Wow! ๐คฉ #Webb is now fully deployed! Congratulations to everyone involved. We canโt wait to see what the telescope has in store for the international astronomy community!
Canโt wait for tonight. So much respect for you @swish41! Thank you for everything. What a player but most importantly what a great person! ย #41Forever ๐ฏโค๏ธ
Sorry for the shade, @NASASun, @NASAMoon & @NASAEarth! But you're just not cool enough ๐

This is it: weโve just wrapped up one of the most challenging steps of our journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse.
With all five layers of sunshield tensioning complete, about 75% of our 344 single-point failures have been retired!
Shine bright like a diamond ๐
With the successful deployment of our right sunshield mid-boom, or โarm,โ Webbโs sunshield has now taken on its diamond shape in space. Next up: tensioning the 5 sunshield layers! https://t.co/6G2caS1djY #UnfoldTheUniverse
Finally saw the @Netflix film โDonโt Look Up,โ a fictional tale of a Nation distracted by pop-culture and divided on whether to heed dire warnings of scientists.
Everything I know about news-cycles, talk shows, social media, & politics tells me the film was instead a documentary
Something Iโm hearing from several people who had breakthrough infections is that it started with this little tickle in the back of their throat - that they didnโt think much about. LISTEN TO THE TICKLE. If itโs omicron you could be infectious during that time.
