I heard that it will orbit one million miles above the earth.Can they transmit high quality images that far?

You just wait until you see the prints when they arrive at WalGreen’s. You will be really impressed.

It will orbit the sun parallel to the earth’s orbit.

Data can be transmitted millions of miles in space.

"I heard that it will orbit one million miles above the earth.Can they transmit high quality images that far?"

Short answer...yes. Higher definition just takes more time to transmit. But time is, for all practical purposes, essentially indefinite..so the ultimate image is not limited by transmission, but by the design of the telescope itself (pixel count of the imaging sensor, sharpness of image focus, and similar factors). .

They’re still getting data from the Voyagers and I trust you’ve seen some of the pix from the various Mars missions.

Absolutely. My son works at nasa. His first job there was as a data tech on a 20 year old solar observation satellite.

His job was shooting pictures of the sun.

A good friend of his is one of the engineers on the Webb telescope.

Yes. It will sit at the second Lagrangian

Yes! They are using the new Apple iPhone 13 Max. Thats why the whole thing cost 10 billion dollars. Nine billion went to Bill Gates to pay for development of the new phone and to support his Depopulation of Planet Earth thru Poison Vaccine Mandate Program.

They seem to have done so from Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.
