SUMMARY:The James Webb Space Telescope - Launching a New Astronomical 
 Era\, Dr. Steph LaMassa\, Space Telescope Science Institute
DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope revolutionized astronomy wi
 th its launch in 2021 and first science images in 2022. Already\, it h
 as revealed some of the farthest galaxies ever discovered\, analyzed t
 he atmospheres of planets orbiting distant suns\, and studied some of 
 the largest stars in the universe. Dr. Stephanie LaMassa\, branch mana
 ger for the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) ab
 oard JWST\, will teach about the design\, launch\, and software mainte
 nance of JWST and NIRISS. Being in charge of the instrument\, Dr. LaMa
 ssa will provide unique insight into how instruments intended for spac
 eflight are designed\, and how students can get involved with instrume
 ntation work on the ground. In addition\, she will also talk about som
 e of the exciting uses for the space telescope\, including studies of 
 supermassive black holes and the earliest galaxies in the universe.
