## Caption

I'm in the middle of the James Webb Space Telescope's sunshield! This space-based telescope is scheduled to be launched in 2018! This sunshield will keep the #JWST instruments so cold that they can properly view the light from the FIRST STARS 🌟✨ created after the Big Bang 💥 (in the infrared), about 13.5 billion years ago. This is a TIME MACHINE people!! ⌚️ learn all about it on #Xploration Outer Space on Hulu.
