Available space podcast: A look into NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope with astronomer and star expert Danny Milisavljevic

A 45-minute podcast features him talking about the science, the research and the wonder that peering back billions of years and across unthinkable light-years brings. Milisavljevic’s “This Is Purdue” podcast episode is here and available for media to post, share or include in their content.

“This was a transformational moment in the history of human civilization,” Milisavljevic said. “We’re so familiar with our naked eye looking up at the stars at night … but now with James Webb (Space Telescope) using infrared light, we’re seeing … billions of galaxies everywhere.” 

Milisavljevic’s love of space dates back to his days as a crayon-wielding kid writing up an elementary school report on the solar system. Combined with his research in school library encyclopedias, the illustrations he created gave him a sense of being able to touch and understand these far-off planets.
