The James Webb Space Telescope: Why space telescopes are ...
jwst.nasa.govSpace Telescope. Explain to students that we need larger telescopes in space to see celestial objects in more detail. The view of the object through binoculars or a small telescope compared to the unaided view is the kind of difference that you would see with a larger telescope in space compared to a smaller one in space, such as the James Webb

Galaxies through Space and Time - NASA
www.nasa.govAs NASA’s first Great Observatory and the first major optical telescope in space, Hubble ushered in a new era of precision astronomy. The heart of the telescope is its 94.5-inch-diameter primary mirror. It is the smoothest optical mirror ever polished, with no deviations greater than one-millionth of an inch.
