2025 Christmas Lecturer Maggie Aderin-Pocock returns to the Ri to explain what the James Webb Space Telescope's latest findings can tell us about the early universe.
Can the James Webb Space Telescope really see the past? 2025 Christmas Lecturer Maggie Aderin-Pocock takes us on a journey back in time to explore the creation and formation of our Solar System, galaxies and other exoplanetary systems in the Universe.
Beginning in our own galaxy, Maggie will showcase the James Webb Space Telescope's cinematic images as route markers towards this cosmic dawn, revealing the mesmerising pictures' secrets and explaining some of cosmology's greatest mysteries, from the shape of the Universe to the nature of dark matter.
Maggie will demystify the pictures from deep space and explain the essential science behind each discovery.
Copies of Maggie's book "James Webb’s Ancient Cosmos" will be available to purchase after the talk.
