Count us out of this! Webb's infrared optics detect extremely faint heat signals, and the Earth, Moon, and Sun are *all* much too bright and hot for us to ever look their way. It's why we have a sunshield: webb.nasa.gov/content/observ…

@NASAWebb C’mon @NASAWebb, we know you can’t see us (or the eclipse) because of your sunshield, but don’t forget where you came from! #TeamEarth
@NASAEarth Fair point! Webb wouldn't be in space without our team on Earth, and it's nice to stay in touch with you all via the Deep Space Network... But then again, @NASASun supplies us with the power to explore. Hmmm, tough call — guess we'll let the poll decide!
