The James Webb Space Telescope

The world’s most powerful future space telescope is coming to New York City as part of the World Science Festival. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will allow us to unveil the very first galaxies formed in the Universe and discover hidden worlds around distant stars when the mission launches in 2014. For six days in June, a full-scale model of this successor to the famed Hubble Space Telescope will be on public view in Battery Park.

The model, at 80 feet long, 37 feet wide and nearly 40 feet high, is as big as a tennis court. It’s as close to a first-hand look at the telescope as most people will ever get.

いやはや３０度近くで暑いこと。

ネットで調べると上のようなものらしい。

世の中僕の知らないことが多すぎる。

２日前にはHawking博士の公演もあったようだ。

所詮門外漢の僕には、そんな公演は無縁なのだけれども。

これを機会に、もうすこし調べてみよう。
