Webb Telescope

[Syskatine]

Am I the only one that's floored at what this thing will do, and how they're making it work? Park it a million miles in outer space and it'll see an insane depth into the unknown universe. Just SMH at the capabilities of this thing.

Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb

During Webb's launch, deployment and commissioning, 'WhereIsWebb' tracked Webb's 'flight' to L2 orbit, its state and progress during its deployment and commissioning process, and finally the release of its first images. This process is now complete. During this process, the page constantly...

It’s been a minute but I remember some mirror issues as well.
