Processing Data From The James Webb Space Telescope • John Davies • GOTO 2023

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Amsterdam 2023. #GOTOcon #GOTOams John Davies - CTO & Co-founder at Velo Payments RESOURCES ABSTRACT Believe it or not, the data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is open source, it’s no different from the data astronomers capture from their back gardens, in structure anyway. Java author, architect and entrepreneur John Davies spends clear nights capturing images from the skies above London, and cloudy nights processing it. A deep dive into deep sky using one of the most expensive gadgets in our solar system.
