Let\'s face it, Hubble won\'t be around forever. There needs to be another space observatory launched soon so that it can replace Hubble. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may be just the candidate. As it will mostly operate in the infrared region of light, JWST is set to look at extremely old objects and light from potentially the first stars and galaxies to form. Getting closer to the Big Bang and learning about the very early days may soon be in our grasp. Let\'s talk about JWST, where it\'s going to be, what it\'s going to look for, and how it will collect the data. Image of the JWST gold-coated beryllium mirror from NASA.
