Latest Discoveries in Astronomy From the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)!
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 9
In this ongoing class, we will discuss the latest and greatest findings in observational astronomy from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)! JWST was made by NASA (in collaboration with ESA and CSA) and cost the U.S. taxpayers a total of $10,000,000,000! The goal of this class is to understand the discoveries that are being made by JWST, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. No prerequisites are required for this class.

Students will learn about what the James Webb Space Telescope is currently exploring.
I have a bachelor of science degree in astronomy & astrophysics from Penn State University with 3 years of experience as a planetarium presenter where I taught primarily high school groups in my live presentations. I am a scientific content partner with the Africa Space Institute where I create and present online classes for high school students in Africa. I have also been an astronomy tutor since 2019.
We will be looking at the James Webb Space Telescope data. We will also frequently look at other relevant images and resources from NASA, ESA, and CSA to supplement the James Webb Space Telescope's images.
I teach astronomy and astrophysics classes. Potential future classes may include: Observational Astronomy: Deep-Sky Objects, the solar system, understanding orders of magnitude, spectroscopy, astronomy & astrophysics 101, astrobiology 101,...
