September is Deaf Awareness Month! Here is a fun fact about the James Webb Space Telescope in American Sign Language, signed by NASA Goddard mission director Apurva Varia. "Webb can see details the size of a US penny at the distance of about 24 miles!"

Note that we have added English closed captioning for those who don't read ASL - but please also note what a rich language ASL is. As a result the caption is not "word for word/sign," but it should still help guide the viewer in interpretation.
