Tangent, how would this telescope do turned around and pointed at our deepest oceans? There’s infinitely more alien life to actually find and study, and it’s still unstudied for good reasons I suppose I’m fishing for.

Wait… what?

We’ve got tons of oceanographic satellites. James Webb is extremely good at picking up light. The ocean is extremely dark.
