Dr. Amber Straughn is an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and a member of the Project Science Team for the James Webb Space Telescope, set to launch in 2018. This next-generation telescope will peer deeper into the universe than even the mighty Hubble. It will search for the first galaxies born after the Big Bang and look into the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars—unprecedented capabilities that may revolutionize astronomy and our understanding of the universe.

Talk starts at 7:30pm. Doors open at 6:45pm.
