Need a person or other object next to the scale model.. for scale! My brain wants to think those floor tiles are 3” wide, making the model <1m tall and the real thing.. not all that impressive. It’s a funny illusion. I didn’t believe 1:10 scale because it looks tiny in my feed.
Here is @NASAWebb in its stowed configuration within the payload fairing of @Arianespace #Ariane5 launch vehicle. #JWST is a collaboration between @NASA @esa and @csa_asc, with a launch in 2021. From early moments after the #BigBang to #exoplanets, what discoveries await us?
