NASA is working on a new space telescope, Hubble's successor. James Webb telescope can "see" at 13 billion light years away and will be launched into space in 2018.
The project was about to be abandoned in 2011, but NASA received from Congress the necessary funds to complete the project, and mirrors used by James Webb Space Telescope were completed, writes CNET.
Hubble's successor will see 13 billion light years away
NASA space telescope named after former U.S. space agency's administrator, James Webb, and principal component contains 18 hexagonal beryllium segments, overlaid with gold.
To capture images from a distance of 13 billion light years, James Webb telescope will operate at temperatures of -220 C, so captured images will not be affected by infrared objects together.
