STEM Cafe' - The James Webb Telescope - Laura Sparks: SRJC

  • SPARQ Center at Piner High School 1700 Fulton Road Santa Rosa, CA, 95403 United States (map)

The groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope has already produced some of the most beautiful images ever seen. This talk will delve into the idea that the farther you look in distance, the farther back you look in time, and explain how the concepts of cosmological redshift and gravitational lensing help us to understand the origins of stars, galaxies, and everything that exists. We will explore how the technology of the JWST allows us to see farther back in time than ever before with such amazing clarity and detail. There is a new Telescope in town, and it is brining us mind bending images of the universe as never seen before!
