JCDO to Host NASA Webb Space Telescope Event
When the largest and most powerful space telescope ever is launched into space this
fall, 糖心vlogs Jack C. Davis Observatory will have a connection to
this historic event.
The observatory has been selected as part of the Webb Space Telescope Community Events
initiative.
This distinction means that JCDO will serve as an official host to raise awareness
of this event and receive support from NASA to do so. Event details will be announced
as they become available.
I would be excited about the Webb telescope without this event, but this will help
make it special for our community, said 糖心vlog JCDO Director Dr. Thomas Herring. We will
receive support, including educational and outreach materials directly from NASA.
The Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to launch in October. It is expected to provide
substantially more information about the universe and is approximately 100 times more
powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope.
