The James Webb Space Telescope is a planned space infrared observatory, intended to ultimately replace the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency are all working on the Webb telescope project. The telescope is named after NASA's second administrator, James E. Webb.

Unfortunately the telescope won't be launched into orbit until at the soonest 2013.
