PROJECT TITLE :

Planetary Pursuits [Back Story]

ABSTRACT:

The hubble space telescope's long-awaited successor, NASA???s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is ready to launch in simply 3 years. The six.five-metric-ton scope will be in a position to pick up infrared emissions from a number of the universe???s earliest stars and galaxies. And, perhaps most alluring, it could facilitate us study other worlds in our Milky Approach that may be capable of supporting life, as astronomers Alberto Conti and Mark Clampin justify in this issue.
