The James Webb Telescope

We didn't do that for the jollies.

i was roundly dis'ed bak in the early 90's when I was telling folks about that. I liked saying 'if you believe me, ask a dinosaur. Oh . . . wait.

1 light year is approximately 5.88 TRILLION miles. Roughly 1837 times farther than Pluto<--> Earth.

Fckng mind boggling distances.

Edit: DOH! I got NECRO'd

Supposedly from Hubble.
looks like a plot device from that SyFy show?

edit:
probably hoax photo from the Expanse show.
Proto-molecule anyone?

edit2:
or maybe the Expanse copied from Nasa??

Well, duh, link - so we can see if it was from Hubble. Looks massively image enhanced.

Woah it's pretty cool seeing a galaxy at that angle.

That's just a Mario block in space. Clearly, dark matter is the invisible brick surrounding it that we can't detect yet

Just saw this ~25 minute video. TBH, it annoyed me but I stuck to the end hoping to discover the motivation(s) that fueled its production.

I could not help suspecting ulterior motives for the production of this video, but continued to the end in order to discover what the motivation(s) might have been. No clarification developed for me. I have to think that the greater minds working on the problems addressed are nowhere near as confused as the narrative we're presented here. This video is visually stunning, but too much so for a serious investigation of any kind, clearly, and the disparities in the presentation between what we see and what we hear is disconcerting, pretty much throughout.

A comment suggests that the narrative was AI generated, which may explain my being uncomfortable watching it and the desire for it to end...

I'm curious what astrophysicists are thinking now, what is the current state of cosmology.

Edit: A simple search brought up this...

Might be a repost but since it's Dec, here's the The Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster.

At first i thought it was an image from Hubble because it's not as sharp as other Webb pics.
But reading further, it's a combination of data from both Webb and Hubble 😱
