Godspeed JWST, it was a great pleasure and honor to meet you and capture your portrait. Merci at bon voyage our sweet awesome telescope! The world awaits your discoveries.

A telescope’s perfect reminder that we’re all simply trying to find our way, with curiousity, and learning just a bit more about our universe. JWST launched this morning on an epic 1 million mile journey to orbit the sun at the second Lagrange point, to answer so much more.

Painters, drawers, sculptors, and printmakers tasked with the tall order of visualizing, and then to help enlighten not just of its “outward appearance” but its “inward significance”; of what cannot be put into words. Fitting that JWST reflected all of us at the same time.

I first met JWST in person in a gigantic clean room at Goddard Space Flight Center in 2016. There it was. Its giant optical telescope element, beautiful gold primary mirror staring right back at me, at us, artists invited to capture it as best as we could.

Merry Christmas! We got you a new telescope. The James Webb Space Telescope launched today, beginning a one-million-mile journey to see 13.5 billion years into the past. Follow

For years, we’ve been answering the question: When will
#NASAWebb launch? This morning, we answered that for the last time! Next up: Where is Webb? We’ve got an answer for that, too! See where Webb is on its million mile journey to#UnfoldTheUniverse: https://webb.nasa.gov/whereiswebb pic.twitter.com/edQ2XxNqyn

#NASAWebb is safely in space with its solar array drawing power from the Sun! Its reaction wheels will keep the spacecraft pointed in the right direction so that its sunshield can protect the telescope from radiation and heat: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/25/webb-is-on-its-way/ …#UnfoldTheUniversepic.twitter.com/s4nfqvKJZD

Here it is: humanity’s final look at
@NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield.#UnfoldTheUniversepic.twitter.com/DErMXJhNQdSeparation -
Go Webb!!

#NASAWebb has now separated from the upper stage. The observatory is flying on its own! We’re getting our last view of the telescope, but it’s only the beginning of what Webb will help humanity see: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/25/upper-stage-separation/ …#UnfoldTheUniverse -
The main engines of Webb’s
@Ariane5 rocket have cut off, and the main stage has now separated. The upper stage has ignited and will burn for about 16 minutes. At cutoff, Webb will be moving 25,000 miles per hour (relative to Earth)!#UnfoldTheUniverse https://go.nasa.gov/3qs9Kp5 -
#NASAWebb’s fairing has been jettisoned, revealing the telescope for the first time in space! Also, we have successfully received telemetry from the observatory.#UnfoldTheUniverse https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/25/webb-telemetry-received/ …pic.twitter.com/MN3xOPounA -
Here is that moment, preserved for posterity!
