New NASA space telescope will study Big Bang, origin of the universe Doyle Rice, USA TODAY UP NEXT NASA wants to peer back in time to the beginning of the universe. And with a new space telescope, scientists at the agency should be able to do just that. The new telescope, scheduled for launch in either 2024 or 2025, "will map the entire sky to study the rapid expansion of the universe after the Big Bang, the composition of young planetary systems, and the history of galaxies," ...
