Launched on a mission to peer deeper into the universe than ever before, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing how we see the cosmos. In this episode, we explore how this marvel of modern engineering works, what it’s already discovered, and why its infrared vision is a game-changer for astronomy.
From peeking into the earliest galaxies to analyzing the atmospheres of distant exoplanets, JWST is not just a telescope — it’s a time machine, a detective, and a dream realized.
Join me as we uncover the technology behind it, the challenges it overcame, and the stunning images that are already shifting our understanding of space.
And stick around until the end, where I reveal next week’s illuminating episode — one where lightning never sleeps…

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
