    Seems the damage is very minor. Still hoping for some stunning images.

    The bright dot at about 9 o’clock is apparently a “side on “ view of a galaxy. They just zoomed in on it and well, amazing.

    This is really impressive stuff. By the time everything has been fully (I recognize that “fully” is a loose term here) analyzed, astrophysicists will have far too much information for them to know where to start! This is absolutely magnificent and thought provoking beyond belief. A bit early here but I think a drink is needed.

    And that really is the point. Whilst these headline images will capture the public imagination, the data behind these pictures will take a lifetime (and beyond) to analyse and fully understand.

    The James Webb Space Telescope has arrived.

    And dust from dying stars I think, it's all a bit mind blowing really.

    That's pretty much it, dust and gas, from which new stars will slowly form (and planets and, maybe just maybe, life).

    If you combine astronomy with cosmology, do you get astrology? :p

    The launch of the James Webb is fantastic news. Who knows how it will change thinking over the next couple of decades. I'm more astronomy and astrophotography. I'll forward one of my images to you to have a look at.

    I wonder if they'll find a right back?
