Good Tuesday morning my Brothers and Sisters!
It is a beautiful but chilly (currently 52°) day here in SW Florida, but there are no Tornados in our neighborhood, thank the Lord... People in nearby neighborhoods are still cleaning up and many, without insurance, are now without a home! I don't know if the powers that be, have taken this area out of the State of Emergency declaration, but for many, it is still an emergency...with far too many homes ravaged and torn apart with some down to the ground!!! I pray that these people are taken care of so they can rebuild their lives and property... Pray for them...
The JWST on the other hand is still steadfast on its journey to the Lagrange L2 Point and at this second it is has completed 92,6898% of its trek, leaving but a relatively short 65,6091 miles to go, while it is now 833,021 miles from Planet Earth!!! Its speed has diminished to 0.1559 miles/sec, which is still fast, and the JWST only has FIVE (5) more days to complete its journey to L2!!! Scientists and Engineers are continuing to calibrate/align the 18 primary mirror segments at about a 1mm adjustment each day to make sure the JWST provides the clearest images possible of the universe it "sees" or perhaps visualizes is a better word! There are some interesting graphics in the lower left corner of the live video which you might take a gander at which will provide you with a better understanding of what the scientists and engineers are doing...
What human kind is evolving, with the JWST, shows in minute detail the magnificence of the collective scientific minds to design, produce, deliver and fine tune this magnificent piece of equipment... If only we could bring together the minds of the masses to solve relatively simplistic issues among the people and to align our collective thinking with good and not disparaging negativity!
Anyway, we are about to embark on a scientific journey to the edge of our Universe and the excitement is building... Let us pray that we are successful in all endeavors to see what the JWST brings to us!
Peace to all and have a marvelous day,
Kerry

Sgt (Join to see) Brother Keryy thanks for sharing, I can not wait until it gets to it's destination. Wow 833,021 miles from Planet Earth! Seems like an innovatinve telescope for sure. Carrying on Hubbles Space Telescope legacy.
