JWST starts unfolding the universe, one new image a time | Answering your JWST Questions - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator
from 2022-07-24T18:05:12
On this episode, we have compiled all-things JWST after the 1st images were released on July 11th-July 12th! We are living in a post-JWST world and already the amazing piece of space technology is a suitable successor for the Hubble Space Telescope. And NASA/ESA/CSA are just getting started, as images continue to be released and show us even more about the unseen infrared spectrum of the universe.
We share a whole lot of info in this episode, including:
- What to look for when you're looking at JWST images
- Where to find the original images and explore, as well as process your own images to share with others!
- The Challenge of JWST's release schedule and keeping the average citizen up-to-date on the latest discoveries
- Reflections on what JWST has already shown us
- We answer some of the questions you reached out to us about on the podcast:
- What are we seeing in these first images from JWST?
- How Hubble & JWST are different?
- How JWST moves in space and how it gained it's usable fuel to extend its lifetime almost double?
- What are we excited for next from JWST?
