THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING – 60 MINUTES’ Scott Pelley explores images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s most powerful space telescope. Speaking with astrophysicists and astronomers, Pelley reports on the telescope’s discoveries of distant galaxies, including one that’s over 33 billion light years away, and an observation that, if confirmed, could upend the belief on how the universe formed and more. Pelley visited Webb in 2021 before its historic launch into orbit, 25 years in the making. Aaron Weisz is the producer.

SPORTSWASHING – In the days of the Roman Coliseum they called it “bread and circuses” – leaders using entertainment to distract citizens from genuine problems. Today, Saudi Arabia is accused of using the same tactic with a different name: “sportswashing.” Is the Kingdom diversifying its economy, as they insist, or covering up human rights abuses and political repression? Correspondent Jon Wertheim traveled to Saudi Arabia to find out. Michael Gavshon is the producer.
