 ce Telescope Science Institute) will give a free\, illustrated\, non-techn
 ical lecture entitled:\n \n“Observing with the James Webb Space Telescope:
  Glimpsing the First Stars'\n---------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------\nThis virtual ta
 lk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series (through Foothil
 l College)\, now in its 25th year.\n\nThe James Webb Space Telescope (JWST
 ) was designed to look back in time\, to study the first generation of sta
 rs\, and reveal our cosmic origins. In what is only its second year of ope
 ration\, JWST has already brought us tantalizingly close to our dream of s
 eeing those first stars. Dr. Coe will tell us about observations of “Earen
 del\,” the most distant star known\, seen as it was 13 billion years ago. 
 And we will marvel at the beauty of even more distant star clusters\, incl
 uding the Arc of Cosmic Gems. These objects were some the most important d
 iscoveries from his Hubble observing program\, among them the galaxy clust
 er SMACS 0723 that became JWST's first stunning deep field. Soon the Eucli
 d and Roman telescopes will survey much more of the sky\, providing many m
 ore exciting targets for JWST to study in detail.\n \nDan Coe is an ESA/AU
 RA Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and Johns H
 opkins University in Baltimore. STScI is home to JWST mission control and 
 science operations\, where staff scientists like Dan support other astrono
 mers using Hubble and JWST. Dan has also led the Hubble RELICS and JWST Co
 smic Spring science teams in discovering and studying some of the most dis
 tant galaxies known in the early universe. Dan graduated from Cornell Univ
 ersity\, obtained his PhD from Johns Hopkins\, and did postdocs at NASA's 
 Jet Propulsion Laboratory and STScI before joining the STScI staff in 2013
 .\n\nThis presentation will be a Virtual Livestream event due to the remod
 eling of the Smithwick Theater at Foothill College.\n\nThe lecture is co-s
