James Web Space Telescope returns first images 😀

Post by JI_Joe84 »

So the first test images are in. Seems the mirrors are a little more off than they thought the rocket would jostle them around but not to worry as the mirrors have motors to aline them remotely. 😉
Soon we will have dedicated infrared space telescope images to fawn over boys! Soon very soon!

Oh that is beautiful.

(Yes I know I'm quoting Krennic over Jedha, but the point stands)
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."

Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.
