This quote rings especially true as I look at the possibilities awaiting us on the horizon.
Shrimplike creatures, an extinct dinosaur called the"hell heron" and colorful beetles are among the 552 new species described this year by researchers at the Natural History Museum in London. The species, all new to science, include those that are both living and extinct.It's a reminder that all creatures great and small contribute to the survival and success of Earth's myriad ecosystems.

Webb's Launch GSFC/NASANASA's Webb Space Telescope Launch: From arrival at the ESA launch Facility in Kourou French Guiana, through launch and deployment, this is your starting point for exploring Webb's launch and commissioning. The James Webb Space Telescope's revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Webb’s infrared telescope will explore a wide range of science questions to help us understand the origins of the universe and our place in it. Seeking Light from the First Galaxies in the Universe Webb will directly observe a part of space and time never seen before. Webb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago. Ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the very first luminous objects has been stretched or 'redshifted' by the universe's continual expansion and arrives today as infrared light. Webb is designed to “see” this infrared light with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Exploring Distant Worlds and the Solar System Webb will also be a powerful tool for studying the nearby universe. Scientists will use Webb to study planets and other bodies in our solar system to determine their origin and evolution and compare them with exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars. Webb will also observe exoplanets located in their stars’ habitable zones, the regions where a planet could harbor liquid water on its surface, and can determine if and where signatures of habitability may be present. Using a technique called transmission spectroscopy, the observatory will examine starlight filtered through planetary atmospheres to learn about their chemical compositions.
