Why did we talk so much about James Webb and I'm only discovering about this telescope now ?

A telescope designed for dark energy !

At least part of it is that NASA is good at marketing. They make cool shit and hype up the public so we all know how cool it is too. Soon they'll be launching a NASA+ streaming service that's completely free. All their video and live content in one place. They're genuinely one of the coolest public entities I know about, and part of why I know about them is because they're so good at marketing their projects to the lay public.

"+" in it's name but it's free, what kind of sorcery is this

It was, in fact, the regular, no "+" NASA that required the tax dollars.
