Just building and testing the observatory has proved to be a dauntingly complex technological enterprise, pushing the observatory’s astronomical price tag to nearly $9 billion and requiring participation from the European and Canadian space agencies. JWST is both a barrier-breaking and budget-busting undertaking. <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-james-webb-space-telescope-too-big-to-fail/" rel="nofollow">Read more…</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Fri, 29 Dec 2017 19:23:11 +0000 Anonymous 458 at /ness
