This is just super fucking cool. It's so rad they can pick out chemical signatures from the light passing through a planet's atmosphere from a star 120 light years away. Absolutely gonzo bananas, the JWT is too cool. I will go on a personal mission to punch Donald Trump in the taint if they actually do cut the Roman telescope.
