The next generation of eyes will see beyond our current limits
In short: While the Hubble Space Telescope is nearing the end of its long journey, a new era of observation is beginning. This video explores the four powerful upcoming instruments currently in design to succeed the James Webb Space Telescope and WFIRST.
The current landscape of space exploration is shifting as aging infrastructure like Hubble gives way to more advanced technology.
These upcoming telescopes are slated to be included in the next Decadal Survey, a key planning document for NASA's long-term goals. They represent the next step in humanity's effort to capture scientifically significant images and data that surpass the capabilities of our current orbital observatories.
