Speaker: Heidi Hammel, AURA

The James Webb Space Telescope is revolutionizing our knowledge of the cosmos, from the most distant galaxies to objects right here in our own local neighborhood. Infrared  studies of the Solar System have delved deeper into rings, rocks, plumes, auroras, and much more. A renowned expert, Dr. Hammel will provide an exploration of some of the  planetary science from JWST that has been intriguing her and her colleagues.

The STScI Public Lecture Series offers talks on a diverse selection of cosmic topics, typically held the first Tuesday of every month. The Public Lecture Series is continuing an online-only format. This lecture will be presented with a livestream to YouTube, and questions can be asked in the YouTube chat. As usual, the recording will also be posted on our YouTube channel. We will, as necessary, adjust from the traditional first Tuesday at 8 PM schedule to accommodate our speakers.
