The South by South festival in Austin, Texas, played host to a new guest this year, a full-scale model of the James Webb Space Telescope. The tennis-court-sized replica anchored a NASA exhibit that included interactive activities and talks on astronomy. The three-day event was capped off by the breaking of a Guinness World Record for the largest outdoor astronomy lesson.
