Gabiluzbad
First time I saw that picture I was like “what’s so impressive about that? We have way better pictures of Neptune”
Gabiluzbad
“.......what do you MEAN we took the from earth????”
Dragons Dragons
oooooooo
Echo
Wait what
A Grinning DM
What telescope was that taken with?
Quinneapolis
James Webb
A Grinning DM
Ah ok so not from Earth then
Quinneapolis
well, compared to Neptune, it's functionally at Earth
Gabiluzbad
Not from earths surface
Gabiluzbad
But from earth
A Grinning DM
I actually didn’t learn until recently that Webb doesn’t orbit Earth, which I found interesting
Quinneapolis
it's at a Lagrange point right
A Grinning DM
Yeah
A Grinning DM
1 million miles from earth, between Earth’s and Mars’s orbits
A Grinning DM
It’s speed synchronized with Earth’s
Gabiluzbad
Hhhhuh
A Grinning DM
A Grinning DM
Huh apparently it also does a little sideways orbit too, didn’t know that
A Grinning DM
I have to remember to read up on how that works
ShootingXC
it's at Zeon
Gabiluzbad
Sounds like zeon is at earth-moon l2 while Webb is at sun-earth l2
ShootingXC
oh I misread
ShootingXC
it's at Texas
Gabiluzbad
Regardless
Gabiluzbad
the James Webb telescope is still absurdly far from Neptune
Gabiluzbad
to have taken that picture
A Grinning DM
Yes
