Even launched then. it was launched in 1990. gareth and a number of other astronomers around the world should have had this blank piece of paper in front of them. they sketched it out. this soup is telescope with a much bigger primary reflecting surface. the mirror is 2.4 metres across. this thing is 6.5 metres across. it is 21 feet. and the performance of the telescope with the size of its mirror. this thing will have the resolutions really picked out the small details in the cosmos. it is goin...

New regime of astrophysics! a new frontier! and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5m—wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means it can detect the incredibly faint light coming from the most distant stars. it also has a huge sunshield — about the size of a tennis court. its made up of five layers, each as thin as a human hair. and this p...

Going to work and i think its going to, again, you know, just completely revolutionise how we understand the cosmos. the telescope is a successor to hubble, which has given us amazing images, butjames webb is much more powerful. its mirror is almost three times bigger, which means it can reveal parts of the cosmos weve never seen before. gazing up into the heavens can help us to answer some of the biggest questions, like where we come from and how did we get here? this space telescope will help ...

Properly once it is in position. it contains 18 hexagonal mirrors that will help astronomers see back more than 13 billion years. those gold plated mirrors are mainly made of beryllium. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle reports. stunning images revealing the beauty of our universe, but weve only seen a tiny fraction of it. now, a new astronomy mission is set to revolutionise our view. this is the james webb space telescope. its a successor to hubble, but 100 times more powerful. after three de...

How it came about. 0ur science editor rebecca morelle reports. its taken 30 years to develop, cost more than $10 billion and has involved thousands of scientists. now the james webb space telescope is finally ready to launch to begin the most ambitious astronomy mission ever attempted. this telescope is absolutely the biggest and most complex and most powerful telescope that weve ever attempted to send to space. all of us astronomers are extremely eager to get this telescope into space. but i th...

So, this telescope looks at the cosmos in the infrared. we need to look at infrared because the light coming from the most distant stars in the universe comes to us at infrared wavelengths and the thing infrared wavelengths and the thing infrared is that it is heat energy and when you have a telescope big with a mirror that is six and a half metres across and super sensitive instruments, then you can spot very small amounts of heat energy in a very long way away and so if you are to have a bumbl...

But 100 times more powerful. after three decades in the making, and a cost of $10 billion, its finally on its way. weve never attempted anything like that in space before. were going to be entering a whole new regime of astrophysics. a new frontier. and that is what gets so many of us excited about james webb space telescope. this space telescope is a feat of engineering. at its heart is a 6.5 metre—wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments, each coated in a layer of gold. its size means i...

We are going to look back through essentially all of time to when the very first stars granny galaxies formed, and how they grew into the magnificent galaxies like our milky way and draw mother today. we are also going to be exploring planets around nearby stars to try to understand their origins. and whether they have a life. and so this is an amazing telescope. and as you say, hubble on steroids, it definitely is. i you say, hubble on steroids, it definitely is.— you say, hubble on steroids,...
