How much liquid nitrogen did it take to freeze @NASAWebb for a little more than 90 days? Here are a couple of ways to measure it. (Liquid nitrogen wasn't the only thing we used; read more about how we kept #Webb cool here: https://t.co/fPoz2mGjyE) #JWST

#TBT Last year, a full-scale model of @NASAWebb (#JWST) was on display in Houston at #SuperBowl LI. JWST's infrared sensitivity will help to compare the faintest, earliest galaxies to today's grand spirals & ellipticals, so we can learn how galaxies form over billions of years.
