NASAs James Webb telescope successfully launched and deployed into space

[Turingsage]

Next 3 days are huge with sun shield deployment and tensioning

Yes, this is the next nail biting major event after the launch.
Hopefully catered enough for all eventualities.
300 degree difference between the 2 sides of the sun shield and absolutely critical in keeping the instruments cool.

The engineering for the sun shield is insane

Thumbs up for NASA. This will bring lots of information of cosmos for humanity. Cheers.

Space exploration always took the top position in my curiosity list, second is the exploration of the Oceans.

Starboard side successfully deployed! Now two days of tensioning the 5 layers.

Wow - the sheild deployment is the most risky part as there is a risk that they will tear apart as they did in a test - fingers crossed this goes ok !!!

I wish they had put a cube sat type camera so that this process could have been viewed. It would have been awesome and much better than this blind approach ! Chinese just released pics of their mars orbiter from a cube sat!

Dr.Shahid Masood is wrong on just every other thing. He dramatize, sensationalize everything. Why even people watch or listen to him.

You can never see the past happenings done here on earth, as the light emitted from those events has already gone into space much earlier, You cannot catch the speed of light which is going away from you. You can only catch the light which is incoming. For instance, if we see a star at a distance of a million light years that means we are seeing the star as it looked like a million years ago. We are not seeing the runtime / live objects.. We are seeing very distant objects, light from which have taken a long period to reach till earth.

Dear, usually I don't but some time to check the political status of the country I used to randomly scan through some channels of 'experts' analysts. You are right, now a days he used a few sentences on political scenarios and later takes you to the different corners of the world. There I heard his statement of James Webb telescope and seems like a 'fairy tale' but also raised the curiosity that, is it true? Could it happen?
Anyhow thanks for the brief explanation you shared to clear the concept.

True that ! Six months wait before we finally start getting some quality images

USA is aiming for fantastical achievements and is sharing with everyone else. China is not the same yet.

China shared in another way that you failed to realize. consider this: if it isnt for China you would still be paying $799 for a basic microwave oven.

Well people across the world can applaud China for cheap labor....and if it wasn't for the US you wouldn't even have a microwave oven right now. Just one item in a huge list that families around the world take for granted in their daily lives.

Who Invented the Microwave Oven?

The discovery that microwave energy could cook food was a happy accident involving melted chocolate.

www.livescience.com

Invented by an American...what a shocker...

1970's Amana commercial. Amana was the first consumer company to make portable tabletop microwaves.

Hubble ultra-deep space images still fascinate me to the core. Imagine we getting clear images of exoplanets along with their moons with Webb, Plus clear images of far-flung galaxies never seen before. My love for my CREATOR has become deeper. This is just the beginning!
