On Thursdays I do the space/astronomy news -- this week featuring:

○ Hubble's 32nd anniversary!
○ JWST is allllmost entirely cooled (4 primary mirror segments to go!)
○ all DNA/RNA building blocks have now been found in meteorites
○ good-bye Axiom-1, hello Crew-4!
○ β Pic exocomets are similar to ours
○ Ingenuity investigates landing debris

Of course, just hours after I made the video for this week, the sneaky Webb team announced that in fact the alignment phase is DONE! And they released these cool snapshots from all 4 instruments. Yay!!

@norasguidetothegalaxy That's a pretty cool video! And you seem to speak clearly because the auto generated subtitles were pretty good. I hope you could add real subtitles in the future for us hard of hearing and deaf folks? It'd be so great! Thanks! :)

@trinsec Thanks! I'm glad the auto-generated captions are decent. I'd love to have better quality captions but right now I don't have the bandwidth for it--it's on my list though!
