Hubblecast 25: What's Next? Amazing Telescopes Of The Future.

The telescope has been mankind's window on the Universe for four hundred years. It has provided scientists with unprecedented views of planets, stars and galaxies from our cosmic doorstep to the very depths of space and time. But despite their incredible performance, even the newest and most powerful telescopes leave room for improvement. Astronomers always want to venture beyond their current horizons. In this final chapter we take a look at things to come - the revolutionary ground-based telescopes and space observatories of the future. One thing is certain: there is much left to discover.

Thank goodness I was born in this century!

[101u]

why would we be the only one!

[Yeuxvert]

JWST funding reinstated, project not cancelled, as of 2011/11/16.

[derman077]

Holy shit I just imagined a HAARP on the moon.

[jimmayl1]

JWST cancelled :(

[FsimulatorX]

Don't just look for plants with water because different organisms from different worlds may not rely on water to live depending on how there where made.

[VangelisAthens]

But what is better for studying planets outside out solar system ? Space telescopes like James Webb or telescopes placed on Earth's surface ?

[rgrggfdgfgr]

This is amazing.

I'm so glad I live in a world with people who care for science and technology.

(forgetting about all the ignorance and violent people that make up much of the worlds populous) :P

@RTRVII chemistry and physics are the same everywhere. Where theres matter and water, maybe not even water, there's life. There can't not be any no matter how simple.

[theoneandonly690]

blooody hell

[RTRVII]

imagine.... in a few hundred years, humanity is a galactic civilisation, colonising and traveling large portions of space.. desperately looking for other lifeforms, but not finding it... more and more planets appear lifeless... an empty universe becomes more and more certain....

would be terrible now wouldn't it...

[2cool0]

yo are serious that telescope will get actuall piccs of other planets??? thats sicker then the swine flu oooh and light speed :)
