James Webb Space Telescope - the Story Unfolds: The Arthur Planetarium is one of two planetariums in the country to serve as a beta test site for a year-long planetarium show progression telling the story of the James Webb telescope and sharing with the public never before seen footage and information sent from the telescope. Updated each month by the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, this show will mesmerize viewers with the latest information coming from James Webb.
