NASA Administrator James Webb receiving a plaque from President Kennedy during Distinguished Service Ceremony in Washington, D.C. "rior to serving as the NASA Administrator, Webb served as the Undersecretary of State during the purge of queer people from government service known as the “Lavender Scare.” Archival evidence clearly indicates that Webb was in high-level conversations regarding the creation of this policy and resulting actions." More than 1,200 people-mostly astronomers and passionate enthusiasts-have already signed a petition urging NASA to rename the telescope. James Webb was Undersecretary of State during the “Lavender Scare,” an era barring homosexual people from government jobs. The new space telescope will be NASA’s succession to the pioneering Hubble Space Telescope, but its scientific potential is being overshadowed by its connotations. The telescope will search for light from ancient galaxies, distant exoplanets, and gasses that might indicate the presence of life on other celestial bodies, reports George Dvorsky for Gizmodo.

"At best, Webb's record is complicated," says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a cosmologist at the University of New Hampshire, to NPR’s Nell Greenfieldboyce. Prescod-Weinstein, who co-authored an opinion article in Scientific American on the subject, says, “And at worst, we're basically just sending this incredible instrument into the sky with the name of a homophobe on it, in my opinion."Ĭontroversy over the telescope’s name has circulated among professional and amateur astronomers for years, but its upcoming launch has thrust the issue into the public spotlight. In just a few months, the James Webb Space Telescope-which is about 14 years behind schedule-will find its home in the sun’s orbit, where it will spend years monitoring the cosmos.

The controversy has many calling on NASA to rethink the name of the the $10 billion telescope, which is set to launch in December. James Webb, who was an influential administrator at NASA during the 1960s and 1970s, worked in the Truman administration as Undersecretary of State at a time when the department systematically discriminated against gay and lesbian employees. NASA says they do not plan to rename the multi-billion-dollar James Webb Space Telescope, despite concerns from astronomers, the public and agency employees.
