This workshop was recorded on 08-2-2022
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) launched in December 2021 and has arrived at its final destination, about 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Now that the first full-color images have been shared, what new discoveries can we expect? As the world's largest and most powerful space telescope, Webb is an ambitious scientific endeavor to reveal the hidden universe to our eyes using infrared technology: stars shrouded in clouds of dust, water in the atmospheres of other worlds, and light from the first galaxies ever formed.
In this online workshop, we learned more about the images and data captured by Webb. Members of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) joined to provide information about the images as well as connections to public engagement.
