The "No Math, Just Vibes" version of the passage of time for me is: 1984 = 26 yrs ago 1992 = 15 yrs ago 2000 = 10 yrs ago 2008 = 5 yrs ago 2016 = Also 5 yrs ago 2020 = Last Year 2021 = Also Last Year 2022 = The Present 2023 = 1 or 2 years from now 2024 = Next Year 2025 = The distant future

Spider Webbs: Photograph of a lit jack-o'-lantern carved with Webb's characteristic segmented hexagonal mirror pattern overlaid with the shape of a spider. Next to the photograph are two stencils with instructions. One stencil is that used for the carving in the photo. The other stencil has a mirror pattern in the bottom-left that transitions to a spider web pattern in the upper-right.
