On December 25, 2021, millions of people will wake up in eager anticipation of opening Christmas presents. Far fewer people will be interested in the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope which is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The launch has been delayed several times, and the current launch window is December 25 between 7:20 AM and 7:52 AM Eastern time.
Check out this website for an informative overview of the James Webb Space Telescope, its launch plan, and its unfolding. If you will be up early on Christmas Day, consider watching the live stream of the launch on the NASA website.
I am eager to see what kinds of images it is able to capture and transmit a million miles back to earth.
