Presented by Dr. Mike Adler
Geologists of Jackson Hole
The launching and deployment of the new James Webb Space Telescope has renewed a new wave of interest in “Space” that hasn’t been seen since the human exploration of the Moon over 50 years ago. In this talk we will review the launching of the Webb telescope and its deployment in an orbit around the Sun over 1 million miles away.
We will also explore how the Webb telescope can look further back in time to the early universe and to study planets around other stars for life. In doing this we will look at the images that I have made from the Webb telescope’s first 6 months in operation and to talk about what these images reveal and what we have learned from them.
