I Won't Repeat The New Scope's Name... But It Is A Vast Improvement Over... NASA's Spitzer.

Do see at right.

Just imagine what we may learn, with clarity like this.

Sptizer was revolutionary in its day. The first overlaid image, which fades away into the second, is Spitzer looking at the same large Large Magellanic Cloud region. . . which is then replaced by the clarity of the scope at L2 now.

Science ops are still a month or two away. . . but this fine scope deserves a more appropriate name: perhaps Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin(?). . . I've offered others in prior posts. C'mon, NASA -- get your act together:

Hypatia: The first astronomical female was Urania, the Greek muse of astronomy. . . .

Émilie du Châtelet

Mary Somerville

Caroline Herschel

Henrietta Leavitt

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin

Sara Seager

Andrea Ghez, or about 700 others -- "the hidden figures". . . of astronomy. C'mon.

Out.
