Join Nobel-prize winning astrophysicist John Mather as he discusses the ground-breaking James Webb Space Telescope. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which launched in 2021 and began science operations in 2022, will peer into the past to find the first objects that formed after the Big Bang, the first black holes, the growth of galaxies, the formation of stars and planetary systems, and more. 100 times more powerful than the celebrated Hubble Space Telescope, the JWST could observe a 1 cm² bumblebee at the Earth-Moon distance, in reflected sunlight and thermal emission and promises to reveal more wonders of our universe. In this talk, senior project scientist for JWST and Nobel-prize winning astrophysicist John Mather will share how NASA and its partners built the JWST and some some of it's first discoveries. |
