The event begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Veterans Meeting Hall at the courthouse in Kenton, and all are welcome to attend.

The telescope was launched in December last year and spent 30-days traveling to its permanent observing location, approximately one million miles from Earth. NASA's Webb Telescope team has spent the past several months running tests and calibrating the telescope's instrumentation.
