The James Webb Space TelescopeThe James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to Hubble and will be launched into space in 2013. It is not only bigger than Hubble, but is cooled to 225 degrees below zero Centigrade in order to detect the infrared light, or heat radiation, from distant stars and galaxies. I will discuss how Webb's scientific discoveries will take us beyond Hubble, and describe some of the recent progress we have made in its construction.
