JWST in Seattle

Ok, new Mac PhotoBooth works...

This is the JWST full size mockup that Northrop brought to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle.

If things work out as promised I may get "JWST covered in snow" later today. Or not.

The person in the foreground is the current JWST crew on guard, friendly guy.

Disclaimer: Northrop served us Sushi last night, but we had to buy our own drinks, so no bias...
