Big Picture Science - Webb Feat
(REPEAT) The James Webb Space
Telescope has turned its golden eye on the cosmos. The largest, most sensitive
telescope put in space since the Hubble Space Telescope is already producing
new photos of far-off galaxies and other cosmic phenomena.
In this episode:
astronomers share their reactions to these stunning images, the project
scientist on JWST describes how infrared cameras capture phenomena that are
invisible to shorter wavelengths, and a plan to investigate the very stardust
that created everything, including you and me.
Guests:
- Néstor Espinoza – Assistant astronomer, Space Telescope Science Institute, principal investigator for exoplanet atmospheric physics, James Webb Space Telescope
- Alyssa Pagan – Science Visuals Developer at the Space Telescope Science Institute
- John Mather – Nobel Prize-winning NASA astronomer and Senior Project Scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope
- Alex Filippenko – Professor of Astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley
