Re: Goodbye Hubble

The James Webb Telescope looks like it will be a great tool, but it's designed primarily to operate in the infrared band, and can't cover as much spectrum as the Hubble currently can. It would be a great compliment to the Hubble, but it really can't function as a drop-in replacement. It's also not planned to launch until August of 2011, and that's a long time to go without searching the stars for clues to the origins of the universe.
