Less than four years after its showstopping launch, the James Webb Space Telescope is facing massive budget slashes that will, experts worry, harm scientific progress. As Space.com reports, the research center that oversees Webb's operations has been directed — by whom,

On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than images from ground-based telescopes. In August of that year, Hubble made one of its first discoveries,
