🔭 NASA’s revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope reaches final orbit in space
After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles through space over the last month, NASA’s revolutionary new James Webb Space Telescope performed its last big course correction maneuver this afternoon, putting itself into its final resting place in space.
Now, the observatory will live in perpetuity at a distance of roughly 1 million miles from the Earth, giving the vehicle a front row view of the most ancient stars and galaxies of the universe.
JWST began an extremely complex routine of shape-shifting and unfurling, a type of choreography that no spacecraft had ever performed before.

🎤 Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy had asked Biden: "Would you take a question on inflation? Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?"
🗣 "It's a great asset - more inflation," Biden deadpanned. "What a stupid son of a b***h."

🏙 New York City will use face detection technology
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who previously served as a captain at the New York Police Department, unveiled what he called a wide-ranging blueprint to combat gun violence that would put more officers on patrol and give wider powers to prosecutors.
Also this will allow prosecutors to move gun-related cases faster through the courts to combat the city’s gun violence epidemic, Adams said.
New York City has seen a sharp rise in crime, including in shootings and homicides, since the spring of 2020, according to media reports that cited 488 murders in 2021 - nearly 200 more than in 2017.
