He had initially vowed to stay put in Kyiv despite the constant blaring of air raid sirens and attacks on residential buildings, but decided to leave after hearing reports of Russian soldiers ‘raping’ Ukrainian women.

The Webb team will take the telescope through more alignment steps over the next six weeks. The observatory will then go through a two-month process of preparing its science instruments before it’s ready to tackle its mission in earnest. If all reading pre reading continues to go well, we could see Webb’s first full-resolution imagery this summer.
Meanwhile, there were also ‘100 prints for sale with 100% of profits donated to support the organization’s work with artists, schools, and hospitals to develop the healing and nourishing properties of the arts.’
Collaborative effort: Nats joined forces with fellow LA-based artist Jack Winthrop (pictured with Lauren Berghoff) for the art benefit as a way to ‘shine a spotlight on one of America’s most beloved art related charities, The Art of Elysium,’ as per LA Weekly
* Russia threatened to bypass a U.N.-brokered grain deal unless obstacles to its agricultural exports were removed, while talks in Turkey agreed removing barriers was needed to extend the agreement beyond next month.
* Russian forces have likely seized the center of the fiercely contested city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and are threatening a key supply route for Ukrainian forces to the west, British intelligence said.
* Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova is due to visit India on Monday and will seek humanitarian aid and equipment to repair energy infrastructure damaged during Russia’s invasion, the Hindu newspaper reported on Saturday.
The star itself is beautiful to look at, but a highlight of the new image is the background and the array of galaxies and stars that appear there. It’s a testament to the telescope’s sensitivity that it can see so much in just this test image.
March 11 marked the completion of an alignment stage called “fine phasing.” “At this key stage in the commissioning of Webb’s Optical Telescope Element, every optical parameter that has been checked and tested is performing at, or above, expectations,” NASA said.
ZURICH, April 8 (Reuters) – Austria’s government is monitoring the global banking turmoil although there are so far no signs of it spreading to the country’s financial sector, Finance Minister Magnus Brunner said in an interview published on Saturday.
It’s been a long road, and the image marks a triumphant milestone. “More than 20 years ago, the Webb team set out to build the most powerful telescope that anyone has ever put in space and came up with an audacious optical design to meet demanding science goals,” said Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. “Today we can say that design is going to deliver.”
NASA’s Thomas Zurbuchen delivered a key message about the James Webb Space Telescope on Wednesday: It’s going to deliver on its promise to see the universe in unprecedented depth and detail. Webb is already sending back proof of its prowess with a new alignment evaluation image that shows a gleaming star against a background of galaxies.
Webb is a complex beast. It uses 18 hexagonal mirror segments that had to be folded up for launch and then unfolded and aligned in space. We’ve been following the process and seeing increasingly sharper and more focused views of the telescope’s target star leading up to this week’s image release.
