Into the Unknown

The James Webb Space Telescope will be the world’s premier space science observatory when it launches in 2021. With WebbVR, you can fly up-close to Webb’s golden mirrors, and learn how it collects infrared light to reveal the cosmos. You can also compare Webb with the Hubble and WFIRST space telescopes. Info hubs within the VR environment provide more information about each mission.
