One Year of The James Webb Space Telescope with Neil deGrasse Tyson

What have we learned from JWST? StarTalk celebrates one whole year of JWST by bringing you some of our favorite clips of Neil deGrasse Tyson and scientific guests talking about the space telescope from planning to launch to its first images and beyond!

We go all the way back to JWST first images and Neil’s initial reactions. Talking with NASA scientists Natalie Batalha and Jim Green we learn about the hopes and priorities for the space telescope. Plus, learn about its home in L2 and spectroscopy. We take a look back at the first JWST images of Stephon’s Quintet, The Southern Ring, and Carina Nebula with Nicole Colon. Finally, we get to the groundbreaking discovery of early galaxies and discuss how our model of the early universe and “the dark ages” needs to be reassessed. Looking forward to many more years of breathtaking images and new discoveries with JWST!
