Astronomers urge NASA not to cut corners on Hubble successor
Article Abstract:
The James Webb Telescope may lose its Mid-Ifrared Instrument (MIRI) in NASA's rush to keep the next-generation space telescope on time and within budget. MIRI would enable the telescope to observe infrared wavelengths up to 28 micrometres, and its loss would be a blow to future astronomical and astrophysical research.
