Join @AwesomeAstroPod today for the Tale of Two Telescopes, exploring NASA’s new flagship James Webb Space Telescope, and ESA’s pioneering Euclid, set to uncover the Dark Universe. Enjoy!
May 27th: The James Webb Space Telescope
Its goal is to push the boundaries of astronomy and cosmology by observing some of the most distant events and objects in the universe, such as the formation of the first stars and galaxies. Today @cosmicsavannah discuss about JWST with Prof Christy Tremonti
Oct 25th: Cosmic Perspectives: Dutch Astronomy in Wider Society – JWST
This week Cosmic Perspective: Dutch Astronomy in Wider Society discuss with Professor Ewine van Dishoeck about JWST. More at #365DaysOfAstro
Oct 20th: Globular Clusters: Already Old 9 Billion Years Ago
JWST’s larger mirror has allowed astronomers to find gravitationally lensed galaxies that have globular clusters almost nine billion years old. P
Jul 27th: JWST Releases First Five Science Images
Starting with the stunning release of JWST’s first image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 on July 11, the bonanza continued the morning of July 12 with newly released images of Stephan’s Quintet, the Carina Nebula, the Southern Ring Nebula, and exoplanet WASP-96b
Jul 25th: Did JWST Work?
We’re FINALLY going to talk about the James Webb Space Telescope. After decades of development, delays, budget creep, the powerful infrared observatory is at its final home at the L2 Lagrange point. Yesterday (at the time we’re recording this) we saw the first scientific images from the telescope and according to Pamela’s rules, we’re finally allowed to talk about it.
May 4th: Awesome Astronomy May 2022 News
Time for @AwesomeAstroPod news round-up and skyguide. We have JWST, new type of nebula, detecting life in Europa, exoplanet around dead star, galaxy with no dark matter and more. #365DaysOfAstro
Feb 7th: The Cost of Delays
With all the success of James Webb so far, it’s looking like science’s huge gamble is going to pay off, but there were years of delays and budget overruns. What impacts did these delays have on science, careers, and the future of space exploration?
Jan 13th: JWST & The 30 Days Of Terror
With the successful launch of the JWST, the focus turns to the complicated process of unfurling the sunshield and unfolding the mirror. We’ll look at just where NASA is in the process and how much farther we have to go before first light.
Jan 5th: Awesome Astronomy January 2022 News
Let’s start 2022 with news round up. @AwesomeAstroPod will discuss about water on Mars, life in Venus, image from supermassive blackhole region, rogue planet, & JWST.
