“Webb has the potential to blow people away, even people who are used to the pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope – and I know that’s hard to imagine,” said Lee Feinberg, whose team was responsible for the Webb mirror at NASA.
“Webb is so powerful, almost anywhere we look we’re going to be breaking new ground in a huge way,” Feinberg added.
Thomas Zurbuchen, Director of Science at Nasa, said: “We have a deployed telescope on orbit, a magnificent telescope the likes of which the world has never seen. So, how does it feel to make history, everybody?”
The Hubble Telescope’s images transformed our view of the cosmos. WAnd Webb’s should be even more enlightening and impressive.
