In order to make these observations, the scientific instruments on the telescope need to be kept incredibly cold. That means a crucial part of the telescope is the massive sunshield that will protect it from the heat of the sun.
“The James Webb Space Telescope Sunshield is completely unique,” says James Cooper, NASA James Webb Space Telescope Sunshield manager. “There are no other telescopes that use this type of shield for cooling of their optics.”

Project SNOWstorm uses solar powered GPS transmitters to collect precise data on snowy owls. Fun Article about the project from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Yahoo:
Affection and concern for the species led Racine native David Brinker and a group of other ornithologists in 2013 to form Project SNOWstorm, a crowd-funded initiative to study and help conserve the owls.
But Brinker knows it’s important to not get too attached to the project’s subjects.
