Free lecture: Celebrating Two Years of the James Webb Space Telescope

To celebrate the two-year anniversary of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) being an operational telescope, we will look at some of the discoveries made, how it complements observations of the still-operating Hubble Space Telescope and what the future may hold for future observation campaigns.

And much as the JWST is the successor to the Hubble, we will look at some concepts for the next great space-based telescope.
