After traveling nearly a million miles to its new home beyond the moon, the James Webb Space Telescope, launched on December 25, has stabilized, opened its main mirror and yesterday started to power up the instruments needed to get the first glimpses of a target star.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher we'll discuss the latest on the James Webb Space Telescope and more on astronomy.

GUESTS:

  • Tom Burns, Former Director of Perkins Observatory, Ohio Wesleyan University
