The Webb Telescope Journey to Space Part 2: Loading and Departing

$Tiny Mic: Whats your favorite Webb image? Tiny mic, big science! We’re celebrating Webb’s third launchaversary this month by asking you to pick your favorite image. We thought it was only fair to go first. We asked project scientists for some of NASA’s telescopes to share what makes their favorite Webb images so special. 0:00 White text reads “We asked people who work at Goddard…” on a background of Webb’s first deep field image, with many stars and galaxies. 0:01 White text that reads “What’s your favorite Webb image?” fades on. 0:04 Dr. Giada Arney talks into a tiny mic. 0:05 White text that reads “Habitable Worlds Observatory Interim Project Scientist” fades on. 0:07 Webb’s image of Neptune, a blueish planet against the black of space. 0:17 Dr. Julie McEnery talks into a tiny mic. 0:18 White text that reads “Roman Space Telescope Senior Project Scientist” fades on. 0:21 Pan along a graph labeled “GRB 230307A Kilonova Emission Spectrum” on a black background. 0:38 Dr. Jennifer Wiseman talks into a tiny mic. 0:42 White text that reads “Hubble Space Telescope Senior Project Scientist” fades on. 0:46 An image of two spiral galaxies, appearing to blend where they overlap, rendered in pinks, with orange and blue light. 0:55 Dr. Jane Rigby talks into a tiny mic. 0:58 White text that reads “Webb Space Telescope Senior Project Scientist” fades on. 1:01 A bright red and orange star with long diffraction spikes against a black background of space. 1:06 Back to Jane. 1:10 White text reads “Now it’s your turn…” on a background of Webb’s first deep field image, with many stars and galaxies. 1:11 White text that reads “What’s your favorite Webb image?” fades on. “Your” is red. #Space #NASA #Galaxy #Spectrum #Star #Planet #Neptune #Webb #Hubble #RomanSpaceTelescope #JWST$
