James Webb Telescope - The Journey Unfolding

The JWST launched this morning...that moment when the sun light reflected off the hull of the JWST. (1:50:40/2:14:33)
JWST, the keyhole to the door of the Universe.
The Persis Khambatta Effect.
When the final sequence is keyed from Earth, logic...and a lot of foolish human emotions...

Space....

Emergent Cascade

When humans take their first look through the JWST, they will find twelve, granite pillars, extending upwards into space. Each pillar of brilliant shine, an uncountable numbers of stars set into holders, the light welcoming humanity. Beyond the pillars, the approaches to a vast and distant galaxy, through the outer dust field of ebbing pink and yellow, past the outer planets to the inner planets ringed with asteroids, the pink star, nestled in a nebula of crimson and gold. Humanity turned the key and opened the door. Beyond the door I saw, Man and Woman in Vitruvian ornamentation set hand in hand on a crown of brilliant silver. Her hair thundered the colors of rocket fire and smoke. Growing as tall as light year before me, I set my look upon her crown from far below. Centered in her crown, the Pink Keyhole Star. Above her crown, three stars of yellow brilliance, one of man, one of woman, in Vitruvian with their child above them as the third. All around the pillars, clouds of light blue and gray swirl as the emergent cascade forms between the Interstellar Queen and humanity.

Like the red and black wings of the butterfly the emergent cascade creates an inseparable bond between humanity and time, like the bulbs in an hour glass, but the wings of the butterfly. Then I watched her dive into the depths of the unknown ocean, hair flowing in the interstellar winds.

Exiting fold....New stars billions of light years away, brought to within inches from our fingertip, the butterfly field of cascade emergence as the energy, comfort and curiosity from billions of light years away warms the tip of the finger as the light passes from those into our very being to create anew.

....the final frontier.

If you haven't seen this, you should. The James Webb telescope is one of the most insanely complicated things we have ever done. It makes the Hubble telescope look like a slingshot by comparison.
