CLARKSVILLE, TN – When Austin Peay State University’s Science on Tap returns to Strawberry Alley Ale Works on Sept. 6, Dr. Spencer Buckner will talk about the James Webb Space Telescope’s first few months of observations.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest telescope of any kind launched into space, and Buckner’s presentation will explore the telescope’s funding, construction, launch and operation. He’ll also share a comparison between the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope.
The presentation – titled “Opening Up a New Universe with the James Webb Space Telescope” – will start at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 6, at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley.
Buckner is an associate professor in the Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy at Austin Peay.
Science on Tap meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month during the academic year, bringing together two great things: science and local brews.
Science on Tap is hosted by Austin Peay’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
