OCTOBER 2018, THE LAUNCH OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE-Let's see some comparative facts about the ISS, the Hubble and James Webb!
The James Webb is 1.5 million km out BEYOND the Moon! Now, that's a space telescope. To compare, the Hubble is a mere 570 km from the surface of the Earth.
The ginormous size of the optics and the ability to see in infrared (so as to be able to capture light from the birth of the universe) make the prospect of James Webb's launch extremely exciting!
