The James Webb space telescope launches Christmas day.
Around 12.20PM UK time, 11.20PM Sydney time.
If it doesn't blow up and manages to unfurl properly the pictures from that are going to be amazing.

If JWST makes it to L2 and completes all its deployment stages it will be a massive achievement. Really looking forward to seeing the images come back from this observatory.
