Will the JWST Rewrite Our Understanding of the Universe? | Jeff Zweerink

Dr. Jeff Zweerink explores how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is transforming our understanding of the universe. He discusses the remarkable engineering behind JWST, its mission to observe the early universe, and how these observations provide insights into galaxy formation, the first stars, and the reionization period. Could the JWST be the key to unlocking answers about the universe’s age, structure, and fate? Discover how JWST’s cutting-edge technology is helping us to connect the dots between the cosmic microwave background and the development of galaxies, as well as what it means for both Big Bang cosmology and the search for habitable planets.
