CHRISTMAS DAY ROCKET LAUNCH OF JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
Ten billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope launched into space early Christmas Day from a European space sport. The Webb promises to provide views if things previously invisible to the Hubble telescope, its predecessor, since it detects infrared energy. The device will help image massive black holes, far-away planets which orbit other stars and galaxies in their original appearance "soon" after the Big Bang. Featuring NASA Ambassador to Solar System Chris Hefner and Oxford research scientist Alex Cameron.
