The Conversation: Maggie Aderin-Pocock

Description

Webb’s Universe: The Space Telescope Images That Reveal Our Cosmic History

The Conversation is a series of weekly events talking about conflict and empathy, inequality and power, climate crisis and wonder through storytelling and action. The first half of the evening is an interview, which is followed by the host and guest joining the audience around tables to take the conversation further. Everyone is welcome.

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. Following on from the revelations of the Hubble telescope, NASA successfully launched the James Webb Space Telescope in December 2021 to study every phase of the history of our universe. The first stunningly clear images of the very depths of the universe using James Webb’s groundbreaking infrared technology have forever changed the way we see and understand the origins of our existence.

In this spectacularly illustrated session, the astronomer and science writer Maggie Aderin-Pocock demystifies some of the stunning images and breaks down the essential science to show clearly what we’re seeing and learning from the world’s most powerful space telescope.

Chaired by Peter Florence.
