Join Fred Watson as he explains the James Webb Space Telescope - the largest, most powerful telescope ever built.

​

Set to find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe and peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, 200 million years after the Big Bang, this magnificent structure is already exciting astronomers.

Your Speaker

Fred Watson is Australia’s first Astronomer-at-Large. Recognised internationally for helping to pioneer the use of fibre optics in astronomy during the 1980s, Fred is best known today for his radio and TV broadcasts, books, and other ventures, which have earned him many awards. He even has an asteroid named after him (5691 Fredwatson), but says that if it hits the Earth, it won’t be his fault.
