Looking Deeper into Space: The James Webb Telescope Livestream

Looking Deeper into Space: The James Webb Telescope Livestream


Two James Webb Space Telescope Livestreams were held on October 13 and 14, 2021, reaching more than 1000 viewers across the United States, and counting! These livestreams are preparing people for the James Webb Space Telescope launch and resulted from the awesome collaboration between two NASA Science Activation Teams: the American Museum of Natural History's OpenSpace Team (https://science.nasa.gov/science-activation-team/openspace-project) and the NASA@ My Library Team (https://science.nasa.gov/science-activation-team/nasa-at-my-library). The LIvestream audience members were encouraged to put questions in the chat, where two near-peer Subject Matter Experts helped provide answers.

Questions from the audience were fabulous! Kohen, 9 years old, asks:
