James Webb Space Telescope Finally In Space! What’s Next? FIRST IMAGES

At 7:20 a.m. ET on Christmas morning, 2021, the rockets fired and the ground shook. Spectators at the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana and the world over held their breath as the wildly ambitious James Webb Space Telescope was launched.

If all goes well, the culmination of decades of work and $10 billion in investment will give humanity a much clearer picture of the origins of the universe and our place in it.

There are numerous milestones since our earliest ancestors looked skyward and wondered about the stars. From the most primitive telescopes to Sputnik 1, from Yuri Gagarin to Neil Armstrong, certain days and events mark “giant leaps” in our progression.

With any luck at all in the coming months and years, Christmas morning 2021 will be right up there with these “giant leaps.”

In today’s post we time travel through nearly three decades of challenges and determination to see Webb finally get off the ground and become the virtual time machine the scientific world has dreamed of for centuries.
