  14. By positioning a handful of #SpaceTelescopes 🔭 with 1-meter mirrors at the focus of the solar ☀️ lens, astronomers could capture a rich, 800-by-800-pixel image of an #exoplanet 🪐. This focus is more than 550 times farther from the Sun than Earth—three times the distance #NASA’s #Voyager 1 has traveled in its nearly 50-year trip. The full mission could fly by 📆 2034, would involve half a dozen spacecraft traveling three times as fast science.org/content/article/su

  30. How Can We Bring Down the Costs of Large Space Telescopes?

    JWST is the most powerful telescope ever built by humanity, but it cost around $10 billion. Astronomers are already planning next-generation telescopes that should be even bigger and more sensitive, but the costs can't keep rising. A new paper suggests new approaches that could lower the costs of large space telescopes, using bigger launch vehicles, advanced computing, and low-cost control systems. There's no single silver bullet, but these new techniques could get us more giant telescopes without accelerating budgets.
