James Webb Telescope is on its way (track its progress here) --
Success! #NASAWebb’s first mid-course correction burn helped fine-tune Webb's trajectory toward its orbit around the second Lagrange point, a million miles (1.5 million km) from Earth: https://t.co/fCx9tOm7ZI#UnfoldTheUniverse pic.twitter.com/1fb7EGbzE9

Webb will orbit the Sun in line with Earth so its sunshield can protect the telescope from light and heat. What’s the second Lagrange point, or L2? Glad you asked. More on our orbit: https://t.co/UXJMa6v7zB #UnfoldTheUniverse pic.twitter.com/5eCxd6YEWm

Congratulations @NASA and all who made today’s launch of the James Webb telescope possible. Webb is a shining example of the power of what we can accomplish when we dream big. We've always known that this project would be a risky endeavor, but with big risk comes big rewards.

Meanwhile, the cultists turn on their Golden Calf --
Alex Jones: “This is an emergency Christmas Day warning to Pres Trump. You are either completely ignorant .. or you are one of the most evil men who ever lived .. What you told Candace Owens is nothing but a raft of dirty lies.” pic.twitter.com/rNCNdvgNrm

Candace Owens is doing damage control after “so many donors and supporters” are upset over Trump’s vaccine comments. She says he is old, isn’t tech savvy, doesn’t keep up with or read obscure internet conspiracies, and only follows the main stream media so doesn’t have the facts. pic.twitter.com/XAuTFfellE
