ONE
OF THE PROPOSED DESIGNS FOR JWST
With
ten times the light-gathering power of Hubble, JWST will peer
deeper into the universe than ever before — back to the era
when galaxies first formed.

Hubble's important
mission will come to an end one day in the future. But the telescope's
ultimate retirement will not signal the end of our unrivaled view
of the universe. Rather, it will mark a new beginning— and even
more amazing discoveries and images from space. For Hubble has a
successor.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is being designed right
now, may be launched as early as 2011. When that day comes, scientists
using JWST hope to discover and understand even more about our fascinating
universe. |
