Learn how the world's two largest space telescopes operate, their capabilities and how they differ. Over the past 29 years our knowledge of planets, stars, galaxies and the universe expanded because of the Hubble. The pictures are very dramatic. Sadly, the Hubble is approaching its end of useful life as a space telescope. However, the replacement, the James Webb Space Telescope, exceeds the capabilities of the Hubble. An opportunity will be given for questions and answers during the presentation.
