The James Webb Space Telescope will be the largest telescope ever put into space and will replace the Hubble Space Telescope. It will be launched into orbit beyond Earth's moon, where it can work in an ultra-cold environment, protected from the heat of the Sun. How will the new technology of the Webb Telescope enhance the data scientists will be able to collect from outer space? It will collect highly detailed data about nuclear activity deep within the Sun.

It will avoid the distortion from the atmosphere and give scientists more accurate data.

It will detect high-energy ultraviolet radiation emitted from supernovae and black holes.

It will see farther out into space to give scientists insight into how the Universe was formed.
