WOW. It was so cool getting to hear their experiences and some of the inside scoops 🍨 about life at @northropgrumman and @NASAWebb construction. Thank you Neil and Jeremy for stopping by to discuss a stellar topic with us! ✨💫🌌🌎🔭

Very excited to welcome @northropgrumman engineers Neil and Jeremy to campus to hear about the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope! Guest tweeter @ktrett_ will be live tweeting the talk for us!

Some thermal reflectivity issues were discovered late in the game (uh-oh 😶).

They figured out a design to fix this (let’s go material matching for equal thermal expansion), but wow it sounds like something out of a @forallmankind_ episode !

4) -388° & 185° - temperature (F) ranges to account in optical design

Optical components must be kept cold 🥶 ❄️🧊

It's semifinals time for the @ArmaniLab cupcake showdown. Only four remaining - and they reference #chemistry, #PacMan, & classic #Halloween characters. Vote for your favorite!
