Most people are familiar with the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been producing incredible renderings of the far reaches of space since 1990. Now, NASA is sending a new telescope to space, dubbed the James Webb Space Telescope, and it?s a staggering 100 times more powerful than the Hubble. If there?s such a thing as ?hype? in the space telescope game, the James Webb has reached a ?Green Nautilus? level of interest, having originally been scheduled to launch in 2010, and seeing its price tag steadily increase year after year. Now set for deployment in December, the end result is a telescope the size of a tennis court that should be able to see the first stars and galaxies that formed after the big bang, potentially shedding light on the origins of the universe itself.
