Celebrate and learn about NASA’s new James Webb space telescope (WEBB) before the big space launch! October 20th, bring your family to Challenger Learning Center of Alaska for interactive activities exploring this magnificent WEBB telescope, from how it’s made, what it sees, to why it’s so important. There will be activities for all ages including tours of our simulator rooms and a star planetarium!
or JOIN US VIRTUALLY!
To really make your family experts for the launch, there will even be a virtual NASA specialist joining in to share insider information and answer your questions! Dr. Vivian U, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of California, will join us via zoom at 5pm. If you are not here you can join the zoom or watch on YouTube Live!
Send your WEBB questions ahead of time, about merging galaxies, supermassive black holes, using infrared observations from the Webb Telescope and/or large ground-based telescopes to colette.gilmour@akchallenger.org
