Next Generation Space Telescopes: From Hubble to JWST and Euclid ~ Dr. Chris Pattison (Univ. of Portsmouth)

In this talk, I will discuss the capabilities of some of the best telescopes we have in space and show off some of the incredible images they have taken. Starting with Hubble, launched in 1990, I will talk about what this famous telescope has been through and some of the science it has done. Building on this, I will look at what the new generation of telescopes, launched more recently, what they can do differently, and why we spent billions to launch them. I will focus on JWST and Euclid here, and then look forward to future missions in the coming years and decades.
