Sorry no I don’t......But doesn’t the Telescope look grand out there!

I don’t follow these often enough....same with the ‘Characters’ running around on Mars. But I love looking at the photos they send back. So very fascinating.

This “selfie” was created using a specialized pupil imaging lens inside the NIRCam instrument that was designed to take images of the primary mirror segments, instead of images of space. (NASA)

"This amazing telescope has not only spread its wings, but it has now opened its eyes," Lee Feinberg, Webb's optical telescope element manager at the NASA
