Behind the Webb: Third Light’s the Charm (Episode 17)

Posted by

Before light from the universe reaches Webb’s cameras and science instruments, it will reflect off four different mirrors — the primary, secondary, tertiary and fine-steering mirrors. The light’s third stop along its zigzagging path is the tertiary mirror, housed within the Aft Optics Subsystem at the center of Webb’s 21-foot primary mirror. Mary Estacion visits Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado, to learn about the tertiary mirror’s role and to see how the mirror’s optics are being tested.

“Behind the Webb” is an ongoing series that follows the construction of the Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor. Find more episodes at Hubblesite.org.

Nashville to LA! Winter Road Trip in a Topless Deuce Roadster – HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 26

Posted by

On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, Staff Editor Thom Taylor drives a channeled, topless Deuce roadster in the dead of winter from Nashville to LA, encountering what you would expect in the middle of winter: ice, rain, cold, frost, and did we mention cold. Thom drove the roadster back to LA to promote HOT ROD’s 65th anniversary event, HOT ROD Homecoming, taking place in March 2013 (HotRodHomecoming.com). Watch the roadster slip, slide and spin 2,000 miles as Thom takes Interstate 40 through eight states and 70-degrees of temperature change, taking breaks for burnouts, breakdowns, bad weather and junkyards.

Behind the Webb: Canada’s Dynamic Duo (Episode 16)

Posted by

Host Mary Estacion takes us to Ottawa, Canada, to examine the Canadian Space Agency’s contributions to the Webb telescope. The Canadian Space Agency is providing the Fine Guidance Sensor, which will enable Webb to point accurately at objects astronomers want to observe, and the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph, an instrument that will break light into colors for analysis, enabling the study of both extremely bright objects and the detection of faint objects near stars — like distant planets.
