The Webb team had to find new ways to build the mirror so that it would be light enough - only one-tenth of the mass of Hubble's mirror per unit area - yet very strong. James Webb Space Telescope necklaceThis is the second piece in my new collection which pays tribute to some of the coolest telescopes around (which all started with my old favourite, the Lovell Telescope). It shows the eighteen super shiny mirrors of JWST, and comes on a silver plated chain with a lobster clasp closure.This is probably the most optimistic of my telescope collection; JWST is currently scheduled to launch in 2021 if all goes to plan.I laser cut and assemble every piece of these ne The James Webb Telescope is often described as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope which is nearing the end of its mission life. The obvious difference is that Webb is much bigger. Its main mirror is 6.5m across versus Hubble's 2.3m. But the new observatory will also be working at longer wavelengths of light compared with its predecessor. James Webb Space Telescope Necklace

The Hubble telescope has been responsible for some of the most dramatic and downright incredible photographs taken of our universe, aside from pushing astronomical science forward. But the time for a successor to the venerable Hubble has come and a critical part of it is being built in Utah.

If the Hubble Space Telescope's 2.4 meter mirror were scaled to be large enough for Webb, it would be too heavy to launch into orbit. The Webb team had to find new ways to build the mirror so that it would be light enough - only one-tenth of the mass of Hubble's mirror per unit area - yet very strong.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is both large and heavy, so it requires some big equipment to move it from one place to another during testing. The sunshield on the Webb telescope is 70 feet by 48 feet, or roughly the size of a tennis court. Once it and the attached spacecraft bus are combined with the telescope element, with its mirrors and science instruments, Webb will weigh almost 14,000 pounds, which is about as much as a full-size school bus.
