Abstract
NASA scientists have unfurled a blueprint for an ambitious new project: a $500 million successor to the Hubble Space Telescope that will peer in the infrared back to the early stages of galaxy formation. The NASA team has proposed an 8-meter reflector made of eight thin segments, which unfold like petals of a flower once in space. The proposal is being enthusiastically endorsed by astronomers, but it has many hurdles to clear before it flies.
