NASA's James Webb Space Telescope launch set back to 2021
NASA announced yesterday that its highly anticipated James Webb Space Telescope is delaying its launch — again. But after accepting the recommendations of an independent review board, NASA has announced that the launch has been rescheduled for early 2021. For a mission that's been deemed NASA's "next big telescope," it's not surprising there'd be a few bumps in the road. Following in the footsteps of the Hubble Telescope, Webb will have improved "sight" thanks to its abilities to see longer wavelengths, like infrared. While this mission represents an exciting new opportunity to explore deeper into space, NASA and other federally funded space agencies aren't the only game in town any more.This content may collect you by Max Nolan
