    James Webb Space Telescope – NASA’s Next Great Observatory

    A million miles from Earth, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will use infrared vision to detect the first, most distant stars and galaxies in our universe. The Webb Telescope will peer deep inside swirling disks of dust and gas encircling newborn stars where new planets are formed. It will measure the sizes of planets orbiting other stars and the compositions of their atmospheres. Seeking to answer a major question – are we alone in the universe? In this technical session, attendees will learn about JWST, by the numbers. What do 13.5 billion and 1.5 million (just to name a few) represent to JWST, the world’s largest space telescope to launch? This session will also highlight the latest integration photos of the telescope and detail the latest status of the program.
