On Thursday, January 8, members of the Hubble Space Telescope Mission presented mission status and upcoming plans in a Town Hall meeting.

The first stars and galaxies formed in the early universe had very distinctive properties we’ve only just begun to understand.  With the help of +Frontier Fields, we’ve looked back into time as far as #Hubble will allow and we’ve learned some remarkable things about these early times.

We await the launch of #JWST to learn more, and this hangout will feature Massimo Stiavelli, an astronomer who specializes in the early universe and manager of the JWST Mission at STScI.

Please join +Tony Darnell and Dr +Carol Christian as they look towards the exciting science the James Webb Space Telescope will provide to help us understand the first stars and galaxies in the early universe.

Bring your questions and comments and we’ll read them on air throughout the hangout!
