This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.
Today I looked into the eye of a #telescope that will analyze habitable planets around other stars – and it looked back at me. #humbled pic.twitter.com/cKe2FzSoj0

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
That is an 8 Billion dollar selfie!
that’s actually pretty cool Keith.
And I think JWST will also look back at the past to the formation of the first stars/galaxies. Very glad you could be our eyes on the scene, Keith! Congratulations on being selected to see it.
Nice Job, is that a pic of the ITAR restricted secondary mirror backup structure! They’ve blurred that out in all other publications due to ITAR & proprietary concerns. Thanks!
Yeah, I was surprised you were allowed to take pictures there. At KSC we can’t take photos of the Orion capsule because they’re afraid the terrorists will build one like it and attack us with it.
They let people take pictures of it like this all the time.
Not true. The reasons for no Orion photos is that it is in Lockheed Martin area and they have their propriety rules. NASA can take all the photos it wants once LM turns the hardware over to NASA. JWST mirror is a NASA in-house build.
Yeah that is really cool, and pretty impressive for a cellphone zoom shot. Must be a good mirror 🙂
