james webb was launched last year from carew. fantastic launch.pplaud the accomplishment but i am wondering going forward are we going to launch any future observations on foreign soil or are we going to use u.s. soil? dr. clampin: so let me start by congratulating you on a great launch from the kennedy space center last night. that is thrilling to see artemis get off the ground. in answer to your question, we live in a very different world now where there are lots of different u.s. launch opportunities, including a number which provide us with new capabilities that we are definitely thinking of as we look at that 2020 survey but just to give you a couple examples, the roman space telescope we are looking at a launch on the falcon heavy and many of our smd missions launching on u.s. launches. my expectation is we will take advantage of new u.s. launch capabilities provided to u.s.. mr. posey: thank you very much. dr. batalha, i hope i did not mess it up too badly. can you walk us through the process of gaining observation time for james webb, how

the james webb space telescope was years in the making, as we all know. and it is really exciting to see how, despite all of the challenges that we faced in the development, we saw last christmas a wonderful gift that, as we watched the james webb space telescope finally launching, east coast aryan five rocket, and early this year the world watched as nasa released james webb's first fully developed image. of cosmic cliffs in the--. so exciting. so i want to congratulate nasa, isa, and c's, and their many partners for the success of your mission. and, where there are many lessons still to be learned from telescopes development, i am pleased that we are taking this opportunity to examine and celebrates the scientific achievements of the james webb space telescope. and you hear more about the telescopes future observations. and i want to start with dr. clamp in. i want you to know that much of my key focus on this committee is stem engagement. so. can you speak to the stem engagement opportunities that this j. w. s. t. has provided nasa wig, and can you spe

correspondent: the james webb space telescope is 100 times more sensitive than its 30-year-old predecessore hubble space telescope. in all, it's mirror is around 25 meters square, made out of 18 hexagonal segments, coated with a thin layer of a brace gold that reflects infrared light especially well. the mirror's body is made of beryllium, a lightweight metal that holds its form, even in extreme cold. hard to believe, but took only 48 grams of gold to coat all of its segments. remote controlled are mounted on the back of each segment. the strong motors can pivot and turn them in six directions. the main mirror collects light, reflects it onto a smaller mirror. it in turn focuses the light of the telescope's measuring instruments, probing the universe's mysteries with sharpness and clarity, and recording stunning images like this shot of a vast stellar nursery called the torrential nebula, packed with young stars -- tarantula nebula, packed with young stars. or this one dubbed cosmic cliffs. there are razor-sharp images of galaxies far beyond our own milky way, like the cartwheel, 500 milli

sarah kindred and astronomer working for the european space agency in baltimore as a member of the james webb spice mission. i asked her if it was worth if a yes lab was absolutely worth the effort. it was a long ride to get that back and the data that we're seeing on from the telescope, where only one year into this mission and everything that comes back, it's just a tough stake and quality in depth in detail that we can see. and we're already seeing so many new things in different areas of the universe. and so we're really excited about the rest of the mission and very pleased where we are, the day. the images, the times web produces are being described as windows, into a history of our universe. in layman's terms, and i show you, you're talking to one, what do you see in these images? and how does that help us way understand life, the universe? everything? yes. so astronomy as a science, you know, we don't, we don't work in a lab like a chemist or biologist word. so really for us to learn about the universe, we just have to look all around us. you know, the universe department is all lab.

anyone is expected, rests, hey, can you gotta get your head around, isn't it, i mean, and this james webb is a lot more powerful than the hubble a space telescope, isn't it? yes it is. and that's not surprising the, the mirror is really about 3 times the size, the hubble space telescope, davosto space helicopters, scope was, is 30 years old. so the technology has moved on since. and it's resulting more distant objects, more clearly than the public taste space telescope ever could. to explain exactly how much better though it's doing. maybe it's a good idea to do a direct comparison. this, for example, is an image of the cart wheel galaxy that i mentioned in my piece, which is around 500 light years away at the top. is the shot that was taken by the hubble telescope, which if you look at the galaxy itself, is just simply much fainter with a lot less detail than it is on the shot. the bottom which was taken by the james web telescope, also check out the galaxies in the background. many, many more on the web version of the shot and, and much higher resolution. i mean, the difference really i
