Come learn more about the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope Telescope from Tony Rice, NASA/JPL Ambassador. We’ll discuss what has happened with the mission so far, what is coming next, and why this successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is being launched to a point 1 million miles from Earth. We’ll also talk a bit about UNC Alum and Oxford, NC native James Webb and why he was selected for the rare naming honor.

Speaker Bio: Tony Rice is a data scientist in RTP and volunteer in the NASA/JPL Ambassador program. He contributes on space topics to WRAL in Raleigh and the new Fox Weather channel.
