Ever wanted to look back in time? This week, we’re launching a kind of time machine – a telescope so powerful it will help us see back some of the first stars and galaxies made after the Big Bang.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest and most advanced telescope we’ve ever put in space. With revolutionary technology, it will study 13.5 billion years of cosmic history and help humanity understand our place in the stars.
Tomorrow, Dec. 25, at 7:20 a.m. ET (12:20 UTC), the Webb Telescope is set to launch from French Guiana, beginning a 29-day journey to a spot a million miles away.

Once Webb launches, the journey has only just begun. The telescope will begin a 2-week-long process of unfolding itself in space before settling in to explore the universe in ways we’ve never seen before.

C for Charlie!
She originated as part of a series of throwaway designs I whipped up from Artbreeder images generated by an old friend (@uwunium on Twitter), nevertheless, she has a special place in my heart.
Charlie's your typical run-of-the-mill rebellious teen; she loves soft drinks, skating, indie music, and being an overall smug menace at school. She also happens to be one of three kids adopted by an exiled demon overlord who, after getting dethroned, was cast away to spend eternity in Detroit, Michigan. The shelves (and red hair) are hereditary and she sees from the gemstones embedded in the drawer handles, she often uses this "ability" to sneak snacks into the cinemas amongst other mundane things. She also owns a bearded dragon named Skullcrusherninethousand who she begged her demon dad to get.
Pioneer Venus Multiprobe.
