also the largest and most versatile space telescope
Money, it all comes down to money. The Hubble telescope is a multimillion dollar thing, i think its total cost is in the billions. So imagine what a better one would cost! Plus, the Hubble telescope has been able to do everything we needed it to. So until it can't keep up, i think we will keep good old Mr Hubble.
The last service should allow the Hubble to function until 2014, when its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched.However, current space operations have far outlived some of their expectations, so the Hubble could stay in service a lot longer.
A special type of telescope called a coronagraph is used to study the sun's corona. Coronagraphs work by blocking out the bright disk of the sun so that the fainter outer atmosphere can be observed. This allows scientists to study the corona's structure, dynamics, and phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Among the popular, consumer-oriented cameras, Pentax 645 has a 43.8mm x 32.8mm sensor. That's 54.72mm diagonally. This is larger than the so-called 'full frame' sensors. Specialized cameras may have larger sensors. The 'detector' in the 'Fine Guidance Sensor' of the James Webb Space Telescope (to be launched 2016-2018) is about the physical size of the Pentax 645 sensor. At the space telescope level, though, there are many other factors that make a camera worth its $8 billion price tag.
