The long-awaited launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, successor to Hubble, is finally here. This next generation space telescope is at the launch site in French Guiana and is expected to take off as early as December 22nd. With Webb, astronomers expect to see further, fainter, and with more detail than ever before to explore the most distant galaxies, the nearest planetary systems, and everything in between.
Come learn from UCSC astronomers about this new space telescope, what big questions we expect it to answer, and how UCSC scientists will use it to understand our universe. Event includes speakers, audience Q&A, exhibit tables and kid friendly activities. We also plan to have telescopes set up for viewing the night sky if conditions allow.
