Sliding Into the Weekend Like - Sols 3466-3468

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 10, 2022
It's been a challenging week in Gale crater, but Curiosity and the rover team are ready to put those challenges behind us as we head into a busy weekend plan. I've been on shift as LTP and SOWG Chair this week, and we've had a handful of issues related to difficult terrain, being in a good orientation for communication, and having small downlink volumes available for planning.

MIRI's sharper view hints at new possibilities for science

Paris (ESA) May 10, 2022
The James Webb Space Telescope is aligned across all four of its science instruments, as seen in a previous engineering image showing the observatory's full field of view. Now, we take a closer look at that same image, focusing on Webb's coldest instrument: the Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI.

Webb telescope's first full color, scientific images coming in July
Write a comment
Get ready for a summer blockbuster.
The James Webb Space Telescope will produce "spectacular color images" of the cosmos in mid-July—its first observations dedicated to its mission of scientific discovery, an astronomer overseeing the project said Monday.
The successor to Hubble has spent the last five months aligning its instruments in preparation for the big reveal, with scientists deliberately remaining coy about where the cameras will be pointed.
"We'd really like it to be a surprise," Klaus Pontoppidan, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore told reporters, adding that the secrecy was partly due to the first targets not yet being finalized.
NASA and its partners the European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) formed a committee to create a ranked list of objects, which they now intend to work through.
