How do we learn about a planet's atmosphere with a telescope like #Webb? This animation explains the science of separating light into "colors" - spectroscopy - to study the chemical make-up of the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. #JWST More: go.nasa.gov/2utbcdX pic.twitter.com/SHIU2WyCHI

Big announcement today in #MultimessengerAstronomy - which shows what we can discover about the universe by combining telescopes that see light with gravitational wave detection, and now also instruments that detect neutrinos: nsf.gov/news/news_summ… twitter.com/NASAblueshift/…

Webb and Hubble see different things - Webb is more of a scientific successor than a replacement.

The instruments have passed all their environmental and cryogenic tests and are working as required. The IRB only mentioned instrument removal as a hypothetical issue when they discussed their schedule assessment.

Details of the star-forming region around the Westerlund 2 star cluster, captured by #Hubble in the infrared in 2015, give us a tantalizing glimpse of what #Webb will show us. More info here (use arrows to navigate): bit.ly/2rpjkva #JWST pic.twitter.com/vuEJUK0ibE

There isn't a plan to release alignment data, but intermediate images may be released. Thanks for your question!

We did environmental testing at NASA Goddard (vibration and acoustic) to ensure the mirrors could survive a rocket launch. More here: nasa.gov/feature/goddar… Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=kxIJ4d…

Not sure about future GalaxyZoo projects, but raw data from it will be largely public like Hubble's is and will be archived here: archive.stsci.edu (You'll need tools to process the raw data.)

Very very small from anything big - space is very big and comparably empty. Micrometeoroids we do expect, but will have negligible effect on the mirrors. More on that here: jwst.nasa.gov/faq.html#micro
