AMAZING  OPPORTUNITY  FOR OUR \nCOMMUNITY TO LEARN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 ABOUT  THE JAMES D. WEBB INFRA-RED SPACE TELESCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     <\/strong>The San Juan Stargazers are so pleased to have Bob Mitchel as a guest speaker on Thursday, August 16, at 5PM at the Ruby Sission Library.  He has been working on the James D. Webb Infra-Red Space Telescope for at least a decade.  He spoke to our club and community members in 2013.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We know what the Hubble Space Telescope did\nfor our knowledge of the Universe.  A\nlibrary could be filled with the amazing photos and information we have\nlearned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan is that the Webb\nwill be even better.  And it will answer\nmany of the most important questions that humans can ask, such as, how did the\nUniverse begin? Are we alone in the Universe?   How common is Life?   How common is Intelligent Life?  Can we possibly make contact?  This telescope will be so powerful that it\nwill be able to see the atmospheres of  exo-planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Making the Webb Telescope is a wonder in\n& of itself.  It will not orbit the Earth\nlike the Hubble does and if mistakes are made, astronauts cannot go to fix\nit.  It will orbit the sun, a million\nmiles away from us, so the builders CANNOT repair a mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

       It\nwill be huge and cannot be launched into space ready to use.  Every part is folded & collapsed and must\nbe able to unfold and fit together with commands from 1,000,000 miles\naway.  Most of the telescope is totally\nNEW in design.  Nothing like this has\never been built before.  So, designs are\nnew and have never been tested in space and there can be NO MISTAKES.  And we think that we have stress!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

       I have started to make my list of\nquestions for Bob.  And when I don\u2019t feel\nlike daily walking, I remind myself that in addition to wanting to see the next\nLunar Standstill, I want to be here to learn what this incredible telescope can\nshow us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        I encourage EVERYONE, including interested students<\/strong>, to come and be amazed and\ninspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       A few notes=we want to make sure\nthat working people will be able to attend. A 5PM time may make that difficult,\nso we will save a few chairs close to the door for late comers to quietly join\nus.  =We want to celebrate Bob\u2019s work and\nthis amazing Telescope, so people are invited to join us for a dinner\ncelebration after his presentation. The restaurant location will be announced that\nnight and there will be a wide price range of food available so everyone should\nbe able to join us. =the Stargazers will hold their regular monthly meeting on\nThursday, August 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
