The James Webb Telescope Launches Christmas Morning, December 25, 2021

 Merry Christmas, 2021!

The James Webb Telescope launched this morning! Here are my photo clips from the launch.  If all goes well, this telescope will change how we look at the universe, and maybe more than we can imagine still.

Update, Sunday, December 26, 2021: Below is the view from the upper stage camera on the Ariana 5 looking at the James Webb Telescope just after separation.  This will be humanity's last view of the James Webb telescope before it moves to its destination almost a million miles from Earth (Source: https://www.space.com/nasa-james-webb-space-telescope-next-steps).
