HAYWARD, CA – JULY 13: Chabot College astronomy professor Scott Hildreth, right, hosts a science discussion panel about or NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in the school’s planetarium on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, in Hayward, Calif. “I’m so interested in astronomy, and I want to see more like that, and I want to be part of hopefully in the future of technology, equipment and a team force that can really find out more about everything,” she said.
“NASA in my history never has intentionally gone out as well as they have this time to say ‘We want to be inclusive,’ ” Hildreth said. “There’s a neat tagline they’re using: ‘This is your telescope.’ That’s really neat because what they want is folks all around the world and all over the country and all of them in our community to feel that it is indeed their telescope,” Hildreth said, adding that the inclusivity at the center of the event will benefit NASA and everyone in tackling the challenges of making the next space telescope.
