Telescopes are time machines. Rigby will describe how astronomers can use cosmic telescopes—and, especially, the new James Webb Space Telescope, which is the most powerful infrared telescope ever built. She will provide a first-hand account of the extraordinary breadth and the depth of the Webb science program, along with a few human stories about how the Webb got working—and celebrate the people who made this landmark event a reality.
