Simulated Telescope Images

The future of Space Telescope observations

New generation facilities like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope are going to revolutionize our understanding of the early Universe. In collaboration with Nicole Drakos and other members of the Astronomy Dept. at UCSC, we have made realistic simulated images of the future cutting-edge observations from these telescopes.
