Event Description

Bring the kids and join Cedar Amateur Astronomers as we continue to celebrate the James Webb Space Telescope. Doors open at 1 PM on Sunday, August 14, 2022. 

NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador Mark Brown will discuss Webb's first images from July, and any new images released since then. In this fascinating interactive discussion, Mark will give us an update on some of the science learned from these images and answer questions from the audience.

Then we will log into a live expert panel discussion straight from NASA. This is exclusive to host sites only, and guests are welcome to submit questions in advance or during the live chat.

We will have many kid activities throughout the day both inside and out (weather permitting). This is a great chance for kids of all ages to further their interest in astronomy, science, and the James Webb Space Telescope, and have loads of fun doing it!

Food and refreshments will be provided. Join the activities, visit the new Webb-related displays, walk around the grounds and chat with our members. All ages are welcome to this free event exploring Webb and the wonders of our universe.
