Jason Steffen, UNLV professor of physics and astronomy
UNLV professor of physics and astronomy Jason Steffen is available to talk about the significance of the James Webb Space Telescope's imagery, and how it broadens our understanding of the universe.
Social media is buzzing about several full-color images of our universal neighborhood, making cosmic history (and increasing interest in the sciences)!
Steffen — a former NASA scientist who worked on the agency's Kepler mission — can chat with journalists about how the telescope is changing our understanding of science and the evolution of our world as we know it.
Some of the light being cast off from these celestial bodies have taken more than 13-billion years to reach us--nearing the dawn of existence.
The 'cosmic cliffs' of the Carina Nebula give us a look at where stars are born. Some of which are unimaginably larger than our sun.
NASA Webb Telescope was launched on December 25, 2021.
Steffen has been following the James Webb Telescope mission for years, and you're welcome to pull info and quotes from a university article on UNLV's News Center. "You can tell that there's objects there because you see the outlines, but you don't know exactly what those objects are until you remove the tablecloth or look through it," Steffen said.
Media interested in interviewing Prof. Steffen should contact Johnny Domol, UNLV Media Relations, at [email protected].
