Cool! I wonder how it will compare to JWST.

Lower resolution and they operate in different bands of light. Nancy’s main thing is that it has about equal detail to Hubble, but a lot wider field of view. The main mission is to map a lot more of the night sky at decent resolution rather than to get better images of things we’ve already seen.

Love the design, fits The Expanse’s aesthetic.
