NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated July 27, 2013 of the optics module of the James Webb Space Telescope's primary imager, the Near Infrared Camera, arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. In this photo, Lockheed Martin engineers attach a lift sling to the NIRCam instrument. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confirmed until later this summer or perhaps in the fall. The instrument, successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which is the largest science observatory ever placed into space, will launch on a European Ariane 5 rocket from a spaceport in French Guiana.

Karel Malich

***MAY 8, 2013 FILE PHOTO*** Sculptor, painter and graphic author Karel Malich, one of the most renowned Czech artists of the second half of the 20th century, died at the age of 95 today, on October 24, 2019, Nikola Bukajova, from the Zdenek Sklenar Gallery that represented Malich for many years, has told CTK. Malich's best known works are his colourful pastels and the objects he made of wires in the early 1970s as a way to record energy processes, a matter he dealt with for most of his artistic life. In his works, his internal experience close to a mystical feeling of his self and his internal light, combines with his knowledge of physics and the works of leading scientists that profoundly changed the mankind's idea of the shape and functioning of the outer space. He previously said that for all his life he strived to create the invisible such as the light and energy streams, and reach harmony and balance in his works. (CTK Photo/Michal Kamaryt)
