SUMMARY:The James Webb Space Telescope\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Jonath
 an Gardner\, NASA
DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope is the scientific successor
  to the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. It will be a large (6.6m)
  cold (50K) telescope launched into orbit around the second Earth-Sun 
 Lagrange point. It is a partnership of NASA with the European and Cana
 dian Space Agencies. The science goals for JWST include the formation 
 of the first stars and galaxies in the early universe\; the chemical\,
  morphological and dynamical buildup of galaxies\, the formation of st
 ars and planetary systems and understanding our Solar System. Webb has
  four instruments: The Near-Infrared Camera\, the Near-Infrared multi-
 object Spectrograph\, and the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectr
 ograph will cover the wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns\, while the Mi
 d-Infrared Instrument will do both imaging and spectroscopy from 5 to 
 28.5 microns. The observatory is confirmed for launch in 2018\; the de
 sign is complete and it is in its construction and test phase. Recent 
 progress includes the completion of the mirrors and the flight instrum
 ents and the start of cryogenic testing.
