. >> reporter: while the hubble telescope has lasted more than a 1/4 century, hubble won't last forever, so it's about to get a new space companion. >> it will be pretty. >> reporter: this is the james webb telescope scheduled to launch in october, 2018. unlike hubble which captures images from its orbit around earth, the webb telescope will travel 1 million miles space to take its pictures. >> this is technology that did not exist when this telescope was conceived and when it was agreed that we would do this, the technology still did not exist. >> reporter: but it does now. construction of the webb telescope is done and testing is about to start on what will be the largest space telescope ever launched. >> it's gigantic. you can see this beautiful gold telescope is seven times the collecting area of the hubble moon, we would be able to see you. >> reporter: boulder aerospace built the mirrors which will enable the webb telescope to capture new images of galaxies far beyond our current view. we spoke to the program manager from ball aerospace earlier this year. >> we're going to discove

i'm inside the hubble space telescope doing this million dollar repair on this billion dollar telescopegrabbed that hand rail and i gave it a couple of tugs and "wang," it came right off. >> reporter: final thought. think about how fortunate we were to be alive on that day in 1969 when they walked to the moon. we were kind of sprinkled with moon dust, our generation. >> yeah, we're very lucky. >> reporter: it inspired a whole generation of astronauts of your generation. >> right. >> reporter: do you worry that young people today don't have a similar inspiration? >> i talk to a lot of high schools students around the country and they still have that same interest, but it's just different. it's not like we had. it's a way that what was given to us was different. now we can engage with the astronauts that are in space. i was the first person to tweet from space, but now every astronaut tweets from space and does instagram and snapchat and facebook going in. i think it's more of a personal relationship they have with space now. they see it as more obtainable than me watching my super-heroes

what you have here is one of the most famous images ever taken and it's by the hubble space telescope and it's called the hubble ultra deep field and by deep we mean how far into the universe is that picture reach, and of course it's a nasa photo. notice there is a red object, that's a star sitting on our nose in our own galaxy and it might be the only star not photo. every other smudge, every other speck of light is beyond the stars of our milky way and they represent entire other galaxies each containing hundreds of billions of stars so when we talk about the probability of life, we generally contain it within our own milky way, but if you want to multiply up by the scale of the universe and all the galaxies contained within it , you would be inexcusably egocentric to suggest we are the only life in this universe. by the way, this area on the sky is a tiny fraction of the area of the full moon so you takeoo this and multiply it out by all the points and all these tiles that you can fill up the sky with and that's how you recover these numbers such as 130 billion galaxies. we can bri

it is by the hubble's base telescope and is called the hubble ultra deep field. by deep we mean how far into the universe is that pitcher breach. it is a nasa photo. notice there is a reddish object with spikes. that's a star sitting on our nose in our own galaxy. that that might be the only star in the photo, every other smudge and speck of light is beyond the stars of our milky way in the represent entire other galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. we talk about the probability of life we contain it within our own milky way. but if you want to multiply up by the skill of the universe and all the galaxies contained within, you would have commute be inexcusably egocentric to suggest that where the only life in this universe. by the way, this area on the sky is a tiny fraction of the area of the full moon. so you take this and multiplied out by all the points in the tiles that you can fill up the sky with and that is how you recover these numbers such as the universe contains -- 130,000,000,000 galaxies. we can bring the lights back up. let the

like the hubble telescope, it will actuall the telescope still needs to go through more tests.. before it's set to launch in 2018. this month you'll be able to see one of the most breathtaking views in the nightsky of the last nearly 70 years. in less than two weeks a "supermoon" will light up the skies. nasa says the supermoon on monday november 14th -- will be the biggest super moon we've seen since 1948... and we won't get another one like it again until the year 2034. the moon is expected to reach its full adlib to weather weather clear skies this evening with temperatures gradually falling through the 50s. overnight lows will dip into the low 40s. some may morning then expect another mostly sunny day with high temperatures in the middle 60s. similar conditions will linger into sunday then slightly cooler on monday with increasing clouds late. showers are possible monday night into early tuesday then tonight: clear with areas of fog possible. low: 43 wind: wsw 5-10 mph saturday: mostly sunny and warm. high: 67 wind: wsw 5-10 mph sunday: mostly sunny and warm. am low: 45 high

you didn't have as good a view as hubble but this is something to can see.what's happening is off the top of the picture is a brilliant star. and the light of the star is so intense that as it shines down on this interstellar cloud of gas and dust, it sort of blowing this material away. it's almost as if it is evaporating it didn't interstellar space. however, right here there is a knot of material so dense that its blocking the light of the star and preventing it from blowing away the material behind it. that's why this material is sticking, out like a finger sticking out of the club essential to its in the shadow of this dense material. and deep inside, the material is growing so dense it's collapsing under its own weight. and eventually it will collapse to form a star. that's how our star, the sun, formed 4.6 billion years ago. and once you form a star, you can begin to form planets. because now you have a swirling cloud of debris with material flying around. sometimes these particles will hit and break apart. other times, however, when they hit they will

if you've never seen an interview with a astronaut, mike put his space twice, fixed his hubble. can't wait to talk to him. >> and tweeted from space. >> the first person to tweet from space. we begin with politics. we are expecting to find out who will be appointed to donald trump's cabinet. so far the only named confirmed is republican party head reince priebus who will be the chief of staff. the longest serving chairman of the republican party and being seen as a bridge between trump and long time republicans. >> we're hearing that rudy giuliani is a favorite for secretary of state. alabama senator jeff sessions could become secretary of defense. one name we apparently won't be seeing in a trump cabinet is former republican presidential candidate ben carson. he reportedly said he is not interested. of course he had been considered for secretary of education or many people had mentioned health and human services. >>> donald trump has been tweeting this morning. he said if the election were based on total popular vote, i would have campaigned in new york, florida and california

years our knowledge of the universe has expanded dramatically, thanks to space observatories like hubble kepler, and planet hunting telescopes on the earth. (light music)

however we want to make sure that we like the hubble telescope is that we metrics lens, which gm ginsburg has told was over and over again through which we look at everything were you look at everything we will make sure it's adjusted before its launch. your supportive but we want sometime for some corrections to the metrics could for example, the metrics show to make this is a key point, the staff still presume for example that 100% of park resources and services consumed in a neck we zone part by equity zone residence. a study of 24 senses trucks around mclaren for example established that 12 of the 24 tracks actually were occupied by nonequity zone folks and that they used the parks by 50 birds 56% of the population using the quarter-mile buffer zone around everything we does established as a presumption as the assumption of how people use parks. that buffer zone is the basis for the analysis that the census tracks actually show more accurate assessment who uses the park. it's incorrect to assume that an equity part is used entirely by 1% equity folks zaidi . >> dennis can i ask you a
