A lot of #SETIshorts videos about #JWST are coming out on the @SETIInstitute YT. Many of these interviews were captured by @AllPlanets during the "First Science Results from JWST" #JWSTFirstScience conference back in December 2022 @stsci @spacetelescope https://www.youtube.com/@SETIInstitute

@uarizona What are spectra and why are they so exciting? Kaitlin Rasmussen from @UW, Yoni Brande from @KUPhysicsAstro, and Brittany Miles from @uarizona explain how we’re using #NASAWebb spectroscopy to understand exoplanets. #JWSTFirstScience

“It is so thrilling to see what we got! Everything we did was worth it.” #NASAWebb Senior Project Scientist and Nobel Prize laureate John Mather from NASA Goddard sums up the excitement of #JWSTFirstScience. What’s in store for the future? “If it’s not impossible, let’s do it!”

I also interviewed @djulik and @AstroRickman about direct imaging of exoplanets, Olivia Lim about the first result on Trappist-1, Michael Kelley about mainbelt comets and @grobertsborsani about a new population of galaxies. This was fascinating #JWSTFirstScience

Brittany Miles from @uarizona is explaining how she’s using #NASAWebb spectroscopy to study the atmospheric chemistry of brown dwarfs. What’s so interesting about brown dwarfs? ➡️ https://webbtelescope.pub/3FpEwGF

This is incredible!
A glimpse into the possibility of life elsewhere in our universe

By me, from #JWSTFirstScience symposium in Baltimore this week https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04452-3

Geronimo Villanueva from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is explaining how we can use the James Webb Space Telescope’s sensitive infrared spectroscopic capabilities to measure the abundance of key gases—like water, carbon dioxide, and methane—on Mars and other planets and moons in our solar system. #JWSTFirstScience #JWST #STScI #NASAWebb

Imke de Pater from UC Berkeley is explaining her team’s work using the James Webb Space Telescope observations to build a more detailed understanding of Jupiter’s atmosphere. #JWSTFirstScience #STScI #NASAWebb #JWST

Ryan Lau from NOIRLab is using the James Webb Space Telescope to study the colliding winds that formed the brilliant rings of carbon-rich dust ejected every 7.93 years by the binary star system WR 140. Check out the preview Ryan gave us back in October: webbtelescope.pub/3S3D8xO #JWSTFirstScience #NOIRLab #JWST #NASAWebb #STScI

Yao-Lun Yang from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research in Japan shared how he’s using the James Webb Space Telescope to study organic ices like methane and ethanol found in disks of material where stars and planets are forming. The ices are important in planet formation–the chemistry happens on the surfaces of the ice grains!

What does the Ring Nebula look like through JWST? Super-pretty! Presented by Roger Wesson at #JWSTFirstScience symposium today in Baltimore

Enjoying this conference so much :)

Welcome to Day 2 of the #JWSTFirstScience Conference here at the Space Telescope Science Institute!

First up: What we’re learning about star formation and characteristics of nearby populations of stars from #NASAWebb.

A big conclusion from early #jwst data…galaxies formed earlier & faster than we thought! Via the GLASS program #jwstfirstscience

With the help of gravitational lenses—nature’s magnifying glasses—#NASAWebb has captured images and spectra of exceptionally faint galaxies. Guido Roberts-Borsani from #UCLA explains how we’re using Webb to understand ancient galaxies that burned off the cosmic fog of the Dark Ages. #JWSTFirstScience #JWST #STScI

Adam Carnall of Edinburgh's Royal Observatory just revealed some surprising results: #NASAWebb is finding a bunch of “massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift” i.e., big galaxies that seem to have finished most of their star-formation within the first billion years of the universe! #JWSTFirstScience #STScI #JWST

Macarena Garcia Marin, James Webb Space Telescope Instrument Scientist/Deputy Project Scientist in the Webb Mission Office at STScI, is briefing us on Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI): “We are seeing unsurpassed sensitivity and resolution. It’s really excellent quality!” #NASAWebb #STScI #JWSTFirstScience #ESA #JWST
