The Golden Touch: Behind the Webb

Posted by

The Webb Telescope’s mirrors are coated in an extremely thin film of gold. This gold layer, only a few millionths of an inch thick, enables the mirrors to best reflect the infrared light the telescope seeks. The thinner the layer, the better off the telescope will be — every bit of weight counts when a telescope as big as Webb is being lifted into space by a rocket. Join us at Quantum Coating in New Jersey, where engineers are vaporizing gold to apply a thin, even layer to the telescope’s mirrors.

“Behind the Webb” is an ongoing series that follows the construction of the Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor. Find more episodes at Hubblesite.org.

PLUS: you won’t want to miss finding out how to break up a dolphin marriage! Let’s just say, it’s a whole lot easier than a wild night at a cheap motel. Cries Russell, “I’m gonna have to phone up Sea World directly, I’ve been down one’s blowhole…!” You won’t want to miss this!

Graham Norton returns to BBC America, bringing his renowned comedy monologues, eccentric stories, and of course, today’s hottest stars for the eleventh season of the UK’s biggest talk show.
