HabWorlds and What YOU Can Do About It

Jason Tumlinson (STScI / JHU)

NASA’s Cosmic Origins Program has established a Science Interest Group (SIG) specifically for galaxies science. Our goals are to map out the galaxies’ science priorities for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO, the 6m UV-Optical-IR space telescope that is the top recommendation from the Astro2020 Decadal Survey report), and other Future FIR and X-ray Great Observatories. On behalf of the NASA Galaxies Science Interest Group (Galaxies SIG), we would like to invite you to join our Fall Seminar Series. This kick-off seminar for an overview of the HWO is given by Jason Tumlinson (STScI).Join the New Great Observatories Slack.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
