Hi there! I’m Tessa, a scientist who recently submitted a proposal to the James Webb team. I’ll be popping up throughout the mission with helpful tips and advice.

Watch the video to get background information on key concepts you will use throughout the mission. Please watch the video in its entirety. This will not cause you to fall behind your other team members.
Please complete the following checkpoint about the habitable zone based on the video.

Oh! By the way, during the mission, you will receive requests for information from your team members. If you have already calculated the piece of information they are looking for, share it with your teammate in the chat. If you are not ready yet, send the following message in the chat.

"Request received. Information not yet available."

Then, send the information in the chat as soon as it is available.

Great job! Now that you have done some research on the habitable zone, it is time to apply that knowledge and figure out some key details about your exoplanet’s host star. Follow the next steps carefully and be prepared to share your findings with your team.
