Space Telescopes - Episode 301

We are all probably familiar with telescopes. You set them up in your house and creep on your neighbors with them, right?

We discuss the different types of space telescopes (such as gamma ray, x-ray, infrared, and more), what they are used for, the history of sending telescopes to space, as well as some of the most famous space telescopes ever (including Hubble, Fermi, LISA, Chandra, Kepler, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)).
