When NASA shared the stunning first images from the James Webb telescope, we weren’t only gifted with photos of stars that are billions of light years away. We were also blessed with plenty of Webb telescope memes and tweets.
Or cursed. Depending on your point of view and the fullness of your glass of oat milk.
Because while NASA did what they do best – sending chunks of metal into the infinite space – Twitter leaned into its specialty. No, not making fun of Bachelorette contestants. But finding obscure and creative ways to comment on current events.
Do we wish that specialty was solving world peace? Sure. But we’ll take a laugh where we can get it.
Between comparisons to bowling alley carpet to absolutely neglecting the Hubble telescope, these Webb telescope memes are an easy way to make people think that you keep up with science news. Just don’t let them ask you too many questions.
