The Web Telescope : Launching a legacy – notes from lecture
- Decembers STSCI lecutre was in early December. I am just catching up on this so my notes are below.
This months lecture looked at what the JWST will be used for, how it compares to the existing telescopes including; Chandra, Spitzer and of course Hubble. There were a good few photos from various telescopes, one to illustrate the limitation of Hubble in the IR region.
There was also an overview of the launch and deployment process and a look at each stage of this.
The team are really excited about the launch and upcoming mission.
Here is the video, which is hosted on YouTube.
There is one on the STSCI website too
Note the above link is to my blog post from 1st December that has a link to the lecture page.
