Today's Nerds


Early this year, the James Webb Space Telescope glitched, and shut down its Near Infrared Imager gizmo - and it stayed down for two weeks.

The nerds figured out the most likely cause was that it got zapped by some kind of high energy particle put out by a super nova - or some such.

And how did these amazingly talented and high-value tech wizards fix it?

Yup - they turned it off, and then turned it back on again.

God love the ÜberNerds.
