The James Webb Space Telescope has sparked a new era in astronomy
Close your eyes and imagine “space,” and there’s a good chance your mind will pull up a picture taken by Hubble. The space telescope became a household name in the 1990s as the images it captured appeared on TV and in magazines, newspapers and movies. Over the decades it created a shared visual lexicon of outer space and seeded multiple generations’ imaginations with visions of glowing nebulae, haunting planets and faraway galaxies. More than 30 years after launch, Hubble is still going strong.
The triumph is especially sweet given what it took for JWST to get here. Scientists started planning it more than three decades ago, and the effort to build the observatory fell so far behind schedule and so far over budget that many feared it would never be launched at all. When the telescope finally lifted off on December 25, 2021, with an ultimate price tag of nearly $10 billion, astronomers felt a rush of relief.
