The key facts listed in the image (in the specified language) are: [Line 1] Will be the premier space observatory for astronomers worldwide, extending the tantalizing discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. [Line 2] An international collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. [Line 3] The largest telescope ever placed in space; 100 times more powerful than Hubble. [Line 4] So big it has to fold origami-style to fit in the rocket and will unfold like a “Transformer” in space. [Line 5] Has a 5-layer sunshield that protects the telescope from the infrared radiation of the Sun, Earth, and Moon; like having sun protection of SPF 1 million. [Line 6] With unprecedented infrared sensitivity, it will peer back in time over 13.5 billion years to see the first galaxies born after the Big Bang. [Line 7] Will orbit the Sun 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth.
