The James Webb was sitting at my husband’s work for a while before launch (like, a couple of years); we’re really attached to the whole thing. They did a lot of cool tours and stuff, and my son was able to go see it several times while it was here.

Every time a system came online, it was like a little mini-holiday at my house. When the first calibration image came back, it was like Christmas morning.

The magnitude of engineering and elbow-grease that has gone into getting us these images is tear-jerking.

Found a gif on Reddit that explains where the subject of one of the more impressive JWST shots actually is:

One of the things I love about our last series of scopes is that we’ve been all: Ok we think it’ll be this good, which is awesome and then the telescope is all…

Hold my drink.
