Everything we see is back in time.

Devs on Hulu.

Have it see if it can tell where I left my cell phone yesterday.

The European Space Agency is launching this.

So much for our worthless NASA.

[GingisK]

Maybe they can identify those responsible for the JFK assassination.

The higher resolution would allow us to observe additional objects and events not just further back in time but even very recent smaller objects or events that were previously undetectable.

Interesting the science of putting a distance on objects and events.

Can’t wait for the pics.

Last night I read an article about some folks who were all upset about the telescope, because the NASA director it is named after was allegedly a homophobe. Myself, I’m just glad it isn’t named after the other James Webb, the former Virginia senator who wrote pornography on the side.

I wonder if it can clearly see Uranus?

We can revisit Britney in 2007.

If they aim it at earth they will know what you did last summer.

“NASA To Launch Telescope Stronger Than Hubble That Can See Back In Time”

cool! i wonder if it can help me find all of those lost socks ...

[ballplayer]

Are they going to point it back towards the earth so we can what it was like in the 50s?

[SuperLuminal]

What a maroon!
All telescopes can, so-defined, see back in time...
JSW will just “see” further back by seeing “further-away” galaxies and/or stars...

[LeoTDB69]

Finally, we will learn the real truth about JFK

[logi_cal869]

I wonder if they used the same mirror contractor...

[sasquatch]

I hope Perkin Elmer did not build this one.
