Was looking at latest Webb Telescope image, and that reminded me of the whole graphic image set up..

they gave us when it launched, traveled near to the L _ point. The visual path, where it was, how far traveled, how many miles to go, speed of trave, how it would deploy once it arrived etc

While a bit frustrating for how long it took at least to me - exciting, too!

I am friends with a person who consulted for NASA for the duration. Can you imagine how he felt?

OMG falls far short.

And as for graphic images, I note with some chuckles that almost all the space gizmo images you see are "Artist's Conceptions"

My Dad was an artist

I'm a mere photographer, but the photographer gets there first!



That's not myself on the ladder.

Jokes aside, Webb is OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing.
