Don't Miss: An Almost Total Lunar Eclipse
https://youtu.be/bpXEyfMyru0 On November 19, 2021 (late evening of the 18th in some time zones), the Moon passes into the shadow of the Earth, creating a partial lunar eclipse so deep that it can reasonably be called almost total. Credit: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio What is an “almost t

Fast forward to 19:00. It is one of the most gorgeous liftoffs I've ever seen.

The Earth May Just Have A Temporary Second Moon In Its Orbit
The extra moon is actually a piece of our original moon.

All this discussion of the James Webb telescope on the tube is really getting my geek juices flowing. I assume this discussion is because the telescope launch is just a month away. I am getting more and more worked up as that date approaches. We have been waiting for this for soooo long. 100 times as powerful as Hubble. Yikes, I am so excited. I need drugs to calm down. (I know, any excuse)

@cybrguy I actually try and forget about it...until it's actually up there AND functioning as it is supposed, THEN I will get over the moon geeked out about it. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but that thing has had nothing but delays and setbacks. I am TRULY hoping ALL goes as expected for JWST.

Shhhhhhh... Don't say that. We have been on this one for 30 years now.
If it IS cursed, it will be due to it's name. I, however, am hoping for absolute success as I am sure you are. But 30 years is a long time to work on anything. I worry about it being packed up and ready for too long...

And I was thinking today that the technology on it is now "old", relatively speaking. I did say I hope the best for it. What I'm really looking forward to are the new humongous telescopes coming out...40m mirrors are insane (ELT Chile), 30m TMT going on top of Mauna Kea, the 24.5m Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile, and the Vera Rubin Telescope at 8.4m but with a wide angle view and a first light hopefully October 2022...the only issue with that one is the wide field view because satellite constellations will f up the image especially during twilight and early/late evening.

Its a shame because it would've gone on a Falcon Heavy...always love the tandem landings!
