The James Webb Space Telescope
The Hubble telescope, as is known today, is a great space telescope discovering many of the galaxies known today but as all things things get old they need to be replaced. The replacement for the Hubble telescope is the James Webb telescope. Since 1996 NASA, ESA, and the Canadian space agency have been building and designing together to make a worthy successor for the Hubble telescope. The James Webb Telescope is named after the the second administrator of NASA, who played a big role in the Apollo program. When it is launched, the James Webb Telescope will be the largest space telescope ever before.
Parts of the James Webb Telescope

To the left is a picture of the telescope and some of the parts involved with the construction of the telescope; such as the Sun shield, which protects the body of the telescope(in the picture below). The James Webb Telescopes mission is to search galaxies with a red shift of 15 or more, were the ultraviolet light has shifted to infrared light and the beginning of time. Some of the differences between telescopes are wave lengths of the light it can detect, its orbit (middle below)and, its size(bottom right).
With a 6 and one half meter primary mirror, it is the first telescope to have a mirror with a diameter larger than the launcher and will have to be folded to fit in the EZRM5-CA, its carrier system. The mirror is also able to be altered to make the greatest of images for the viewers on Earth.

All objects including telescopes emit inferred light from the distance of the beginning of the universe. The telescope can detect this light and can be swarmed by closer and larger amounts of inferred such as the sun the moon and earth. The telescope uses its four scientific instruments to be protected from these objects by tennis court sized sun shields.
