The James Webb telescope should be an amazing thing.
If it unfolds properly, and works.
And if they ever launch the thing....

Wait until they launch the James Webb telescope into orbit around 2104.
Fasten your seat belt.
This shows the telescopes near infrared camera being tested.

A comparison of James Webb Telescope to Hubble....Remember, we'll be studying the data from Hubble for many years to come.

This is basically a full scale model of the Jame Webb Telescope.
The multiple panels you see below the yellow primary mirror, will cool or shade the instruments/camera and telescope from heat sources, such as the sun...
