A new space telescope has been launched to explore the universe. This telescope is expected to take over three months to reach its destination, where it will join another NASA telescope. The telescope's mission is to hunt for planets and survey the cosmos.

It was launched aboard a powerful rocket, and its journey began shortly after daybreak on Sunday. The telescope is named after a former NASA chief astronomer and is valued at $4.3 billion.

Further details about the telescope's mission and capabilities are available from the source. The telescope's observations are expected to provide new insights into the universe, but specifics about its findings are not yet known.
