With the James Webb Space Telescope getting ready to begin science operations this summer, the researchers who will be using Webb are preparing for their science campaigns as well. Included in the objects Webb will be studying, as well as distant galaxies and far-off stars, are targets right here in our own solar system, as Heidi Hammel, Webb interdisciplinary scientist for solar system observations, explained in a recent NASA blog post.
Given how powerful the Webb telescope is, it may seem surprising that it is being used to look relatively close to home, in our cosmic backyard. But by observing targets in the solar system, researchers can test the limits of Webb’s capabilities, such as its ability to detect faint light sources which are close to bright light sources .
