What comes after the James Webb Space Telescope? Some astronomers want LIFE.

As the slot largest and most complicated human-made contraption ever delivered to the cosmos, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) harrowed astronomers with its launch last year. The telescope has unprecedented sensitivity to peer deeper into the inky universe and resolve distant objects. But the next generation of further-seeing telescopes may not necessarily have to beat JWST's heft to top its vision.

"If you want to keep getting a better angular resolution, then either you have to build bigger and bigger telescopes—or you have to switch to interferometry," says Scott Gaudi, an astronomer and exoplanet hunter at the Ohio State University.
