James Webb Space Telescope Photos Are Out of This World
June 20, 2023 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
One of the coolest things that NASA has going for it—besides launching things and people into space—is their state-of-the-art photography capabilities. NASA photographers are among the best in the world, and maybe even the galaxy.
NASA’s “Image a Day” program continues to amaze, with photos from the International Space Station, the Hubble Telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope, just to name a few.
NASA recently took a poll of internet users, asking what image they’d most like to see. The winner: the Horsehead Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas located 1,375 light years from Earth in the constellation Orion. Everyone has a favorite image from space; mine is still Alan Shepard playing golf on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission.
We hope you enjoy this photo gallery of images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever launched into space. With its improved infrared resolution, it can view objects too far away to be detected by the Hubble, as well as objects dating to much earlier in the history of the universe.

Flex PCB Design Best Practices with Dave Lackey
12/04/2024 | Brittany Martin, I-Connect007David Lackey, a flex circuit expert at American Standard Circuits, speaks about the advantages and challenges of designing with flexible and rigid-flex PCBs. He also discusses how consulting before the design phase can save time and costs by avoiding manufacturing issues and highlights the reliability and packaging benefits of flex technology, especially for compact designs in sectors like aerospace.
Calculating PCB Complexity and First-pass Yields
12/03/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007There are three things I know mathematically about PCB yields: Defects that produce low yields may be systemic and repeatable, while others may be random (but you can test for this); you can predict yields if you take the time to collect the data; and yields are such wonderful things, so we should write about them more.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/13/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineAt the top of my list is “Silicon to Systems,” an interview with technology experts from IPC: Matt Kelly, Devan Iyer, and Kris Moyer. Also, this week, we hear from I-Connect007 Managing Editor Nolan Johnson, who’s been in Mexico for SMTA Guadalajara. Speaking of Mexico, I want to highlight an interview that appeared in IPC Community between Lorena Villanueva and Barjouth Aguilar of Flex, who talk about the importance of sustainability. I wrap up my recommendations with articles about solder printing and wet process control.
Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: 'Fire Your Hiring Habits: Building an Environment That Attracts Talent Top Talent in Today’s Work Force'
07/04/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfI have been doing a lot of reading, thinking, and writing about the so-called labor shortage, not only in our industry but the world as a whole. So, when I saw this book by our own industry’s Dr. John W. Mitchell, I had to read it. I’ll say it right here: You should read it too.
Material Matters: PCB007 Magazine June 2024 Issue
06/17/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamHow a company manages its inventory has a tremendous effect on its financials. This is also true for PCB manufacturing. But, as with most things regarding printed circuit board manufacturing, nothing is as simple as in other business segments. Materials management is nuanced, multifaceted, and requires a holistic systems approach for business success. It is no surprise that the PCB industry is abuzz with energy around material matters.
