- hi res https://stsci-opo.or…grafician
- and comparison to the old Hubble one: https://twitter.com/…grafician
- Ooooh...to see a universe in a grain of sandNonEntity
- quote has a "so far" at the end.sted
- The international NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has delivered the deepest, sharpest infrared image of the distant Universe so far.sted
- If you held a grain of sand on the tip of your finger at arms length, that is the part of the universe that you're seeing. Just one little speck of the universehotroddy
- Amazing how we are able to look back in time billions of years at ancient light so far away.monospaced
- Absolutely beautiful and mind blowing._niko
- I wonder what trump's reaction to this would be? does he comprehend our place in the universe?_niko

- Spent a few hours looking at that image, there's no way we're alone, it's only logicalgrafician
- Its amazing that they had lensflares billions of (light) years agowoowahesque

- We need Dr Matt Taylor with another of his offensive shirts. I find it annoying that people expect scientists to be extroverts or even celebritiesIanbolton
- I hear you but if they could harness a fraction of the enthusiasm and presentation skills that apple puts into revealing dumb shit like the "notch" it'd be huge_niko
- Couldn't agree more. Apple have been doing that shit for years though. Maybe Apple should buy NASA?!Ianbolton

- yeah if you look closely he's busy punishing men who shave their beards and women who don't cover up in all of those star systems_niko
- your eyes and brain are an amazing pattern solvers, just not enough to cover it all.sted
- it's gorgeous!whatthefunk
- Is that a lens flare effect on those 6 spiked star?shapesalad
- @shape, I'm curious: possibly by the shape of the array? Like how apertures create flares predictability: "n flares = n blades".kaiyohtee
- @kaiyohtee true, it's also made of hexagon tiles, so maybe that's why.shapesalad
- Where thee created by J.J. Abrams or Michael Bay?utopian
- Amazing! But if Hubble set the bar and this new tech is 30 years later, kinda expected more. Also, who forgot to remove the Hoya Star filter?futurefood
- those extra large stars w/ the flare effect are in the foreground. They're larger because they're much closer.sarahfailin

"The James Webb Telescope discovered something terrifying in deep space
I work for NASA as an astronomer, and there are certain things we keep hidden from the public. No, the Earth isn't flat, and aliens don't control the government. Fuck, I wish those were the case, as the truth is much, much worse.
In 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope saw a star disappear. It didn't go supernova, or die naturally, it simply went dark, over the span of a few minutes. This star was already too faint to see with the naked eye, and ground-based telescopes had trouble picking it out from among the surrounding stars, so the event wasn't widely known to the public. At the time, we thought the most likely explanation was that a cloud of interstellar dust had drifted between Earth and the star, occluding it from view. It was noted and mostly forgotten about...."

- pfff, bring it on, they don't know that we have a secret weapon more horrific than anything they've ever seen - Monsanto_niko

- ohhh. I just watched this movie with my 10 year old daughter. It blew her mind.bogue
- Great movieRamanisky2
- Then let her read the book, it's even more mind-blowingsrhadden
- One of my all-time favourite movies. I've never thought to read the book... *adds to [long] listNairn
- Saw it again today after 20 years. Thank you so much, awesome movie.Wordsworth

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning image of Cartwheel Galaxy with rotating arms
- Am I the only one not impressed with any of the Webb photos. They all look like 1977 Stars Wars renderings that didn't make the cut.utopian
- neat!
and yes, utopian, you are the only one who is not impressed.sarahfailin - @utopian they went from VGA to 5K common!grafician

- This is so fascinating, narrator aside, it looks like they stumbled on an old wreck on an abandoned rusty warehouse on tattooine. Definitely a Star Wars vibe_niko
- 38 minute mark_niko
- Sorry my eyes suck 33 minutes in lol_niko
- Also so sad that this is the state of one of the most important t and historically significant sites on earth. Sputnik, Guegerin, etc now just decay_niko
- This should be returned to its old glory and have pilgrimages there, should be a museum instead it’s a Detroit level shit hole_niko

"'Look closely and there’s a tear in Armstrong’s eye": the Apollo space missions as you’ve never seen them before'
Nasa’s original moon mission photographs, kept locked in a freezer in Houston, are some of the most vital artefacts of human endeavour. Now, they have been remastered for a new century. Introduction by Tim Peake. Photographs restored by Andy Saunders
- The tear in Armstrong's eye photo is one of my all-time favourite photos.Nairn
- anyone remember the moon exhibition where they scanned in the images at grain resoltuion and then printed them out at large scale. they were amazing.hans_glib
