Its just another Large Hadron Collider.
A big dumb expensive science junk machine...

Who will benefit from this thing?

You, obviously. At the very least it's existence has allow you to post about it's shitty existence.

>Wavelengths from 0.6 µm (orange) to 28.5 µm (mid-infrared).

What were you expecting? Why not go whine about something else, like all those other 1000s of science crap that has nothing to do with anything and is a waste of money and brain power?

>What were you expecting?

cool space photos

Most telescopes aren't even in normal light wavelengths.

You realize that you are complaining about the effort that spawned the world wide web, on the world wide web.

(And on a board dedicated to science to boot, but anti-science is kinda par for the course around here.)

CERN is one thing,
the LHC is a different thing.
WWW was not invented during R&D for LHC.

And this thread is just a meme, JWST will probably be cool enough idk

>Tfw this can't take cool space photos

Yes it can you moron. It has 2 good imagers and, contrary to mass delusion there is no reason infrared images aren't pretty. In fact the general public won't be able to tell the difference between near infrared images and visible ones.

JWST images will actually be more interesting than visible ones because they won't look like images people have seen before.

>WWW was not invented during R&D for LHC.

That's not what he said, brainlet.

They all look fairly shitty. Cheap and tacky.

...

Oh look, more totally boring infrared images.

...

Not really feeling it. There's too much visible interstellar gas, for one. I'll pass on this mission, thanks.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about. As you can see in this image there is far more "interstellar gas" (in the form of HII regions and dust) in the visible image. Infrared traces the stars much more cleanly.

Imagine being in that room and suddenly having to sneeze REALLY fucking bad

>he fell for the visible light meme

I'll take the whole EM spectrum thanks m8

>cool space photos
leave this board, brainlet anti-intellectualist, anti-knowledge scum.

damn just how much tinfoil do space programs use holy shit

>one big satellite
>not a swarm of small ones deployed as a huge-ass synthetic aperture array

might as well spend the money on weed and gay weddings for all the advancement it would provide lmao

>not a swarm of small ones deployed as a huge-ass synthetic aperture array
SIM should have been a lesson to people like you that interferometry in space is not fucking simple. It is nowhere near the point of considering replacing things like JWST. Stay ignorant.

Giant telescopes taking pictures of places we will never go
Totally pointless

Imagine what our space programs could do if they focused on doing useful stuff

wtf is that a supernova remnant?

These look pretty damn nice

>space is big, will never reach, checkmate

You know space starts where air ends right?

>The feels when OP is a retard and can't search any thing on the net

not enough

Yeah, it's the helix nebula.

Well the don't want aliens hijacking their satellites now do they?

I'm sure the scientific community will be devastated to hear this user

No, the Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula, not a supernova remnant. They're caused by giant stars which throw off their outer envelope during violent oscillations near the end of their lives.

Yes they are, they're just mostly owned by hobbyists.

I was obviously talking about scientific ones used for actual science. There's also a ton of radio telescopes that amateurs use too.

>Not really feeling it.
Where there is no sense, there is no feeling.

>tinfoil
foil is aluminum now, Grandpa
