This beautiful new video is our last glimpse of the James Webb Telescope as it heads into deep space

The mechanical engineering challenges alone are astounding: to make a thing strong enough to withstand launch acceleration, light enough to send into deep space, and dimensionally stable enough to be blazing hot on one side and near-absolute-zero on the other—it’s all amazing.

I was hoping for some of that high-tech spherical aberration that lends realism to space telescope shots.
