The original James Webb Space Telescope pin badge, Perspex lapel pin, as seen on NASA broadcasts

This is the second piece in my new collection of pin badges which pay tribute to some of the coolest telescopes around (which all started with my old favourite, the Lovell Telescope). It shows the eighteen super shiny mirrors of JWST, and uses a metal pin on the back to keep it firmly affixed to your coat or shirt.

JWST launched 25th December 2021, which was the greatest Christmas present ever!

—-> Please note that the video shows the necklace version of this pin badge, so you can get an idea of the size and see how shiny it really is!

I make other versions of this design! Find them here:

Many moons ago, before I started my PhD in astronomy, I remember going to a talk about JWST at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. The speaker used an overhead projector to shine a hexagon on the wall which was 1.32 metres across - the same size as each of JWST’s mirrored panels. The mirrors on my pin badge version are significantly smaller (to make them wearable!) - a scale of 1:2167, to be precise!

Each of these pin badges started its life on my computer. I digitally drew each of the 18 panels and other necklace components, then translated the designs into files that can be read by my laser cutter. This machine is the focus of my solar-powered studio, and I’ve spent years hacking and tweaking it to perfection. I laser cut, assemble and polish the mirrored piece, before attaching a metal pin stud to the back. I then carefully place it on a Cepheid Studio branded backing card, ready for wrapping and sending to you, its new owner!

If you’re buying this pin badge as a gift I can include your gift message in the parcel and send it straight to the recipient.
