    James Webb Space Telescope

    Webb is an infrared observatory built by NASA with ESA and the Canadian Space Agency. Where Hubble sees mostly visible light, Webb looks in the infrared, to see the first galaxies, look through dust, and study the atmospheres of planets around other stars.

  • Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

    Roman has a mirror the size of Hubble's, 2.4 metres, but a camera that sees about 200 times more sky at once. It is an infrared survey telescope: it is built to look at a lot of sky and find things, which the narrower telescopes can then study.
