    James Webb Space Telescope

    Hello guys. I was looking at pictures of Curiosity on mars and found out that Nasa was also working on a New telescope. It is called the James Webb Space Telescope. It is in essence like the Hubble Space Telescope however its Primary Mirror is 6.5 m (21.3 ft) vs the Hubbles 94.5 in (2.4 m). I don't know how many of you are interested in this kind of stuff but I am very interested in all aspects of life. I am linking a video with more information on this.
