The James Webb Telescope is finally ready for its departure to its new home. After countless delays and issues, NASA is ready to let the most advanced space telescope humanity has ever created soar into space. The launch coincides with Christmas day, which could be a great way for space fans and astronomers to spend the holiday this year.

Whichever part of the world you are in, you can watch the James Webb space telescope launch into space live. NASA will broadcast the event via the NASA TV channels on December 25. The live coverage time will vary based on where you are watching it from.

James Webb telescope launch: When will it launch?

The James Webb telescope will left off atop the Ariane 5 rocket on the early hours of Christmas Day, which is December 25. In India, you can catch the launch live at 5:50 pm in the evening of December 25.

James Webb telescope: What is its significance

The James Webb telescope is currently the most advanced space telescope humanity has built. It will succeed the Hubble telescope that has been discharging duties for past few decades.

“We've been waiting a long time for this,” said the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's planet hunter Sara Seager. “Webb will move our search for life forward, but to find signs of life we have to be incredibly lucky.”

With the James Webb telescope, scientists will now have higher magnification to look into deep space. This could help them unravel the mysteries of the universe. Hence, the launch of this space telescope is crucial and everything needs to go perfect. This is also the reason that NASA has been delaying the launch due to poor weather around the French Guiana spaceport.
