10 December: Come hear about the JWST, by JWST scientists

December 7, 2021/in AfAS, Astronomical events/by wpadmin

JWST stands for James Webb Space Telescope. This is the new generation telescope that will overtake the Hubble Space Telescope after over 30 years of incredible astronomical images and science.

The JWST is due to launch on 22 December this year, and a lot is at stake. To learn more about this feat of science and technology, join us:

on 10 December 2021 at 13:00 – 15:00 GMT as we speak to:
Dr. Sarah Kendrew from the European Space Agency and the Space Telescope Science Institute in the USA, and
Mr. Robel Geda from Princeton University, USA.
