Comments Off on What will the James Webb Space Telescope see?

The James Webb Space Telescope, is, as you may know, the successor to Hubble. No, it won’t be exactly like Hubble, so… what kind of science will it actually do? Well, this series of videos about what Webb will see was just released today. There are actually 5 narrated videos about Webb’s science, with the raw animations used in the videos available for separate viewing/downloading.

Here’s a handy YouTube playlist so you can view them all!

You can also view them on Webb’s site, and there are links to download them in various formats there.

A NASA release has more background the supercomputer created visualizations too!
