The James Webb Space Telescope Will Truly Do What Hubble Only Dreamed Of
“By the same token, the James Webb Space Telescope will teach us an incredible amount about the Universe, including further details about how stars form, what the earliest stellar populations look like, will show us gas giants and rogue planets in unprecedented detail and will tell us what made up the Universe at any given time in the past. It will show us a whole slew of things that Hubble cannot, by virtue of it reaching to much longer wavelengths of light than Hubble could ever hope to see. And with its huge, large-aperture primary mirror, it will be able to collect more light in a single day than Hubble could in a week. The most exciting things, of course, will be the unexpected: the things we’ll discover that we don’t even know to look for yet.
But even if you don’t learn about any of the science that James Webb will bring to us, there’s one thing it will deliver that everyone can enjoy: the James Webb Space Telescope will show us how the Universe grew up.”
The Hubble Space Telescope, for all of its scientific findings and how it revolutionized our understanding of the Universe itself, touched us all in a way that no piece of knowledge could ever encapsulate. In perhaps the greatest find of all, Hubble answered a question that many of us have had on our minds every time we’ve gazed up at a night sky: what does the Universe actually look like? From its images of star-forming regions, stellar deaths, galaxies, gravitational lenses and the deep abyss of empty space, it’s awed us in a way no other observatory ever has. But James Webb is poised to do us one better, and show us something Hubble never could. It will show us how the Universe went from a state with no stars, no planets, and no galaxies to the Universe we know, recognize and inhabit today.
In short, the James Webb Space Telescope will show us how the Universe grew up. Come learn exactly what that means, and see if you aren’t awed by the possibility!

bi-characters:
Character: Obi-wan KenobiAppears in: Star WarsCommonly interpreted as: Straight
But Really: While Kenobi doesn’t have any love interests in the movies (as the Jedi are forbidden to have them), in the novelisation of Revenge of the Sith (which is canonical) Palpatine tries to convince Anakin that Kenobi had an affair with a senator. Anakin’s first reaction is “what is HIS name” so we can easily assume that Anakin as Kenobi’s padawan and friend knows about his sexuality. In the cartoons Kenobi has female love interest. He can be interpreted as bi or pan.
Many thanks to

for this submission.
Sir Alec Guinness, who of course played Kenobi, was himself bisexual, and he was internally tortured by that fact. [1] [2] So making a character who he made so iconic bisexual is a wonderful way of saying, “Your sexual orientation was nothing to be ashamed of”.
@arrakeen this seems relevant to your interests
This is absolutely always relevant to my interests! I love this so much <3
Thanks for tagging me!

A fox passing through the wood on business of its own stopped several minutes and sniffed.
‘Hobbits!’ he thought. ’Well, what’s next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have never heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. There’s something mighty queer about this.’
He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.
