WEBB PING!..................
Was expecting lol
I miss the smart people that used to be on FR...
I know that it’s funny. It is also very unfair to the hard working engineers and techs who made it possible
Plus it lends itself to fun art!

question: have any images been taken of anything “close” simultaneously or would it provide no benefit from a spacial perspective?
I like stuff you don’t have to think about!
😜😜🤣
Webb got some pretty cool pictures of Jupiter, that's relatively close.
It can't take any pictures of the back side of the moon because it's always too close to the sun, as I understand it. Webb can't be pointed anywhere near the sun.
I suppose sooner or later it will be used to get a some pics of an asteroid.
You mean like a "binocular vision" kind of thing?
I can't see that being of too much use, especially since Webb and Hubble make images in different wavelengths of light. OTOH, they could be used to get the range to objects within the solar system with a high degree of accuracy using triangulation. Maybe by so doing, the pair could get really accurate estimates of track and velocity for deciding whether an asteroid or meteor is going to hit Earth, at some future time.
Maybe it will get some pixs of Apophis in 2029...
Maybe Apophis will be inside JWSTs orbit...
Maybe it will be like the DART impact...
I just got to make it 7 more years...
thx, yes- a composite image

What does this have to do with the Clinton?s homely daughter?
A galactic pair?
A pair of what?
Just asking is all.
The headline created an interesting combination of words - “Webb Hubbell” was an infamous figure during the Clinton era when this forum was first started. Us “old timers” all though of him when seeing this headline at first glance.
Some conspiracy theories claim that Chelsea Clinton is actually Webb Hubbell’s daughter.
I don’t think that is a conspiracy theory. You can’t fake that kind of ugly!
I do wonder a little now why they named the two telescopes Webb and Hubble, but there’s some resemblance between Chelsea Clinton and Bill Clinton’s mother, Virginia Kelley, so I never put much stock in the rumors.
