In a year of so many amazing achievements in space exploration, there may be nothing as inspiring and scientifically significant as the deployment of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The most powerful telescope ever built is allowing scientists to peer into the distant past—billions of years—to help fill gaps in our understanding of the universe and its history. What exactly are we learning from the JWST? NASA’s Amber Straughn, Deputy Project Scientist for the JWST, talks with Cady & Andrew about surprising new discoveries, and what’s still to come from this game-changing new telescope. Also, Cady sees a UFO, Andrew shares a favorite author, and a topical Sounds of Space courtesy of the great folks at SYSTEM Sounds.
