We know that a number of you follow us mostly (?) for the space filter wheel content. So here is one more! Look at that image. Not, it's not the MIRI filter wheel this time. This is the NIRSpec filter wheel, and if you follow the visible cables to the left (see the blue one?) 1/ you will reach an unobtrusive metal thingy. Here is some more detail. That is the position sensor for the filter wheel. After all, @NASAWebb @ESA_Webb (see how the Europeans invested in an extra underscore there? Classy!) is far away, and you cannot just go and look what's up. 2/

OK, Internet. Are you ready for our gallery "The Beauty of the @NASAWebb @ESA_Webb MIRI Instrument Filter wheel"? Because it *is* beautiful, and @mpi_astro is quite proud of contributing to that amazing space telescope! Let's start with the classic face-on look. 1/ Also available in the Roy Lichtenstein (?) version. (OK, this is actually the 3D design by @mpi_astro and @ZEISS_Group, taken from this 2005 press release. We've been working for a long time on this!)
