The launch in late December 2021 was one of the most-awaited launches of the year, watched by millions of people all over the world including citizen astronomers with their Unistellar telescopes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only did these Unistellar network members watch JWST lift off, but they followed the telescope\u2019s journey to outer space and gathered data along the way.

As part of a citizen science campaign to track the telescope, Citizen Astronomers around the world <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unistellar.com\/blog\/citizen-astronomers-followed-jwst-from-backyards\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">watched the JWST<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from their backyards, capturing key moments of its journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In total, Unistellar Citizen Astronomers observed the JWST 145 times over the course of three months, with the final observations taken while JWST was aligning its mirrors. The campaign aimed to track the space telescope\u2019s trajectory as it traveled and report it to the Minor Planet Center, as well as report on changes in brightness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The space telescope reached its destination in late January 2022, where it began unfurling its 6.5-meter-wide mirror and testing out the instruments that have taken stunning images and even observed exoplanets. In fact, Unistellar Network members made their own observations of one of JWST\u2019s planetary targets, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seti.org\/all-citizen-scientist-team-saves-jwsts-time-observing-infamous-roasted-planet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HD 80606 b,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a.k.a. the \u201cRoasted Planet,\u201d which returned valuable information on its orbit that will help guide JWST astronomers as they conduct observations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>JWST Scientific Paper Published<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of Unistellar members\u2019 observing campaign were presented in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2207.04337\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a scientific study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> published in August 2022. The study provides comprehensive light curve data on JWST as it traveled from Earth to its final destination and includes 49 Unistellar Network members as coauthors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dataset captures important moments like the jettisoning of rocket boosters and unfurling of the sunshield, as well as additional peaks in brightness that could come from slight changes in orientation as the primary mirror deployed. It\u2019s the only dataset containing this kind of information, which will provide a valuable record for future study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the James Webb Space Telescope is now the farthest man-made object to be observed by the Unistellar Network. Ten years ago, such an object would not have been observable with telescopes the size of the Unistellar eVscope and eQuinox, but advancements in technology have broadened the horizons of the possible, paving the way for record-breaking observations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.unistellar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/jwst_timeline.gif&#8221; title_text=&#8221;jwst_timeline&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#B3B3B3&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-11px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A timeline showing Unistellar Citizen Astronomer observations of JWST from launch to the orientation of its mirrors.
