Piece the images together, flip them quickly and watch Webb blossom!

In order to observe the darkest regions of the universe, the Webb telescope must be large. The spacecraft is engineered to unfold in space, where it will be three stories high and as wide as a tennis court. For the Webb telescope to fit into a rocket, it must be folded up. After launch, Webb will deploy during its roughly 30-day, million-mile journey out to the second Lagrange point (L2). This 48-frame flip-book highlights how Webb deploys unfolds once in space. It can be made at home using paper and a binder clip. As you quickly flip through the frames, you can see an animation of how Webb will deploy in space!
