Re: James Webb

Here's a good comparison of HST and JWST: https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/about/comparisonWebbVsHubble.html Aside from the increased size of its primary mirror, perhaps the most important difference between the two instruments is that JWST will be working in the infrared range of the EM spectrum....

Re: James Webb

Aside from looking deeper into space, what new revelations should we expect to see with the James Webb? Will the Webb take us further toward the big bang and fine-tuning of the age of the Universe?
