I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

What a year for the James Webb Space Telescope! From identifying frozen water in a young star system to wowing us with great images of the distant universe, Webb has exceeded our expectations in 2025. 🔭

Had an excellent data review with our brilliant team at Space Telescope Science Institute today going over the telescope performance. JWST will be in space 4 years this week and its performance is still excellent and it will be for a very long time!!

Each of #NASAWebb’s four instruments are able to answer specific science questions. Three instruments have cameras, but all four can perform spectroscopy, which is used to study the details of what wavelengths of light objects emit or absorb: webbtelescope.pub/3uJUKoW 🔭 🧪
Graphic showing the positions of Webb’s four science instruments behind the telescope’s primary mirror. On the left half, under the title “Webb’s Science Instruments,” is a line drawing of the underside of Webb's mirror. A gold rectangle outlines the position of the science instruments. On the right half of the graphic is a blown-up and more detailed illustration of the four science instruments: NIRSpec, FGS/NIRISS, NIRCam, and MIRI.
