The JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE will be our revolutionary new window to the stars that will rewrite what we know about the universe. From its location 1 million miles away from Earth, and with a giant sunshield the size of a tennis court to block the light of the Sun, Webb is primed to peer back in time to the very early days of our universe. Equipped with the most state-of-the-art technology ever launched into space, Webb will dazzle us with the most detailed images of the cosmos ever captured.Webb will act as a window into the past, revealing the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang some 13.5 billion years ago. It ve heard Webb described as a transformer. Can you talk about what makes this mission such an engineering feat?How can we keep up to date on this mission?Questions for Longer Interviews:What are you most excited about observing/learning once Webb is operational?Webb is the largest and most ambitious space telescope humans have ever put into space. Can you talk about some of the challenges of getting the telescope to its destination?Once Webb is off the ground, there are a series of important steps for the telescope before it gets to its intended location. Can you talk about how tricky the next few months will be?Will Webb take a deeper look at some of the star systems like TRAPPIST-1 where scientists have detected Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zone of a star?Looking for the building blocks of life is a top priority for Webb. Can you tell us what you’ll be looking for when it analyzes the atmospheres of some of the intriguing moons of Jupiter and Saturn? || Cannd interview with Dr. Jonathan Gardner / Depity Senior Project Scientist, James Webb Space Telescope.
