Just how tough is @NASAWebb? Tough enough to survive the shaking shown here, which simulated the vibration of a rocket launch! Check out this Q&A for more examples of #Webb’s hardiness: https://go.nasa.gov/2B0opAH #JWST GIF Credit: #NASA/Michael P. Menzelpic.twitter.com/GHMIdYfnpz

Is the GIF sped up? Or is it the actual vibration frequency that it handled?
Webb was mounted on a "shaker table" and experienced the simulated forces the telescope will feel during launch by vibrating it from 5 to 100 times per second. Read more here:https://go.nasa.gov/2ABTut9
