An astrophysicist’s live reaction to the James Webb Space Telescope Launch

Описание: Live from a kitchen cooking a Christmas turkey in Lancashire, England, I very nervously watched the (successful!) launch of JWST. The telescope has since successfully separated from the main stage of the rocket. Now it’s just another nervous wait over the next few weeks as it travels to L2 and unfolds.

👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
