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
