NSF Live: JWST Images with JWST Team21 Aug 2022Support NSF Live with JWST Shirts and Mugs:https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com/collections/james-web-space-telescopeNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), released its first full-color images and spectroscopic data on July 12, 2022. As the largest and most complex observatory ever launched into space, Webb went through a six-month period of preparation before it began science work, calibrating its instruments to its space environment and aligning its mirrors. This talk will explain Webb engineering, first science images, and future science goals.A Pre-show will take place from 3:00pm-3:30pm and will feature Elysia talking about ghosts, I think?
