Saturday Morning Physics | The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope: Discovery (in) Space
Professor Michael Meyer (U-M Astronomy)
On December 25, 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket at the Guiana Space Centre in South America, beginning its 30-day journey to its final destination in orbit about a semi-stable position relative to the Sun and Earth.
This exciting beginning also marked the end of 20+ years of design, development, and construction for this flagship facility that will have a profound impact on many branches of astronomy and astrophysics. Professor Meyer will review the capabilities of this magnificent new space telescope as well as preview some of the discoveries it is poised to make.
