None the less, that's berkleing cool. Oh, this isn't that forum- that's ****ing cool.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

He said “not inferred,” not “not infrared.” Directly sensing infrared radiation is still direct.
Still a great time to be an astronomer. And an astrophysicist.
The data that JWST takes with each image is enough to fill probably hundreds of PhD thesis. Just use all of the data (which is always being taken) to look at something obscure in the image.

I thought we weren't supposed to do this because it just turned one impact into a hundred?
My favorite asteroid defense is fly something next to the incoming asteroid. The gravitational attraction is enough to pull the asteroid off an impact trajectory. That is finesse.Cornell University

Interesting to find out I grew up in a class 2 area (which, I'm sure 30 to 40 years ago was on the very low end of class 2) and now live in a class 7 area.
It's taken 15-20 years, but I'm now appreciating how much of nature I grew up surrounded by in the UP.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

As to the latter....
We're in different states with different needs. Where I live it won't matter what my vote is, the Ds will win no matter how incompetent they are (and if you lived in Montgomery County you would know the truth of that statement).CCT '77 & '78
