James Webb Space Telescope begins historic mission

[sd455dan]

Should we keep this thread going?? I'd like to see it active.

Yes, but the News is like working in a diamond/coal mine. Some days are....

The wonders that Webb will show humans is just beginning.
Like the program operators said the life span is now twenty years instead of ten, since they did not have any needed course corrections.

There must be some good to come from all the technology involved and imagies ....but .....I can't grasp the significance of an infinity of psychodelic swirils and points of light....black holes...and such . I already knew (learned) that God is infinite....and as far as I know, so is His universe.

Cheers,
Mike

We visited an observatory in the Netherlands last year and they had wall sized images from the Webb telescope on display. They gave us quite a bit of time to look at the images but I wish I could have sat in a comfy chair, with a nice glass of port or scotch, and just LOOKED at the images for hours. The images are mind blowing. Seeing them taking up a wall is even more mind blowing.
