The universe’s most expensive meteorologist.
But at least he’s light years ahead of the competition.

They can tell the weather on a planet 280 light years away but they can’t tell me if it’s going to rain here tomorrow.................

In Star Trek, warp factor 7 is 656 times the speed of light. Warp factors are a way to measure velocity in the subspace realm, where faster-than-light speeds are possible. The relationship between warp factor and speed is as follows:

“Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have successfully mapped the weather on a planet 280 light years away.”
The gullibility of some is amazing.

Good planet to operate an open-air blast furnace...
Need to send a few thousand members of the USW there to begin operations...

I see what you did there, lol.
The Giant Magellan Telescope
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Magellan_Telescope
is currently under construction in Chile, will have a mirror of 25.4 meters in dia.
The ELT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Large_Telescope
is also currently under construction, also in Chile. It will have a 39.4 meter
Mirror (130 ft.)
Even taking atmospheric distortion into account, these monsters will make Hubble and Webb seem like pea shooters. It will be interesting to see what they will be able to reveal. I can’t wait….😮😀

Those readings concluded that the day side of the tidally locked planet (meaning one side always faces the star) averaged nearly 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit (1,250 degrees Celsius). The researchers point out that this is hot enough to “forge iron.”
Global Warming.

They’ve got some impressive names for these giants of the telescope world.
Rumor has it that a “Big Boy Telescope” had been in the works, but the project was cancelled when it was revealed that he had quite a checkered past.
