James Webb Telescope Speculated To Be Greater Than Hubble

The James Webb Space Telescope is about to begin full science operations, six months after its launch to orbit.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelsonsaid the new observatory will be even more revolutionary than its predecessor, Hubble, says

The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy.

As the most powerful telescope ever launched into space, its greatly improved infrared resolution and sensitivity will allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.
