Video description:
0:00-0:14: A cartoon of JWST appears flying on a broomstick with two black bats fluttering by its side. JWST and the bats soar by the image, which consists of two fiery red galaxies colliding. The galaxies could resemble glowing eyes. The arms of the galaxies are colorful with yellow, orange, blue, and red hues.
0:15-0:43: The words “Happy Webb-O-Ween” pop up on screen in the upper third of the frame. The text is white with a red outline, and the letters drip like liquid down the frame. The horizontal image fills the center of the frame. Behind the image, the background is a zoomed-in and out-of-focus version of the same image. The image zooms in as the text pops off-screen. As the image continues to zoom in, the frame focuses on the left-side galaxy. The image slowly pushes into the luminous, white, and yellow center of the galaxy and then pans over to the right-side galaxy.
0:44-0:47: A cartoon of a friendly white ghost with pink cheeks, a little smile, and its arms extended above itself pops into the center of the frame. The word “Boo!” pops up simultaneously in bright, green, dripping lettering. The letters trickle down the frame. Fade to black.
0:48-0:53: The JWST logo appears, which reads, “Webb Space Telescope,” positioned to the right of an animation of JWST with reflective gold particles floating across the frame. The NASA meatball logo appears as a blue circle with “NASA” written across it in white text. Stars dot the circle, and an animation of red and white slashes swoop across the logo.

Far and Wide: Roman and Webbs Overlapping Roles in Understanding Our Universe, Part 2: Surveying the Universe
Start with Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/of4idLURL_0
The James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman space telescopes are NASA’s latest flagship astrophysics observatories. One is in space already and the other will join it there soon. These two telescopes look very different, have different objectives, and together will advance our understanding of the universe. This four-part video series explores the differences and synergies of Roman and Webb.
The Webb and Roman telescopes will both help us answer questions about the fundamental nature of the universe. Webb’s deep gaze will see the earliest galaxies and help astronomers learn more about the young cosmos. It will let researchers study individual galaxies in great detail.
Roman’s unique combination of incredible detail and broad coverage will enable it to survey large swaths of sky, revealing millions of never-before-seen galaxies. Astronomers will study them as populations and to see the hidden large-scale structure of the universe, revealing new insight into the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter.

Poem by Phooi Jing
Poem read by Kate Jolly
Trillions of stars beaming far,
The universe breathes pristine air ,
Nebulae shields the heavens breath,
To thousands light years away where secrets stay.
The Big Bang nurtures the first gallon of fluid,
Turns it into series of beauty,
The goddess of beauty we live in,
Maps of dark matter and energy awaiting to be seen.
Old man Hubble has the the glory,
Charted on the milestone gleaming,
The successor Webb has now ready,
To be the heir of this obligated journey.
Stars, planets, humans, ants,
We all are made of the same universe grains,
The symbol of evolution James Webb,
We ride to explore another blue light,
In the name of revolution that births a fruit bright,
We venture into stardust on another flight.

![Far and Wide, Part 4: Teamwork
The James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman space telescopes are NASA’s latest flagship astrophysics observatories. One is in space already and the other will join it there soon. These two telescopes look very different, have different objectives, and together will advance our understanding of the universe. This four-part video series explores the differences and synergies of Roman and Webb.
Despite different observational strategies, both telescopes will be stationed in space at the Legrange Point 2, a relatively stable region a million miles away from Earth. From there, both will have an almost unobstructed view of the whole sky and low temperatures to keep their instruments cool.
Roman’s broad and enduring view will mesh perfectly with Webb’s focused gaze. As Roman discovers new wonders throughout the cosmos, Webb can follow up with detailed observations to help astronomers understand them better.
