This week, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the size of a massive comet at the edge of our solar system, NASA Artemis  teams continued testing for launch to the Moon, and our NASA's James Webb Space Telescope got even cooler. Get even more NASA news at nasa.gov

Here's hoping that massive comet at the edge of our solar system doesn't have our name on it!

Cool comparison of photos of the Magellanic Cloud taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Webb.

The difference in clarity and detail is astounding.

The odd thing to keep in mind is that Webb is looking back in time.

A long, long time ago.

This could turn out to be one of the greatest inventions ever.

Technically everything is looking back in time.  Even staring at your computer screen qualifies.  It’s just a matter of how far and how clearly.  
 

I think the scientific community will get a lot out of this and there will be some cool pictures for the general public.  The actual impact on the general public will be nominal if anything.

Floating around Uranus? 

 

Actually, he disappeared end of July 1975.  Mid-August that same year, NASA launched the Voyager 1 to Mars.  Maybe there was some extra cargo on the rocket?
