终于，我们终于要目睹NASA的James Webb太空望远镜的发射？
If you haven’t heard about this infamous telescope in the news recently, that’s because it’s not really a new project, but something that was originally supposed to launch all the way back in 2007. But after undergoing a drastic design change, the JWST was then given a new launch window between 2015 and 2018 which conveniently got delayed till June 2019, followed by a new launch date in May 2020 and then when it seemed like it couldn’t get postponed any more, the COVID-19 pandemic proved everyone wrong and once again the launch date was changed to March 2021. But of course, no one predicted the second or the third wave to continue for so long so the previous launch date was again changed to October of this year. Yes, it’s finally happening! (Okay sorry, we don’t want to jinx it just yet)
经过数年（或在这种情况下，数十年）进行严格的测试之后，NASA终于发出了望远镜进入太空的信号，一直到距离我们的太阳能系统一百万英里的第二个拉格朗日点。但是，在望远镜可以进入太空之旅之前，它必须到达位于南美北部海岸的库鲁的发射场，从加利福尼亚州一直到南美北部海岸。安全包装和运输的准备工作正在进行中，因为它一定会在9月份出发前往发射场。
如果这次一切顺利，望远镜最终发射，JWST将在红外线中扫描宇宙至少10年，从而使科学家更深入地了解太空。将来，这将被证明是我们提供地球以外生命证据的最佳资产。
