201: The James Webb Space Telescope

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill

The boys drink and review a sake, then discuss the James Webb Space Telescope. This magnificent feat of engineering launched on Christmas Day, 2021, and recently deployed flawlessly at Lagrange Point 2. From there it will scan the heavens on the infrared part of the spectrum and send back astonishing pictures. P&C review the history of the development of this marvel, discuss all the things that had to go right for it to be a success, and wonder about what humanity might learn from this new look into the cosmic past.
