Excited, I wandered around the campus during a parent's event looking for my favorite part of high school: the shop classes. Mostly, I wanted to see what toys they had in the wood shop, as that's my forte, but I thought it would be cool to see if they still had 'Auto-Shop' and 'Machine Shop' classes that my friends enjoyed. Nope. The school's 'Shop' area had CAD boxes, CNC machines, Additive Manufacturing stations and 'Robot Lab'. (what, am I old, or something???) How JWST's first science images will blow us all away - Big Think This is a pretty decent 'anticipatory' piece. Best we can do: the Webb team is not going to let anything slip before the 12th it seems Quote First Images from the James Webb Space Telescope NASA, in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will release the James Webb Space Telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data during a televised broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC) on Tuesday, July 12, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Released one by one, these first images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope will demonstrate Webb at its full power, ready to begin its mission to unfold the infrared universe. Each image will simultaneously be made available on social media as well as on the agency’s website on this page. Embargoed access to Webb’s first images will not be available prior to their public release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hunt exoplanets. Quoting NASA's website: "One of the main uses of the James Webb Space Telescope will be to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, to search for the building blocks of life elsewhere in the universe."

That may not be the case https://www.universetoday.com/152104/good-news-red-dwarfs-blast-their-superflares-out-the-poles-sparing-their-planets-from-destruction/ There's also several observation missions scheduled on JWST searching for atmospheres on red dwarf worlds, including several dedicated to TRAPPIST. And in cycle 1 GO, there's specifically one aimed at determining how common atmospheres are around their planets. "Tell Me How I’m Supposed To Breathe With No Air: Measuring the Prevalence and Diversity of M-Dwarf Planet Atmosphere." So JWST could be poised to show how potentially 'life friendly' red dwarves really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubinator Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I assume the image will show up on the NASA link tonight?
