James Webb Space Telescope Update: Sunshield Deployment Test

Posted by

In August 2014, at their +Northrop Grumman facilities in Redondo Beach, California engineers successfully stacked and unfurled the five layers of the largest part of the observatory: the massive sunshield.

The successful unfurling was the first time this had been done and everything worked perfectly.

The Sunshield is about the length of a tennis court, and will be folded up like an umbrella around the Webb telescope’s mirrors and instruments during launch. Once it reaches its orbit, the Webb telescope will receive a command from Earth to unfold, and separate the Sunshield’s five layers into their precisely stacked arrangement with its kite-like shape.

Please join +Tony Darnell Dr +Alberto Conti and +Scott Lewis as they discuss the test conducted last Summer with engineers and scientists at Northrup Grumman and +NASA Goddard as well as the details of the deployment of the James Webb Space Telescope.

As always, we look forward to your questions and comments as well, see you then!

Nancy Kanwisher: A neural portrait of the human mind

Posted by

Brain imaging pioneer Nancy Kanwisher, who uses fMRI scans to see activity in brain regions (often her own), shares what she and her colleagues have learned: The brain is made up of both highly specialized components and general-purpose “machinery.” Another surprise: There’s so much left to learn.

Fight Club | #TBT Trailer | 20th Century FOX

Posted by

A ticking-time-bomb insomniac (Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground “fight clubs” forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of control spiral toward oblivion.
