The JWST















This next post is not quite as heavy as the last one: more of a housekeeping thing really. Of those of you who voted, two of you got the correct answer. It was the James-Webb Space Telescope. The picture was of the thermal shielding designed to keep sun off the optics and radiate heat away from the (nearly) absolute zero imaging core.

To learn more about the JWST and its systems and mission, visit JWST/NASA.

The new image is up, again, a nerdy theme. Take a vote if you know what it is. Good hunting.
