There's got to be advanced beings out there... Probably many.
Down the road, Webb will be able to zoom further into time within this same field and capture the very first rays of light emerging from a few million years after the Big Bang. You can see the same few galaxies in the foreground that are being gravitationally magnified.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced 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.
This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.
and they are all still searching for the ideal cable that will tighten the bass and bring forth the liquid, chocolatey mids.
That and the ultimate mix for dirty martinis. We can help them with those issues.
Really? Wowzerzzzz. So it is this times like billions more pictures. Far out!
That's reassuring in some ways... definitely don't want, "The Borg" or similar sniffing about in our solar system.
Well, it's a matter of scale. If you look at your hand, you are seeing your hand of the past, if we can talk like that. When it's millions years is shocking to us, but the underlying thing is the same.
What we see is the present for us, then we know by causality that this are the consequences of some events happened in another place at some distance (space and time) from us, etc etc
mmmm it looks like movement to me, but not sure. The direction is more or less following a curve around the center of the picture... In the end this is just a picture, so there is always a compromise between resolution and time.
O my. When does it end? That is so trippy.
Lotsa lithium out there I bet! (For batteries...lol.)
