Title: 
James Webb Telescope: Towards an Expanded View of the Universe

Presenter:
Saad, Somaya (National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics)

James Webb, the largest space telescope ever built, has traveled a million miles into space and is four times farther away than the moon to begin its work observing the formation of stars, planetary systems and exoplanets. Webb is designed to answer some of the biggest questions about the universe. Here we will review some of the first results of James Webb within two years of its launch. With its ability to capture the spectrum in the infrared range, James Webb can reveal a lot about the origin of the universe, the seeds of the first galaxies, the solar system and exoplanets and answer many related questions.

About the 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop:

The 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop took place:12 - 15 November 2024. The Shaw-IAU workshops focus on astronomy education for primary and secondary school students and teacher training both in universities and in service. This year's workshop featured two special topics: an exploration of the first two years of the James Webb Space Telescope for the scientific topic, and the crucial aspect of evaluation in educational contexts as the non-scientific topic.
