The James Webb Space Telescope was designed, constructed and launched to find out things about the universe that no other instrument—including its Hubble predecessor—can or possibly could.  We will explore how JWST is different, what we hope to learn from it about black holes, galaxies, the Big Bang and the universe, and which early answers we have found so far.

Club member Mark Whipple will lead this course presentation
