Seeing The Universe Like We've Never Seen It Before

Now that the James Webb Space Telescope has released its first images, it’s time for the science programs to begin.

We meet 5 scientists who will be using the telescope during its first cycle of operations looking at the earliest galaxies, red giant stars in the disc of Andromeda, star forming regions in the MIlky Way and nearby galaxies, the Trappist-1 exoplanet system, and mysterious icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune.
