Description

This week, while NASA was showing off the first amazing images from the 6.5 meter James Webb Space Telescope, positioned 1 million kilometers past the far side of the moon, I was catching photons in my backyard with a 0.092 meter telescope under the full moon. The backyard scope didn’t cost $10 billion dollars, but it punches above its weight class.
