New Space Scope to probe cosmic mysteries:

NEW YORK -- A life-size model of a huge new space observatory billed as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is taking on the Big Apple this week at the World Science Festival.
The gigantic [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]telescope[/color][/color] model – roughly the size of a tennis court – will be on display at [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]New [COLOR=blue !important]York[/color][/color][/color] City's Battery Park from Tuesday through Sunday, June 6. The actual James Webb Space Telescope is slated to launch in 2014.

How about some good editing in posts while we're working on the science? What the hell is all that?

They can call it the Hubble's successor, but it's really not. Hubble captured visible light, while this one is for observing in infrared.

Still very cool, but I wish they wouldn't make stuff up like that.

Interesting that you start a thread with this title, they start another in the Science forum about the bible. Shall we also amend your request, to keep it on the topics relating to real science?

Perhaps, I am missing something here, but are you implying that the James Webb Telescope(JWT) isn't "real science"?

I must be missing something??? JWT will take us back to the Cosmic Dark Ages... something the HST is incapable of doing due to red shift.


EDIT: DUH! The typo threw me off.

I view it as the separation of fact and make believe

There is plenty of that next door. "Science and Technology forum" suggests this is place where we can avoid all that "exitement" and actually talk about science, rather than argue the validity of it.
