The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST abbreviated) is an infrared space telescope planned to be the partial successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope.
JWST won't really act as a successor because it won't be sensitive to all wavelengths of light that Hubble can observe. Its main scientific goal is the more distant objects in the universe; other fundamental devices or observing objects that Hubble has not seen.
