James Webb Space Telescope, world’s largest and most powerful, launched Christmas morning
James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s largest and most powerful, rocketed away from South America into the sky Christmas morning.It took off from French Guiana on South America’s northeastern coast to fewer spectators than expected, given the launch fell on Christmas after a series of untimely delays and amid a global surge in COVID-19 cases.Around the world, astronomers had eagerly waited to see Webb finally taking flight after years of setbacks. Last-minute technical snags bumped the launch nearly a week, then gusty wind pushed it to Christmas.
