New views of our universe with the James Webb Space Telescope

Speaker: Dr Robin Catchpole, Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge

Synopsis:

After an introduction to the telescope; where it is, how it got there and how it works, we will see how, close to home, the telescope is finding evidence for possible life on planets around nearby stars and far away, what it tells us about the first few hundred million years of the life of the Universe.
