Mark McCaughrean | Good news & bad 🤷♂️ The good? Yesterday’s # JWST observations of the Orion Trapezium Cluster were successful & we now have NIRSpec spectral data for lots of brown dwarfs, planetary-mass objects, & JuMBOs 🥳 The bad? The other half of the programme the day before didn’t work 😭 That included our highest-priority targets, the longest exposure times, & extra calibration observations 😬 The guide star acquisition failed – we’re not yet sure why 🤨 # SpaceScience # Astronomy # Astrodon
