“We’re one step closer to uncovering the mysteries..

I can show you a way that is already written.
Look in the Bible at the first book Genesis.
Its all there.

They can go look/see, but “...in their wisdom, they became as fools...”

>>>We’re one step closer to uncovering the mysteries of the Universe<<<

Dang, I read the first verse of the Authorized King James Bible and learned the mystery of the universe, and it didn’t cost me a dime!

“In the beginning, God . . .”

As long as atheists can atheist, they can pretend that they will not one day stand before a Judge. That is all that evolution is about . . . pretending that whats coming ain’t really whats coming. As long as there isn’t a God they don’t have to worry about meeting God . . . for now.

So the Bible tells us about physics? Didn’t think so. Ever think God wants us to discover and not just sit here?

(NASA) - The James Webb Space Telescope has fired its thrusters and reached its orbital destination around a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from our planet, NASA said Monday, a key milestone on its mission to develop a “next-generation” version of it’s popular Tang drink powder.

I see from this it appears in orbit around the sun, located 1 million miles further out than earth’s orbit. One could say on the dark side of the earth, shaded by earth all the time ??

4 times as far then the earth’s moon is.

Is this a correct assessment ?

Can’t always be totally in shade of earth as it needs sun to power from. So maybe off by one degree. Earth needs alot of power for data as to overcome noise from the sun mixed in with it.

Correct.

It’s ‘isolated’ from Earth’s noise as well.................

NASA will need multiple earth stations to ‘talk’ to it as none are able to ‘see’ it more than like ten hours a day.

They already have that. It’s called Deep Space Network. My son “drives” an array of satellites and works with Deep Space Network in Australia frequently.

I hope they checked with the asteroid folks so orbits don’t cross. Poof!

And now, the Trojan software will execute and turn control over to Communist China.

“in order to reach the so-called second Lagrange point, or L2, where it will have access to nearly half the sky at any given moment.”

Uh??

I have access to half of the sky standing here on earth.

The SUN will destroy the Webb’s optics, so it has multiple shields and is far enough away from Earth to not be affected by Earth noise.............
