Of course, just hours after I made the video for this week, the sneaky Webb team announced that in fact the alignment phase is DONE! And they released these cool snapshots from all 4 #JWST instruments. Yay!!

On Thursdays I do the space/astronomy news -- this week featuring:

○ Hubble's 32nd anniversary!
○ JWST is allllmost entirely cooled (4 primary mirror segments to go!)
○ all DNA/RNA building blocks have now been found in meteorites
○ good-bye Axiom-1, hello Crew-4!
○ β Pic exocomets are similar to ours
○ Ingenuity investigates landing debris

I'm new here! Not totally sure what's going on yet, but I'll get the hang of it. I'm a science communicator who loves space and astronomy and just completed my PhD in astrophysics. Howdy!!
