A wonders of the natural world episode!

Julia is very uncomfortable. LOL. Shea tells Julia about the wonders of deep space and the launch of the newly invented James Webb Telescope. She goes into detail about what it is, what it will do, and what it means for humanity at large. And Julia cringes at all of it. 

**Disclaimer** Shea and Julia are in no way experts in this subject, it is just a topic that we found interesting to discuss, if you want to get some more information about this subject please visit the NASA website and other reputable sources.
