JWST Photo

Wow... That is incredible.

Incredible - it can really hurt a persons head to try to wrap the mind around what is in that photo and how that only represents a mere fraction of the vastness of what is out in the night sky. Gives a person something to think about around a fire this Fall.

I'm watching the NASA TV Live feed on youtube. They are releasing more in about 10 mins. I've been waiting for this for 10 years. NERD ALERT!

It is mind blowing. Particles reaching our telescopes after traveling at the speed of light for billions of years. Literally looking into the past.

Its an unbelievable achievement to see light that has been traveling for 13B years especially considering we all know the universe is only 6000 years old.

I know it, I'm struggling to find words to describe that. Other then my ape brain saying Thats F#%$ING COOL!

I spent some time looking at these today. I can think of nothing else that gives me this feeling of sheer awe. Pretty amazing what’s out there, and how damn small we are.

Quite an upgrade from Hubble.

Yes, what we're seeing now happened BEFORE there were dinosaurs on earth.
