SUMMARY
Despite the huge advances in space technology in recent decades, much of the universe remains a source of mystery, often provoking more questions than answers. But technology exploring the cosmos continues to progress, from the Hubble telescope first launched in 1990, to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in December 2021.

BBC Sky at Night’s Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock was one of the British space scientists to work on JWST, and will break down the latest and greatest science to come out of the world’s most powerful space telescope. Now over two years since the first stunningly clear images of the depths of our Universe captured by JWST were released, Maggie will demystify the latest images to be produced by James Webb’s groundbreaking infrared technology.
Join us for a night of spectacular space science, and discover how we may finally have the tools to answer the biggest questions surrounding our Universe, and how it came to be.

Copies of Maggie's latest book "Webb's Universe: The Space Telescope Images That Reveal Our Cosmic History" will be available to purchase after the talk.

The livestream will go live at 6.55pm, and the introduction will begin at 7.00pm. If you register but miss the livestream, the video will be available to you via the same link for two weeks after the event date.
