The bullet is through the church: the ambitious American-European-Canadian space telescope James Webb (JWST) will go to space on December 24, the American space agency NASA and the European launch company Arianespace announced on Saturday.
Recently, there was talk of the JWST leaving on December 22. But a problem arose in the communication between the viewer and the launch system of the Ariane-5 launch vehicle that is to launch the successor to the Hubble space telescope from the European launch site Kourou. The start is now scheduled for December 24 at 13:20 Belgian time. The JWST is the largest and most powerful space telescope ever. Among other things, it must collect light from stars and galaxies shortly after the Big Bang. The launch was initially planned for 2007 but suffered several delays. (Belgium)
