How The Webb Telescope’s Beryllium Mirrors Reflect Reality On Earth

“Mirrors, mirrors on the Webb, who in the land is fairest of all?” project scientist Mark Clampin asked six of the mirrors to be built on the Webb Space Telescope.

“Mark,” the mirrors replied, “you are full fair, ’tis true, but the Universe is fairer than you“. And then Mark broke all the mirrors and went on to kill the Universe with a poisonous iPad. [NASA Goddard]
