Video Title:
The Hubble Space Telescope: Opening Cosmic Doors for JWST
Description:
The Hubble Space Telescope is opening new frontiers of astronomical discovery, even 28 years after its launch, thanks to its suite of cameras and spectrographs, five astronaut servicing missions, and innovative uses by scientists around the world. In this lecture, Jennifer Wiseman, Hubble Space Telescope senior project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, will highlight Hubble’s newest incredible observations of stars, distant galaxies, and even planets outside our solar system. She will also discuss how Hubble is being used for clever investigations of mysterious dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. With the imminent launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Hubble mission is now placing special emphasis on observations that will set the stage for the most effective uses of JWST. Wiseman will reveal how Hubble’s surveys and analyses of galaxies, star clusters, and exoplanet atmospheres are providing a framework for incredible scientific discoveries when JWST joins Hubble as complementary super-eyes on the sky.
