From what I remember Dr Becky will be one of the "boffins" talking to Chris., he was her PhD supervisor I think.

I'd watch it just for her.

No Pete L, then

[DaveS]

And no Dr Becky either.

Well she was in the audience at the start of the program when the pictures were first revealed.

Oh yes, I saw her there, but was hoping that Chris would be talking to her. What she would have to say about the Stephan's Quintet image with the active black hole would have been far more interesting than an IR picture of Jupiter.

I really enjoyed that. I loved the way they captured the very real excitement among the professional community regarding the new science that JSWT is enabling.  I don't think that we yet appreciate how significant an instrument this telescope will prove to be.

I don't watch the show since SPM passed, but I did set the DVR, to remind me. I forgot about it because I was otherwise occupied. It sounded interesting considering how new the JWT is. 

JWT used to be a travel company here in Ireland.

Ironic.

Except it's the JWST so not ironic at all
