Tomorrow Dec 25th 2021, is a very big day! James Webb Scope is headed out.

[Sgt. Ear Ache]

Hubble is old news. It's done. They should launch a missile and blow it to smithereens! All hail the new god Webb!


hahaha...J/K. There's lots of room in space for both Hubble and Webb to do their thing.

Hubble will always be in my heart. The hubble story is better than any blockbuster. Alone the repair mission was a crimi. And the deep field was just breath taking.

I'm with you there. I don't know that I will ever see any image that will have the impact on me that the first of the Deep Field images did.

Continues to boggle.

Knowing that the universe is big is one thing, but than seeing this picture was like ...speechless...

Btw. interesting fact.
If you take a grain of sand on your finger, on your streched arm, against the sky. Thats the size the JWST deep field image shows from the sky. Crazy isnt it?

crimi

What is crimi by the way? ... the band, a last name or criminal minds?

Sry, my translations are not always so good. Crime story would be the right one.

In german we say krimi, the lazy part of me than translated to crimi. Sry.

Hubble is JWST's finder scope.

The data includes images of Jupiter and images and spectra of several asteroids, captured to test the telescope’s instruments before science operations officially began July 12. The data demonstrates Webb’s ability to track solar system targets and produce images and spectra with unprecedented detail.

The hubble deep field was a section of sky about the size of your little fingernail at arms length. Yet the JWST one is just as packed with Galaxies.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Somehow, a lot interesting things that hubble found, get now a deeper look at.

Infinite universe but we still have to decide who has a better DAC and why mine is better

Turn the JWT onto the Scaler to see if we can detect the hidden micro magic.

I consider it to be unfortunate that our eyeball view when looking up is so limited.

A moon, four planets, an occasional comet, around 6,000 stars, a haze of our own galaxy, and a smudge of one other galaxy.

Abell 3266 Astronomers discover physics-defying shockwave in faraway galaxy

Fossil remains of a black hole's past feeding frenzy, a plasma shockwave that defies physics, and a halo of radio energy are discovered deep within one of the largest galaxy clusters in our sky.

Webb’s Jupiter Images Showcase Auroras, Hazes – James Webb Space Telescope

Yeah, but the red spot isn't even red. And this is with infrared imaging.

I'm surprised you can get images this good with stacked images from a Celestron C8.

Interesting little article about how and who processed the Webb images from raw data available to the public.

Jupiter's auroras look radiant in new James Webb Space Telescope images

The impressive images were processed by a citizen scientist.

James Webb images were made to look beautiful | Milena Ivanova

The recent images from the James Webb Telescope were deliberately made to look beautiful by NASA. The telescope itself can’t even detect visible light – the colours of the images were chosen by the astronomers. So was this just a cheap marketing trick on behalf of NASA? Milena Ivanova argues...

Has the Webb Telescope Disproved the Big Bang Theory? - Slashdot

"The very first results from the James Webb Space Telescope seem to indicate that massive, luminous galaxies had already formed within the first 250 million years after the Big Bang," reports Sky and Telescope. "If confirmed, this would seriously challenge current cosmological thinking."...

science.slashdot.org

According to Big Bang theory, the most distant galaxies in the JWST images are seen as they were only 400-500 million years after the origin of the universe. Yet already some of the galaxies have shown stellar populations that are over a billion years old. Since nothing could have originated before the Big Bang, the existence of these galaxies demonstrates that the Big Bang did not occur...
