Another day, another delay for one of the most complicated space telescope projects ever undertaken.*
NASA announced on Wednesday that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a complicated mission designed to transform American astrophysics and astronomy as we understand it, is now expected to launch on March 30, 2021, about one year later than expected under a timetable announced in March (https://mashable.com/2018/03/27/nasa-james-webb-space-telescope-delay/).*

Oh, and because of the delays, the telescope, which is designed to reveal more about the early universe, galaxy formation, and even alien planets than ever before, just got more expensive. Instead of costing $8.8 billion, the JWST is now expected to cost $9.66 billion. Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/06/27/james-webb-space-telescope-2021-delay-nasa/)
