🔭🧪 Things that make me happy: This is the first image from Mars, taken July 1965. Why does it look like this? Because computers were slow and it was going to be hours before the computer processed it enough to make an image. The scientists and engineers were impatient. 1/5

The detectors in the MIRI instrument on JWST are amazing, super sensitive, and also annoying little snowflakes - as many of you have already discovered. Our paper looking at their behaviors and performance is now published and available: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023PASP..135g5004M/abstract
