At least they won’t have to deal with Air mass or wind shake.
What the telescope’s instruments should be able to see has the potential to revolutionize science. Can’t wait.

Can’t wait!!!😀

I anxiously await the pics and discoveries this magnificent instrument will deliver.
Elon Musk could have probably done it at half the cost and delivered it early and launched it on his own rocket. LOL

Obviously they can take pictures already. So why don’t they show one?
I would like to see it do one shot of the catseye nebula a year.After several years, you could stitch all the shots into a vid and actually watch it expand. In addition to being cool, I think it could actually be useful from an actual scientific standpoint.
