STP68 - The James Webb Space Telescope - with Mack McCaughrean of ESA

<p>With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope scheduled to take place on 22nd December, we wanted to take an in depth look at what it is, so we reached out to the European Space Agency (ESA) and they put us in contact with Mark McCaughrean who is an interdisciplinary scientist for this mission.</p><br><p>Mark McCaughrean:</p><p><a href="https://markmccaughrean.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://markmccaughrean.net/</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/markmccaughrean" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/markmccaughrean</a></p><br><p>Full show notes can be found at: <a href="https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.com </a></p><p>Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.</p><br><p>Image Credits: ESA</p><br><p>Space and Things:</p><p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1</a></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcast</a></p><p>Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/</a></p><br><p>Merch and Info:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.com</a></p><p>Patreon:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.patreon.com/Spaceandthings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/Spaceandthings</a></p><br><p>Business Enquiries:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@andthingsproductions.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@andthingsproductions.com</a></p><br><p>Space and Things is brought to you And Things Productions&nbsp;<a href="https://www.andthingsproductions.com/" rel
