At SXSW gaming expo NASA contractor Northrop Grumman has some young University of Texas Astronomy post docs and undergrads talking about the new James Webb Space Telescope.

The JWST is launching in  2018 and will work with Hubble in our investigation of the cosmos. Eventually taking over Hubble’s role. Testing is going on right now at the Goddard Space Flight Center and soon at the Johnson Space Center to ready the new state of the art instruments JWST will use to push the veil of the unknown back just a little more.
