NASA has released a trailer for the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, a new space-based observatory that will be the most powerful space telescope in the world. Set for launch on Christmas day, James Webb will be the successor to the beloved Hubble Space Telescope and will allow astronomers to look further out into the darkness of space than ever before. NASA/Chris Gunn Telescopes like James Webb are launched into space so they don’t have to look through the water in Earth’s atmosphere to observe objects in space, which allows them to see further out and in more detail. James Webb is packed with scientific instruments like spectrographs and infrared cameras which will allow it to image distant stars and to study other objects like black holes and exoplanets (via NASA).
