Into the Deep and Beyond: Webb’s First Four Years

Speaker: Dr. Macarena Garcia Marin, STScI and European Space Agency

The Webb Space Telescope is the largest and most sophisticated space telescope ever built. Its successful launch in 2021 marked the beginning of a new era in infrared astronomy. After four years of science operations, its transformational results are revolutionizing every field of astronomy — from our own solar system to the depths of the early universe. This discussion will explore Webb’s record-breaking performance, scientific breakthroughs, and astonishing discoveries. We will also look ahead and ask the questions that will shape Webb’s future science.

This lecture will be presented with a livestream to YouTube, and questions can be asked in the YouTube chat. The recording will also be posted on our YouTube channel.
