US-SPACE-WEBB TELESCOPE
This NASA artist's rendition received 30 August, 2007 shows the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror. Launch is planned for 2013. With a combined mirror surface of 269 square feet (25 square meters), the Webb telescope will have nearly six times the light-gathering ability of the Hubble Telescope, which has one giant 46-square-foot (4.3-square-meter) mirror. Astronomers expect such sensitivity to allow them to see the first stars and galaxies of the universe as well as young planetary systems. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA GETTY OUT
