New Eyes on the Universe: The James Webb Telescope
Presented by Dr. John S. Mulchaey, Director and Crawford H. Greenewalt Chair at The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science
The James Webb Space Telescope represents one of the most staggering combined feats of science, technology, and engineering in human history. From its inception in the mid-1990s, to its launch into space on Christmas Day 2021, more than 10,000 people collaborated in making this extraordinary instrument.
The Telescope is now giving astronomers — and the public worldwide — astonishingly detailed, beautiful new images of our cosmos. You will explore the secrets that these images are revealing, and new clues to the Universe that the Telescope will unlock.
