Join us for an evening with Dr. Gregory Wirth of BAE Systems on a fascinating journey through the past, present, and future of the NASA space telescopes transforming our understanding of the cosmos. Even as astronomers continue to harness the power of cutting-edge ground-based observatories, space telescopes driven by groundbreaking engineering innovations command center stage.Discover how NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, with its precisely aligned segmented primary mirror, is delivering astonishingly sharp infrared images of the universe. Learn about the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to explore dark matter and dark energy with a camera 100 times more powerful than those on Webb and Hubble. Finally, get a glimpse into the future with NASA’s ambitious Habitable Worlds Observatory, designed to identify and study Earth-like exoplanets using an exceptionally stable optical system.
This talk will delve into recent discoveries from Webb and explore the remarkable technologies transforming these visionary concepts into modern engines of scientific discovery.
