Just who are all these brilliant people who design, engineer etc etc these modern telescopes. They are building the dreams of astrologists of the last few thousand years. For a simple pleb, I'm in awe.

Just sublime. The first image in 1995 then 2014, now this! As a kid first seeing the Eagle nebula image & realising the magnificence of space, well the Webb is making me estatic all over again. All the teams/people behind this should be so proud!

Most are tired of the morality police & would like to be free from the fear they install. This protest will be quelled brutally and soon. The RG will make sure of that. Yet the protests are showing that there's a simmering discontent and there will be a major shift one day, that's good! To get rid of the Supreme Leader is the goal for many, his archaic beliefs do the damage. The protests are impressive and they've got guts!

Catastrophic? Yeh I would 100% agree with that. Amazing as in technology can precisely register it & observe.

True, as they already ignore it.

That's the ones I'm thinking of. The Siberian craters & methane explosions due to permafrost melting would be amazing to monitor.

Let them try, hopefully NASA has sunk a lot of money into this and doesn't bend over to geopolitics. Well I hope anyway.

Nice. The upgrades on this technology is helpful. To be able to pinpoint with more accuracy main offenders (not that it will make a difference to some) but to also monitor naturally occurring methane. As surface changes like permafrost melting, bogs, natural habit destruction, hopefully it can map out & collect that data too. What a useful system.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is that you? But yes, thank you for the correction.
