    They expected a hit on a monthly basis apparently, they've been able to re align the panel so it should be able to function as planned

    Lets hope so because it is a fantastic telescope. Early reports were that it was unrepairable but later ones saying it may be able to be readjusted

    This impact, on the C3 mirror, happened back in May, so they have been able to make the necessary corrections and the telescope is still exceeding expectations.

    The real issue is whether or not this was a freak occurrence or are there likely to be further strikes by meteoroids of this size, which could impact on the future performance of the James Webb.

    The Cartwheel galaxy is a pretty neat shot too.

    Would you believe it's the Great Red Spot (white because it is reflecting sunlight).

    I'd believe anything you said mate, unless we blow ourselves to Kingdom Come the next 25/50 years will be interesting with regards the Universe.

    The above is difficult to even try and imagine.
    At 74 years old I've seen and been part of some great things during my time, massive change in popular music, fashion, the pill and many other things but what this telescope can pick up and ping back to earth will put what we experienced into the shade.
