Europe’s Spaceport, the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a large infrared telescope with a 21.3
foot (6.5 meter) primary mirror. The observatory will study every phase
of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant
observable galaxies in the early universe."
