The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope, scheduled for launch in 2013. JWST will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System. JWST's instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range.

JWST will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. Both the mirror and sunshade won't fit onto the rocket fully open, so both will fold up and open only once JWST is in outer space. JWST will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth.

  • @EpiDemic117 Hes not mad, hes just not delusional like you. There are 30,000 different gods and they are all clearly false. All the gods from religions are myths. With common sense and a brain you can clearly see how the bible is wrong and that there has been no evidence to support any of their claims. God was made up by man because we cant explain the universe, just like Zeus which is also a god, was made up cause nobody knew how lightning was formed.

  • lets just thank our ancestors for dreaming hard enough to come up with all our gods.... put your bibles away and go with logic. Lets get the JWST going asap.

  • @aNdYmAtTeR U mad bro? :D

  • @EpiDemic117

    And in his infinite mysterious wisdom he chose to keep it away from humans for how many years before he all of a sudden let the silly humans think they invented it themselves?

    Is the universe just some kind of Matrix in gods mind, and he's playing mind games with himself all day long?

    You have some source reference that explains why this god is right and the other gods are wrong, besides a few hundred pages in the bible.

  • @aNdYmAtTeR Just cus god invented everything! even the shit man uses now. Twas all invented by god.

  • @EpiDemic117
