# 2013 Telescope Will Redefine Cosmos James Webb Space Telescope By Rose A. Valenta | Published 2007-12-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-webb-space-telescope-to-launch-in-2013 References: [futurismic](http://futurismic.com/) & [futurismic](http://futurismic.com/) Huge strides in Big Bang cosmology have been made since the late 1990s as a result of major advances in [telescope technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seestar-s30-pro), as well as the analysis of data from satellites such as COBE, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). A more powerful, higher resolution telescope, the [James Webb Space Telescope](http://futurismic.com), scheduled to launch in 2013, will replace Hubble and study the epoch of reionisation, some one billion years after the big bang, a theory that was proven by Bell Labs scientists in the early 1960s. If you are as excited about this topic as I am, you need to read “Three Degrees Above Zero” by Peter L. Bernstein. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Big Bang Cosmology Advancements:** The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in 2013 will advance Big Bang cosmology research. - **Telescope Technology Innovation:** The higher resolution and power of the James Webb Space Telescope will redefine telescope technology. - **Study of the Epoch of Reionization:** The James Webb Space Telescope will enable the study of the epoch of reionization. ### Who This Affects Most - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can benefit from the advancements in telescope technology by creating more powerful and high-resolution telescopes for various applications. - **Scientific Research:** The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope can provide scientists with more data to analyze and draw insights from. - **Education:** The James Webb Space Telescope can create opportunities for educators to teach students about telescope technology and advancements in Big Bang cosmology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Matter Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-matter-map.md) - [4K Smart Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4k-smart-telescopes.md) - [App-Controlled Smart Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evscope-equinox-2.md) - [Rooftop-Mounted Space Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestron-origin.md) - [AI-Powered Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finder-tw2.md) - [Smart Personal Observatory Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaonis-hyperia.md) - [Crystal-Clear Smart Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-telescopes.md) - [Intelligent Connected Telescope Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decouvir-telescope.md) - [Automated Algorithm-Powered Telescopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-space-telescope.md)
