KOUROU, French Guiana - The James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s bigger, more powerful successor, is scheduled for liftoff on Christmas morning from the coast of South America.
It will be the largest and most powerful space science telescope to ever leave the planet, elaborate in its design and ambitious in its scope.
At $10 billion, it’s also the most expensive and the trickiest to pull off.After years of delay, the James Webb Scace Telescope is scheduled to launch at 7:20 a.m.
