Following the successful insertion of the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit just minutes ago, NASA administrator Bill Nelson cited Psalms 19:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Merry Christmas, faithful readers!
Yup. Way cool! A great Christmas present for all physics and space nerds out there (myself included).
A great Christmas present for all seekers of truth. May the JWST be a complete success and help us understand the works of God!
I had an imaginary friend once too! (I think I was five.. : )
Happy Christmas, to you too, Peter!
And I can’t wait for the first images to trickle in from the new telescope. I hear that it’s supposed to far surpass the quality of image from Hubble — and its imagery was awe-inspiring.
Ah humanity! – to do Space so well but Earth so poorly. I’m thinking NASA should run the country.
Science. It’s just like magic or miracles, but real. (From a sticker my daughter put on everyone’s gift this year). Also, applies to technology.
