1 00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,040 It's really essential to study our own solar system because that's 2 00:00:04,060 --> 00:00:08,100 sort of what we’re comparing all the other planets around other stars to. 3 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:12,260 We had to make sure this highly sensitive, huge 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,260 telescope that’s designed to detect the first stars and galaxies across the universe 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,310 could actually look at the biggest and brightest things in the solar system that are also 6 00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:24,330 moving at very fast rates of motion. So it was my role to help establish 7 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:28,390 moving target tracking for all these small bodies in the solar system. 8 00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:32,390 My science goal for JWST involves the 9 00:00:32,410 --> 00:00:36,430 entire solar system. So observing everything from near Earth 10 00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:40,440 object to giant planets and their satellites, icy worlds, 11 00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:44,440 Europa and Enceladus, things that have plumes and we suspect 12 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:48,450 oceans under their surface, to the farthest reaches of the solar 13 00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:52,510 system, so things like trans-Neptunian objects or Kuiper Belt objects 14 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:56,510 even Pluto and its satellites. 15 00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:57,771 music
