JWST's is fully deployed! How are you celebrating? The telescope still has many adventures to come before we get the first images back, but with deployment behind us, we can all take a massive sigh of relief. JWST has another two weeks left on its journey to its final destination, and it will be another five months of calibration and alignment before we get the first pretty pictures.

Did you watch the JWST launch last weekend? This was definitely one of the coolest moments. This real-time video shows the separation of the James Webb Space Telescope from its Ariane 5 launch vehicle. It was the last close view we will ever get of the telescope. The launch and course corrections were so precise that JWST should have enough fuel to support science operations for way longer than its original 10-year lifetime. That's fantastic news! 🎉 (Vid: ESA/Arianespace) | The Planetary Societ
