On April 24, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope rode a space shuttle into low Earth orbit to become the most productive observatory in history.
But Hubble’s time is running out. NASA’s next flagship observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope will gaze out at the universe with exquisitely sensitive infrared eyes designed to study the very first galaxies and stars. Furthermore, the Webb is designed to directly address one of the most broadly appealing and fastest growing research areas in all of astronomy, the search for life on Earth-like exoplanets.
