Join us for an extra-special member event, live from NASA in the United States. Launched in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope allows us to travel back in time to observe the formation of stars and planetary systems far beyond the capability of even the Hubble Telescope.
Astrophysicist Matt Greenhouse, who works on the project, will explain how the telescope gives us views of evolving galaxies we’ve never been able to see before as it searches for signs of life in the atmospheres of distant planets.
This is a Boundless event you will not want to miss.
