BRENT: With the venerable and venerated Hubble Space Telescope reaching the 25th anniversary of its launch into orbit this year,it’s successor is being prepped for action by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
While it will succeed the Hubble once it’s finished being built in Maryland’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the James Webb Space Telescope is unlikely to eclipse its predecessor in cultural significance. The Webb, which is a joint project between US, European and Canadian space agencies, will of course be more powerful than the Hubble ever dreamed and will be able to see even further into the universe, but nothing can erase the ground-breaking and scientific studies that the Hubble has played a part in across its quarter of a century in service.
