JWST Outreach & Advocacy – You can helpJWST Outreach & Advocacy – You can help

Anyone and everyone can affect the support for JWST • We all have opportunities to interact with various audiences (General

Public, Science Community, Media, etc)

• We are all “the JWST expert” to those we interact with & have “inside” information

• We don’t need to be at a special event to express our enthusiasm for the project

What YOU can and should communicate• The truth – much negative feedback is based in misinformation

(Misinformation travels fast; negative rumors travel fastest)

• Our enthusiasm – when we share our excitement, it is contagious

JWST Fun FactsJWST Fun Facts JWST is approximately the size of a tennis court The sunshield provides an equivalent “SPF” of 1.2 million for the

telescope Each mirror segment is ground and polished so its figure error is

less than 20 nm across its surface. On a relative scale, if the mirror were to be enlarged to the size of the continental United States, this is equivalent to smoothing out its highest point, Mount Whitney at 14,500 ft, to a height of about 2 inches.

When taking an image, the Observatory has a pointing instability of less than 3.7 milliarc-seconds. This would be like painting a 5 ½ inch diameter circle on your friend’s helmet in New York City with a laser tag gun in Los Angeles.

The mirror and instruments operate at a temp under 50K (-370 deg F) There is nearly a 500 deg F temperature difference between the

bottom of the sunshield and the top Each Beryllium mirror segment starts out at a weight of 273 kg (600

lb). Precision machining removes 93% of the weight so the final segment weighs only 20 kg (44 lb).

James Edwin Webb was the second NASA Administrator, Feb 1961 – Oct 1968, and initiated the science program at NASA
