SUMMARY:PUBLIC TALK : Finding our origins with the Hubble and James We
 bb Space Telescopes\, PUBLIC TALK AT THE DISCOVERY CENTER\, Jonathan G
 ardner\, NASA
DESCRIPTION:Astronomers try to answer the biggest question of all: “
 How did we get here?” Using a flood of data from the Hubble Space Te
 lescope\, other space missions\, large telescopes on the ground and su
 per-computer simulations\, we are starting to piece together the histo
 ry of how simple particles\, mass and energy that formed in the Big Ba
 ng changed over time to become galaxies\, stars and planets today.  In
  this talk\, I will discuss some of the most important astronomical di
 scoveries of the last 20 years\, and the role that space telescopes ha
 ve played in those discoveries. The next decade looks equally bright w
 ith Hubble and the promise of its successor\, the James Webb Space Tel
 escope. I will describe Hubble’s greatest accomplishments and how th
 ey lead to the reasons we are building Webb.
