Beyond the Telescope: Observing the Universe’s Cosmic Dawn with JWST

Join astrophysicist and MIT professor Dr. Christina Eilers on an expedition to the most distant regions of our universe featuring real data from the revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope, and the cutting-edge technology and immersive data visualization systems of the Planetarium.

In the last four years, JWST has helped us explore some of the brightest and most distant objects in the universe – quasars. Observing these extremely active supermassive black holes and the galaxies that surround them can help us piece together how these cosmic monsters form in the first place, and their role in shaping entire galactic ecosystems.

Whether you’re a space enthusiast, science lover, or simply curious about the unknown, this groundbreaking program blends science, technology, and creativity to illuminate our knowledge of the cosmos.

Reception with light refreshments and cash bar will open following the program.  

This event is free, thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
