I just got back from the Spectrum store returning my friends equipment, and while waiting had a nice long conversation with a guy originally from Jordan in a wheelchair who has been "crippled" all his life....57 years old. He was like, I don't like all this "new" politically correct terminology like "handicapped". He said I am crippled and ain't nothing gonna change that. Cool guy and he had a beautiful little daughter about 5 y.o.. He went to college and lived in San Diego in 1985 then was able to become a citizen under President Reagan, under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. It's great to see people deal with and overcome adversity!

Lol. I am at the Spectrum store right now in San Diego. What a debacle. Not so easy transferring my plan from Northern to Southern Cali. The days of picking your own phone number are gone as well. When I got my amazing phone number back in 2012 in Tucson Az it was like hitting the lottery and I will never change it. They gave me a selection back then. Now it’s all electronically generated Off your current address, no choice in the matter, so hopefully my husband gets a good one. That would be a miracle .

Tomorrow is the NASA release of the full collection of first images. This was released this evening as a teaser.
I followed the Hubble images from the very beginning and have been watching the reports as JSWT has been built. This telescope is going to change the way we see the Universe, again. I wish I had taken my Astronomy elective as a freshman instead of as a senior in college, I probably would have gone into astrophysics instead of music. Either way, it's been a fun mid-life study learning all the math and physics I slept through in college.

Yes it will. Been following the stars since I was little, bought my first scope back in 90's still use it today. So many wonderful things up there, so many mysteries too....with all 4 scopes in working condition things will get interesting from here on out....some interesting things in that shot already.
