Original Details:
Inspired by the enormous hexagonal mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope, the song "Beryllium Mirrors" takes us on a poetic journey through the finer points of what is to become the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. With original plans to launch in 2019, the JWST mused Portland-based artist Joshua H. Metz to write the song in 2017 in an effort to help build hype for this amazing technological monolith. As it stands, the JWST has been rescheduled a number of times and is now predicted to launch around May of 2021.
I hope you enjoy the video!
