www.facebook.com … James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Part 2/2 – Finding earth-like (extrasolar) planets. — Please SUBSCRIBE to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope, scheduled for launch in 2014. JWST will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System. JWST’s instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range. JWST will have a large mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. Both the mirror and sunshade won’t fit onto the rocket fully open, so both will fold up and open once JWST is in outer space. JWST will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth. • www.jwst.nasa.gov .

This Hubble Space Telescope soars through the heavens at blinding speeds, streaking from New York to Los Angeles in 10 minutes! Hubble opened a secret doorway into the Universe in a way the ancients never imagined. Gary & Bob discuss the “signs in the heavens,” stars, planets, comets, galaxies . . . reasons to praise God for His wonderful Creation!
