15 New York State Observatories To View Space Like The James Webb
NASA and the James Webb Space Telescope have gotten the world excited about space once again. With breathtaking photos from space, it's safe to assume that we've all got a little bit of "Space Fever." Where can you look at stars across New York State? Where are the top observatories and places to view space?
Little History On The James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror. The Webb telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, eventually replacing the Hubble Space Telescope. According to NASA, it will study every phase in the history of our Universe:
Ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.
You can check out some of the amazing photos being released online from NASA.
