Guide to Space - What Comes After James Webb & Nancy Grace Roman?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0RpGa_IXA


From Jun 12, 2018.


The Hubble Space Telescope has been in space for 28 years,
producing some of the most beautiful and scientifically important
images of the cosmos that humanity has ever taken. But let’s face
it, Hubble is getting old, and it probably won’t be with us for
too much longer.


 


NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is in the final stages of
testing, and WFIRST (Nancy Grace Roman) is waiting in the wings.
You’ll be glad to know there are even more space telescopes in
the works, a set of four powerful instruments in design right
now, which will be part of the next Decadal Survey, and helping
to answer the most fundamental questions about the cosmos.
