Dr. Becky | Astrophysicist explains why JWST HASN'T "disproved Big Bang theory" | Night Sky News Aug 22 @DrBecky | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
And no, that doesn't mean that "the Big Bang never happened" 🤦🏻♀️ This month we're debunking some viral claims about James Webb Space Telescope data, chatting about the Artemis 1 mission and whether Betelgeuse's weird dimming has finally been explained.
All raw JWST data that has been made public is accessed via MAST: https://mast.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Mast/Portal.html

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). 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.
