#JWST is in focus, Almost every dot seen in the alignment image is a distant galaxy. We will see these fields of galaxies almost anywhere we point the telescope.

I don't post much astrophotography since I mostly do visual and sketching now, but this image of the horsehead and flame nebulae from back in Jan. 2016 is still one of my favorite images. I don't remember the details, but it was a modded 350D on an Omni XLT 150.

#singleuseplastic #McDonalds Why has my local McDonald's in Florida started serving drinks in PLASTIC? As if their continued use of plastic straws wasn't bad enough. Shame on you McDonald's. #BoycottMcDonalds

The telescope was nestled all snug in its fairing, awaiting a mission that would simply be daring

UPDATE: @NASAWebb is now targeted to launch no earlier than Dec. 22 to allow additional testing after a sudden, unplanned release of a clamp that secures the spacecraft to its rocket adapter sent vibrations throughout the observatory: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/11/…

Someone please look at this graph and tell me when the "right time" is to make regulations for satellites in space is? Asking for a certain species that lives on a certain planet. cc: @sethajacobson

Another issue with the naming of @NASAWebb is the central involvement of @esa in the instrumentation, science, and launch. Our colleagues and collaborators in Europe are entrusting @nasa to make a careful consideration here, and we're blowing it.

The @esa press kit for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope is full of rich detail and graphics. Fingers crossed this is actually how the mission goes! esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/s…

What if instead of an elevator we just were able to get a little room on cables that could go up and down between floors?
