F5. F5. F5. F5.

 

Okay it's 5:30 show us the goods

 

Biden fall off his bike on the way over or something?

 

cmon

 

I'm giving the stream 2 minutes then I'll just look at tweets later

 

A government agency that operates to the nanosecond is not only late on its YouTube feed but it’s also playing techno pop?

 

My son is pretty pissed that I changed from Paw Patrol to elevator music.

 

Boooo

 

Show me the aliens joe. Let’s go

 

I hate this fucking song

 

Yay

 

Enough monologue. Let’s go

 

It is many people’s primary means of communication

 

Wow. The resolution

 

Nelson’s a televangelist if he gets a do over.

 

First Images from the James Webb Space Telescope
On Monday, July 11, President Joe Biden released one of the James Webb Space Telescope’s first images in a preview event at the White House in Washington. NASA, in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will release the full set of Webb’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data during a televised broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC) on Tuesday, July 12, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Learn more about how to watch.

This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground. Learn more about this image (en español).

 

that is amazing.

 

13 billion years. amazing

 

Guys I don’t think we are the only living beings in the universe

 

every time i see a shot of one of those galaxies, and especially this pic, that is the first thing that comes to mind.
It seems simply impossible to believe that there isn't intelligent life in one of those thousands of galaxies

 

Looking forward to all the people in here that are waaaay smarter than me picking apart this and all the other pics we are getting tomorrow to see all the " we've never seen that before!!!!" stuff

 

That is wild

 

Jesus H. Christ

 

So, basically all the reddish dots are more galaxies?

 

2 weeks on the left. 12.5 hours on the right. wild.

 

Check out the one to the right being lensed. Looks like individual planets, or stars

 

Here's the best pic https://stsci-opo.org/STScI-01G7JJADTH90FR98AKKJFKSS0B.png

 

the amount of time this will take isn't even feasible to us. I think something like 90+% of all planets are yet to be formed. we're way ahead of the curve, so to speak.

 

Spoiler

 

Did they explain the distortion in the image?

 

Thanks. Knew some was gravitational lensing, but the way it was in a circle around the middle of the image made me think it had something to do with the exposure or something I know nothing about

 

Eat at arbys

 

I don’t frequent this thread, but read this article last year as they were preparing to launch. figured I’d share

This reply is insane

 

Gonna play this on repeat and have a few beers on the patio tonight looking at James Webb pics
