To launch in 2018 the biggest space telescope we have ever made is getting much closer to looking like a telescope now. The main mirror is now having the finishing pieces attached. The JWST mirror is 6.5 meters accross the Hubble by comparison is 2.4 meters.
The pictures should make Hubble look a bit rubbish. I'm excited by this one.
