Captured this a couple of days ago (mono camera, 13 mins of total exposure):

Found a good video explaining the nitty-gritty of how the image was captured and what's on it.

This is amazing! The first image of the black hole of our galaxy has been released.

I just figured I love cheese more than the potato...

Looks cool! Thanks for sharing!

If this was the first image from deep space, I wonder who removed the cap there?! Probably green astronauts...

Sunshine Protection Act! Solar observers will be very happy, planetary and deep space observers, not so much!

Sorry, that was an attempted joke... it failed...

Thanks for sharing!
Looks like cooling is quicker away from the shield.
Did they turn on the fans for cooling it down?! ...

I had the same question... Could they be using star shapes to identify the mirror corresponding to an image?

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

It is very interesting to see whether a small probe can deflect a huge rock. Also, I hope it deflects the astroid in a trajectory away from earth's orbit!

It would be sad to see JWST fail, also tax dollars going to waste (kind of, since there would be a lot of technical research done that will be helpful in the future)... It would still be better than money spent on other things on the earth... Caution: this is a digression... https://www.youtube.com/...

That is possible, I open the main website first and use the menu to open discussion forums. Hence didn't see the issue...

Hi!
Just FYI, I am able to access the website, so this is not global... !?

Thanks! Missed yesterday due to clouds. Will check it out today...

Hmm... they would put another one in orbit in the effort to retrieve this one...
