NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will launch a million miles to unwrap and explore the distant past
Fox News
The James Webb is set to become the most complex object ever launched into space, and the most powerful time machine ever built.
Following delays including one that pushed its launch from Christmas Eve, the $10 billion Webb – an international partnership with the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency – is targeted to lift off on the morning of Dec. 25 on an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Already years late in flying, the telescope was recently jolted by a clamp during launch preparations and a bad communication link on the rocket had to be fixed.
