Essential guide to the James Webb Space Telescope
...extraordinary science, we cannot imagine the universe the James Webb Space Telescope is about to reveal. WST is not ‘Hubble’s Replacement’ but ‘Hubble’s Successor’, designed to build on Hubble’s rich legacy and even to work side-by-side with ...Time Observations, amounting to 3800 hours. Two projects will spend 150 hours using MIRI to explore the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field. Hubble stared at this almost empty patch of sky in the constellation Fornax for...

Woes for Webb as the space telescope is delayed again
The world’s most powerful space telescope and the successor to NASA's famed Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has had its launch date delayed again, this time until approximately May 2020. ... increases. But, do any missions lift off without a hitch? Let's not forget JWST’s predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble, which was the JWST of its time, was also beset by numerous technical delays and budget problems...
