The Hubble Space Telescope Successor, the James Web Telescope, Has Been Deployed.

The top photograph of the Launching of the the James Web telescope was soured from the Cable News Network (C.N.N.): https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/25/world/james-webb-space-telescope-launch-scn/index.html

’Twas the night before launch,
And all through Kourou,
The teams are a go, and the weather is too!
The rocket rolled out to the launchpad with glee,
Join us for the world's biggest launch watch party!

First reported and reported by Cable News Network’s (C.N.N.) Ashley Strickland, “The telescope lifted off atop an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at 7:20 a.m. ET.”

“The telescope comes equipped with a mirror that can extend 21 feet and 4 inches (6.5 meters) — a massive length that will allow the mirror to collect more light from the objects it observes once the telescope is in space. The more light the mirror can collect, the more details the telescope can observe.”

We have LIFTOFF of the @NASAWebb Space Telescope!

At 7:20am ET (12:20 UTC), the beginning of a new, exciting decade of science climbed to the sky. Webb’s mission to #UnfoldTheUniverse will change our understanding of space as we know it. pic.twitter.com/Al8Wi5c0K6
