Opening a New Chapter of Exoplanet Science with JWST — Ian Wong (NASA GSFC)
Thursday, November 18, 7 p.m.
It has been more than 25 years since the first detection of an exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star. In that time, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets has revolutionized our understanding of planetary systems across the galaxy. Armed with a powerful arsenal of observational techniques, astronomers have leveraged both ground- and space-based facilities to expand our picture of exoplanet demographics and characterize these alien worlds with ever increasing detail. The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope will usher in a new age of exoplanet science. Learn more about this event and speaker, Ian Wong at rowan.edu/panetarium.
