Space is unironically gay

Space is a room where many people stay on a station that have a libido and are dominantly male. Do you know what happens under stress situations like being in a capsule? Mental illnesses and rape. Conditions of space, so to speak, make people gay.

Livestrema is seemingly also on since half an hour ago.
Now there's foids babbling about stuff they don't understand.

Disgusting. Barefooters should be lined up and shot.

Especially if my skin is on shot. Camera doesn't want to show me being swarthy like a gypsy.

it is currently almost 20% distance covered but since it's slowing down until final destination (it was yeeted out with just enough speed to reach its target at L2, at the limit of Earth's gravitational domination) it will travel for a whole month
it will pass Moon's orbit on day 3
after that sunshield will unfold, so that the telescope will remain in shade and cool down so that it can view infrared wavelengths without blinding itself with thermal radiation
after 10 days the mirrors will start unfolding too

so what they actually want to take photos of in the first place?
SloveniaBernd2021-12-26 18:22:59 · 5yNo. 130710reply
Very deep space objects, so far away that the light from them that is now reaching Earth was emitted soon after the universe has formed.
Its range is in deep infrared, which isn't scattered by cosmic dust as much as visible light. At the same time, very distant objects also have their light very red-shifted before it reaches Earth (relativity and expansion of space effects, to put it simply the photon light waves get stretched) so their light is seen in deep infrared instead of visible.
Side objectives are images of brown dwarfs and rogue planets in interstellar space, and possibly of comets and Kuiper belt objects in our own Solar system (including the anticipated Planet 9, if it exists.)

It can detect gas in Atmosphere that made by living organisms.
SloveniaBernd2021-12-26 21:35:13 · 5yNo. 130714reply
That's uh not at all its purpose and requires tremendous abuse of its instruments but yes, since molecules have their own distinct signature infrared spectra it's possible to search for odd molecules in atmospheres of planets using that
(helps with getting the funding and interest from reddit crowd though)

JWST is about as far as the moon rn (right now).
