And who the F is James Webb anyway?

NASA Administrator from 1961-1968 who apparently didn't like homos.

Which is why the left cried when they named a telescope after him.

James Webb ran NASA during Mercury and Gemini - the early days of the space program.

...about 7.5 billion light-years from Earth.

Can that thing be turned around and used to detect chicom balloons?

Lol. Have we been burned to death by the sun’s radiation? No? Then the core is still spinning.

It certainly has a big stuttering and/or hiccup problem.

Apparently yet paradoxically, editors were asking for too much.

Don't they have editors at msn.com?
The same three paragraphs are repeated eight times.
The authors must be getting paid by the word.

Aren’t there some additional taxes we can pay, or some random reductions in standard of living we can subject ourselves to that will stop this runaway black hole? #settledscience

Traveling nearly 1% speed-of-light. Not bad.

Hold the asteroid, Lord, let's have a black hole instead.

Nice citation, PIF, and Haldane paraphrased Shakespeare a little as well.
