About the Event
The James Webb Telescope, with its huge, segmented mirror, has shed a new light on the Universe with its Infra-Red instruments. For the last two years it has searched for the earliest galaxies and stars, looked deep into the heart of galaxies and nebulae, analysed exoplanet atmospheres and made discoveries never before imagined. As the images appear, it is as if humanity has opened its eyes for the first time.
With stunning images and emotive music, this presentation is an odyssey like no other.
