Hardin County Astronomy Club hosts viewing event for James Webb Space Telescope
The Hardin County Astronomy Club is hosting a "First Light" viewing event on Tuesday, July 12 to celebrate that day’s unveiling of the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The event begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Veterans Meeting Hall at the courthouse in Kenton, and all are welcome to attend.
The telescope was launched in December last year and spent 30-days traveling to its permanent observing location, approximately one million miles from Earth. NASA's Webb Telescope team has spent the past several months running tests and calibrating the telescope's instrumentation.
David Humphreys, President of the Hardin County Astronomy Club and official Webb Space Telescope community event host, will host the first images from the telescope as well as the live streamed NASA expert panel discussion.
