   Hi All,   
      
   On 2021-12-27 15:16:12, I wrote to you:   
      
    WvV>>> Btw: It's now already way past (@48km's) the orbit of   
    WvV>>> geostationairy   
    WvV>>> satelites (which is about 35,7 km above the earths surface).   
      
    WvV>> It's now, a day after launch, almost 240K km from earth.   
      
    WvV> Now after almost 2 days and 2 hours of travel it's almost 375K km from   
    WvV> earth and it has traveled more then 25% of the distance to it's   
   destination   
    WvV> in space.   
      
   Today it passed the 1.000.000 km mark from earth, after 12 days and some hours   
   of flight. "Only about 440.000 km's of flight remain to it's final   
   destination, but that will take another 17 days.   
      
   Sofar all deployments (like putting the heatshield and secondary mirror into   
   place) where succesfull! Only the deployment of the Port and Starboard Primary   
   Mirror Wings remain. These last deployments will start tomorrow.   
      
   A good place for additional information is: https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/   
   Most days there are multiple updates of what is going on with the JWST...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
