| A model of the James Webb Space Telescope |
Ever wonder just how large a space telescope is? This weekend a full-scale model of the James Webb Space Telescope was on display outside the Long Center. The telescope reaches four-stories tall, with a sunshield that’s roughly the size of a tennis court.
About 100 times more powerful than its predecessor, the Hubble, the James Webb is expected to launch in 2018.
