NASA investigating glitch on James Webb Space Telescope's ultracold camera

That could turn into a very expensive glitch.

So? Take an umbrella.

Has anybody seen the telescope's photo of Neptune and it's ring's?

 

[Shaboid]

Bizarre rings spied by James Webb Space Telescope are organic dust propelled by starlight

Over a century of dust production. Interesting. Today I learned what a Wolf-Rayat star was.

NASA’s Webb Finds Carbon Source on Surface of Jupiter’s Moon Europa

In just a few minutes of looking, they did some serious science. Makes the Europa Clipper mission a lot more interesting.

That just looks like an owl spinning.

That just looks like an owl spinning.

I resent that.

I resent that.

Spinning beautifully while looking intelligent?

And so many people actually look to those clowns for "news".........only in America.....

No doubt she issued a correction and apology .... Yeah, when pigs fly.

 

[julius]

One would assume that a person who works for a "news" station would be more up to date on stuff. Although I suspect this the same thing as the "you" pun bit she did, as it's with the same guy. Trying to be funny, but not realizing neither one of them is actually funny. We used to have a poster on here who was a lot like that.

Har har har, they're so clever.

 

[Phatguysrule]

No doubt she issued a correction and apology .... Yeah, when pigs fly.

That would be admitting to weakness...

 

[Shaboid]

What an embarrassment.

This wasn't Webb, but still a pretty cool cosmic image..

Oh, crap, they were supposed to wait to take pictures until after I'd finished dusting off the lens.
