Questions & Answers

Can the Hubble Telescope take pictures of the James Webb Telescope?

good question, i'm just not sure this google page listing is the best place to ask haha! theoretically yes - hubble and webb can take pictures of just about anything that they can be pointed toward. essentially if something emits/reflects visible/UV/IR waves [which both telescopes do], then they can take a picture of it. that being said i'm no expert, so i'd suggest NASA's website for further research!

I saw the Institute mentioned on TV do you offer tours?

The institute does not offer tours due to security reasons, but you are welcome to come visit the lobby which features a really cool model of the Hubble Space Telescope. There are also free public lectures held (typically) the first Tuesday of every month in the auditorium. They focus on various space-related topics and are also streamed live if you can't make it to attend in-person. http://www.stsci.edu/communications-and-outreach/public-outreach/public-lecture-series

Is this a place to visit for someone very interested in space or is this just an observation center for employees with nasa for hubble and eventually james webb tele?

I would recommend the public lecture series though. Usually the first Tuesday of each month, also streamed on YouTube.
