Written in the Stars

The James Webb Space Telescope, set to replace the Hubble in 2014, could change the way we look at the universe.

In this, the first episode of Universal Ideas, host Rob Thacker speaks with René Doyon, the principal engineer of the James Webb Space Telescope. Together they discuss why Doyon was destined to pursue a career in astronomy, his greatest successes, and why it's only a matter of time before we find another planet just like Earth.
