Unfolding the Universe: The James Webb Space Telescope

Unfolding the Universe: The James Webb Space Telescope

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is unfolding the universe, and revealing sights humanity has never seen before.  In this video, astronomers describe working with the telescope and how the images and data are collected.  From first images to routine operations: experts at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD explain how the images are processed, and turned from raw data to the spectacular full-color images seen on the internet.
