NSN Webinar Series: What to Expect from the James Webb Space Telescope

Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, March 23 at 6pm Pacific (9pm Eastern) to hear Dr. Kelly Lepo update us with the latest on the James Webb Space Telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope is NASA's next flagship space observatory, which will launch in October 2021. In this presentation, Dr. Lepo will discuss the science and challenges of infrared astronomy, as well as the big questions that the Webb telescope will help to answer: What were the first galaxies like? How do galaxies change over time? How do stars and planets form in those galaxies? What are the atmospheres of planets around other stars made of?

She will also discuss what to expect in the 6-months after launch, as controllers carefully unfold and prepare the telescope to take its first science images. You will also learn how you can host your own event celebrating the Webb launch, deployment or first images.
