If you're wondering what happens in the six months between #JWSTLaunch and science operations, check this out! And shed a 😢 for the #MIRI team, we'll be waiting ~3 months just to reach our operaring temperature of 7 K! 🌡🥶 #worththewait #cryocooled

I wrote a blog! I address the question: "Why will it take SIX MONTHS to see JWST's first science images?" In particular, check out the two cool @NASAWebb graphics created by Shari Lifson @AURADC! https://t.co/g1hrDUYZsb via @exploreplanets

@sampullara @AkAstronomy Wow that actually worked

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@AkAstronomy Heh. Psyche takes a drug that's only made by one company and it is only manufactured in one way in the states: a GIANT chewable that they advertise as tasting great. She loathes the taste. We have to force it into her three times a day in two pieces cuz it's so huge.

@AkAstronomy It really is great. I rarely check bags anymore, didn't even for the two week trip I went on last year (airbnbs with laundry are the bestest).

#JWST and #MIRI fans: here's an update on the MIRI MRS mode with numbers and plots. If you are a PI using the MRS, you're strongly encouraged to read this! Anyone with questions can reach out to us via the Helpdesk https://t.co/CV954oeq82

@jradavenport I briefly considered archeology in college. Now I'd probably try my hand at dog trainer/behaviorist. 🐕

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@AndrasGaspar That's amazing!! 🎉🎉🎉

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@JorgZavala Congrats!! Looking forward to MIRI's view of the z>10 Universe 🎉

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

Okay so not bragging (this is a miracle and I am still pro random number generator), but I REALLY needed a win. 3/3 as PI 😊🥳🥳🥳 Look out PAHs, MIRI spectroscopy is coming for you!! #JWSTCycle2

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@Anyway_the_wind I had to look that up, apparently Sod's Law = Murphy's Law over here 😆

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@Jeyhan Same, hope we overlap!

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

Sooo...anyone I know going to summer AAS? 😆

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@AstroJarron @AkAstronomy My favorite comments are the ones where you get called out for not explaining something that you definitely explained.

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@AkAstronomy Jokes on them, I'm already unhappy 🙃

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@AkAstronomy @PlanetaryGao Guess they wanted to make sure we didn't feel too hopeful about our ALMA proposals 😐

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@Jeyhan Awesome, all week or just part?

[Stacey Alberts @dustobscured]

@kamberschwarz Awesome, all week or just part?
