Built by astronomer and LEGO maniac tonysmyuncle (that’s cool, Brent’s my uncle), this LEGO model of the James Webb Space Telescope is constructed as a replica of the one actually sent into space by NASA.

The Avatar digital camera has a 21x analog zoom lens which should make long-distance observation and photography a snap.
