 |  Exoplanet census promises radical discoveries
 12 August 2018
The next large space observatory after the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the
Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope (WFIRST). It is about the same size as its
predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, but has 100 times the field of view with the
same resolving power, enabling revolutionary science in both exoplanets and cosmology.
During its five-year mission, WFIRST’s exoplanet microlensing survey will discover
thousands of new exoplanets.
