Watching the Webb telescope website for the temp drop - better than watching paint dry!

Seems like the temperature target for it to be fully operational is -388 degrees F (BRRRR!)

A few times a day I check the link above. Currently the two areas on the cold side that are being reported are at -363 and -359. One other area (#5) is at -372.

So - all seems to be going according to schedule. How cool is that (yes, pun intended!)

1. I've been looking from time to time at that site.

Most of the articles and videos I've seen are crap/click bait/otherwise misleading.

3. You mean all those videos that say Webb has found ET life aren't true?

I guess Webb has to be returning images first...

There was another that stated a ground telescope had taken a picture of it.

This is the picture they used to advertise the article:


This is the actual picture:

2. Not as cold as my wife's feet, when she gets into bed and

puts them on me to warm them up.

NASA ought'a hire her.
