I have waited so long for this to be put into service. I can’t wait to see what it can do. I’m glad it’s finally almost ready

I hope we wake up to a good Christmas present! I'm so scared the rocket is going to fail... the way the world is going, it just would be the final shit show icing on the cake... sigh

I am hopeful though, if anyone can give humanity redemptions its the astronomical sciences. It's be that way for many decades now, the rally of Hope itself always centering around this stuff, and I think that is because deep down we truly are self-aware entities and astronomical observances enhance this state of existence.

+1 to both of you. It will be the Hubble on steroids.

Fun fact: some galaxies are so faint, that only one photon hits the detector at a time! Yup, there's literally nothing there to see in realtime so the picture has to be built up by having the telescope stare at it for long enough. That's some technical feat, I tell you. :cool:

To be fair, it will take several months for the JWT to get into it's orbital position and get fully deployed.

the Christmas present is implied as being the rocket not blowing up and it actually makes it it to where its flying to. and the way the world is going, honestly I won't be surprised if some Starlink satellite accidently hits it and was tracked wrong and it all ends cause of our basic hubris thinking we could put thousands of satellites into orbit, not to mention all the stuff that has been blown up in orbit, some things I am sure can't be tracked from those... sigh, humanity...

Several weeks.

Keeping my fingers crossed for full successful deployment in these 14 days!

The following is why I stated several months.

James Webb Space Telescope Post-Launch Deployment Timeline

webbtelescope.org webbtelescope.org
The timeframe, if everything goes well, will be June 2022 before the deployment phase is complete and the science mission begins. The JWT is not your everyday satellite launch. Start to finish is a very involved process and every step has to be done in careful order.

After decades of planning, engineering, many delays, and some controversy, it’s finally happening: The James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch at 7:20 am Eastern on Saturday, December 25, making it a long-awaited Christmas present for scientists around the world. (Though further delays are possible. Earlier this week, NASA was eyeing a Christmas Eve launch but changed plans due to bad weather.)

After the telescope launches from French Guiana to a point nearly a million miles away from Earth, it will become the largest telescope in space, capable of showing humanity regions of space (and time) never seen before.

NASA, which is launching the telescope in collaboration with the European Space Agency and Canada, will broadcast the launch live, with a feed scheduled to start at 6 am Eastern. You can stream it below.

Does humanity deserve to know more?

It is inevitable, sooner or later, there has always been some progress.

The question should rather be - do we want to travel physically to other worlds? Maybe there are better planets somewhere out there.

I think those that truly understand physics know this is an impossible task, but you can keep dreaming as the only habitable world you have keeps burning, I suppose.

I'm both excited by the potential opportunities the JWST offers and terrified at everything that needs to go right to realize those opportunities.
I'm eager for the team to turn over a fully operational telescope for science observations.
Merry Christmas to all!
