  1. JWST:Planets to Cosmology Mario LivioSpace Telescope Science Institute

  2. Hardware progressing:Mirror in final stages of testing

  3. The James Webb Space Telescope Hardware progressing: Sunshield full-scale membrane The JWST sunshield - full scale membrane Log scale: 2.0” x 2.0” Linear scale: 2.0” x 2.0”

  4. JWST will see the very first galaxies Hubble UDF Simulated JWST

  5. Razor sharp vision of early universe 1’x1’ region in the UDF – 3.5 to 5.8 μm Implications for: Pop III star clusters?, reionization, cosmic star formation history, structure formation, galaxy evolution Spitzer, 90,000s per band(GOODS collaboration) JWST, 1000s per band(simulated)

  6. The James Webb Space Telescope Extrasolar planets:habitable zone JWST will see planets around other stars

  7. Spectrum of a knownlife-bearing planet

  8. JWST: spectroscopy and photometry of transiting exoplanets Temperature-pressure profiles, molecular species, moons

  9. Discovery of: Water Worlds, necessary ingredients for life
