Space telescope hit by 'unavoidable chance event'

NASA says it's still performing above expectations after micrometeoroid strike

We’ll have to send @JamesW back out there with a microfiber cloth and some ArmorAll to polish it up …

They clipped his wings after the potato chip incident of '94. Been on desk duty since. They buried him deep down in sector 7-G.

I just received an email saying the first images will be released next Tuesday, July 12th.

 

[JamesW]

July 12th 10:30 am.

First pictures will be released.

I already got a sneak peek since the telescope is named after me.

 

[JamesW]

Here is one of the pictures that will be released.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date.

Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

Looking forward to seeing more tomorrow.

It's amazing to see all of the gravitational lensing due to dark matter.

The farthest galaxy in the picture is over 1,000 miles away!!!

You must be kidding. Next, you'll be telling us that JWST will show us pictures of a round earth. All this scientific nonsense...

That is pretty cool. But are you sure it wasn't the guy in JWST's first picture who bent the light?

Do you think we fly like a Frisbee, or like General Zod in the phantom zone prison ?

Both very solid theories. But I'm tending towards General Zod. I guess we'll have to wait for the next lot of JWST's pictures to settle this dispute.

The only thing flat earthers fear is sphere itself !!!!!!

That one might only make sense to Aussies - but I'm sure our friends from the US can relate to that:

Scientists hopeful James Webb telescope can provide clues about what the Heck happened to CovidSafe app

I find it amusing that the JWST was made to look at the furthest things in the universe like galaxies that are more than 13 billion light years away and some Bozo astronomer uses their time on the telescope to look at Jupiter, which we can see with our eyes.

He was sure the little green men would leave vapor trails in the infrared spectrum …

You guys all know that international law states that you must look at your house first. Just. Due to privacy concerns they released the pics of the second look at Jupiter.

Which is where the assistant looker tech guy supposedly went to get more stupider, and head looker tech guy was tying to prove it.
