The Future of Space Telescopes


Listen Later

Space telescopes don't just observe space, they’re located in space. The Hubble Telescope (1990) and the James Webb Space Telescope (2021) marked major turning points in our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe. So just how big, how far, how powerful can the next telescopes go?


Host Roma Agrawal zooms into this topic with the help of:

Garth Illingworth, recipient of the 2016 American Astronomical Society Lancelot M. Berkeley New York Community Trust Prize for his work on the most-distant galaxies viewed with Hubble.

Jonathan Lunine, part of the science team for the James Webb Space Telescope.
