    It is strange to almost come to tears at something as simple as some smudges on a screen.
    But there is something awe inspiring about the existential vastness of our universe. The incomprehensible size and age of it all.
    But more than that, it is the fact that humanity has found a way to reach that far. To make an instrument to see that vastness, to understand it.
    Most of the time the internet only makes me lose faith in our species. But this gives me hope.

Now that we know the power and potential this thing has, I am now starting a new chapter in what I can start looking forward to and that's what incredible things this telescope is going to discover.

    I was born in 1996, when the concept for the JWST was first put forth. I’ve always had an attachment to this fantastic machine. I did question whether or not it would launch for some time because of the delays and cost. But when that Ariane 5 finally lifted off, that was a good moment. Then when all the calibration photos started to be released. Those were great days. Then mere days after my 26th birthday. These stunning images were released. One of the best days of my life.
    I have two nephews who simply love space. They don’t quite appreciate what JWST means yet, but by the time JWST is retired, they’ll be my age. And they’ll know far more about the wonders of the universe than I do. And that means a lot to me.
    To the scientists who will work with the JWST, adventure boldly through the mirrors of gold, and bring back the mysteries of the universe you’ll surely uncover.

      It's not that it's consuming the galaxy really, it's more like there is a bunch of loose dust floating near the black hole that got a little too close and is forced into an extremely high speed orbit. Because of how black holes work, the gravity in one area of the orbit is stronger or weaker depending on how close you get to the black hole. This creates differential speeds for the dust (kind of like how the middle of Jupiter seems to spin faster than the top and bottom), and that creates a ton of friction between the gas and dust that orbits, like an absolutely insane amount of friction.
      So much friction that the heat generated can be seen as a giant blob of light coming from the black hole itself. The universe is just amazing with how these completely uninfluenced events just happen

      @@user-cg7tl You sound like a flat earther.
      If you want to argue semantics, Sure, these are computer generated images, because *YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM ON YOUR COMPUTER,* so yes, your computer generated them. Every picture you've ever taken with a digital camera or the camera on your phone is computer generated.
      "Computer generated" is not the derogatory term you seem to think it is.
      NASA does not "admit this publicly."
      NASA will tell us when something *_IS_* an artist's conception because we don't have real images because we don't have a film crew following a space probe all the way to its destination.
      NASA will tell us when the image is a composite (multiple smaller images put together to make a bigger picture). NASA will tell us when non-visible light was used to make the image, so that we know extra processing was involved. NASA will tell us when they are using "false color" to represent information less recognizable to our eyes.
      But these are not "artist renditions." These are images made by collecting infra-red light, converting that light into digital data (just like your phone's camera), sending that data to Earth, and converting the data into images we can see (just like your computer does with the image files you're looking at. An analogy would be a television camera taking an image, converting that image into a signal, the signal being sent to your your TV, and your TV converting the signal into an image. Do you insist on calling a TV image an "artist rendition"
      Sure, there is a lot of processing involved, because the image is made from *INFRA-RED LIGHT* that has to be converted, and made from lots of smaller images put together to get the resolution shown. "False colors" (because, again *WE CAN'T SEE INFRA-RED LIGHT* and, therefor, *INFRA-RED LIGHT DOESN'T HAVE ANY COLOR TO OUR EYES*) are used for two reasons, so the images aren't monochrome, and to provide more information without having to look at the raw data (for example converting temperature/wavelength into various colors.
      We have plenty of pictures of the Earth (and other planets and moons). Even if you insist on ignoring probe images and images taken by astronauts on the ISS because they are "digital images," we have plenty of actual film images taken by the Apollo astronauts with film cameras, both on the surface of the Moon and from orbit. Remember those Hasselblad cameras mounted on the astronauts suits?
      Or are you now going to tell me we've never been to the moon, or even orbit?

    The wonderful thing about space telescopes, they are the gift that keeps on giving! Not only did we gain the tremendous steps forward in terms of engineering, in terms of the complexity of remotely deployed objects and all of the communications and monitoring etc that entails, but now we get to see these tremendous heart-expanding images that speak so much about the wonder and mystery of our universe and a ready reminder of the small, fragile little bubble that we call home.

They listed vegetation as one of the things they’re able to look for. Does this mean we’re now better equipped to search for life on distant planets??? I wouldn’t care if all they found anytime soon was just microbes and things like algae or single celled organisms.

      Fact: nr.1: LUST AFTER ANOTHER`S HUMAN BODY AIN`T LOVE. True love is: LAYING DOWN ONE`S OWN LIFE /LIKE CHRIST DID FOR US/ SO OTHER`S CAN LIVE. THAT`S LOVE.
      Fact nr 2: Real CHURCH IS HUMAN BODY ITSELF, FOR GOD IS A SPIRTI AND DO NOT NEED A BUILDING MADE BY HANDS. Know all the facts there is to know, lest you still be DECEIVED.
      Fact nr. 3 Christianity was never a religion. It always been reality. It is time to fully understand that part. How come Christianity can and is reality? - Do some searching about FREEMSONRY.
      Fact nr. 4: Being in gender/sex (for me, both words means the same thing) has only one purpose: TO MULTIPLY aka create new generations of humans.
      Therefore if like you all stating, that gender and sex is changeable and optionable, then why not a single soul born without reproductive tools? and no, i do not mean here the "intersex" ones. for they born with confused body functions. That`s why they have both tools.
      And by trying to change a sex/gender - you are stealing another human`s tools. Someone goes to grave without these.
      Do not steal nor envy anything that another human have. But be wise and take care all that was given to you.
      Use a little logic and even you are able to list real and logical facts.
      If one leaves Christianity too easily, then sadly one haven`t had a clue, what is REAL CHRISTIANIY ALL ABOUT. That is fact nr 5.
      Give some time and some chances and another soul comes form atheism to CHRISTIANITY aka become a Christ follower. No money needed to follow CHRIST. but it does cost us a lot: FOLLOWING A CHRIST COST US OUR EARTHLY LIVES.
      Real Christian MUST BE WILLING TO SUFFER AND MUST BE WILLING TO LAY DOWN ONES`S LIFE, LIKE CHRIST DID FOR US, THE SAME WE DO FOR CHRIST.
      Real Christians must come out from BABYLON AKA MATRIX , not find ways to still be in there.
      Matrix is satan`s kingdom. How can you serve GOD in another`s god kingdom? - you can`t, you must make a chose: GOD OR MAMMON/SATAN? Whom you will serve? Where will you be forever: HEAVEN OR IN THE HOT LAKE?
      Didn`t you notice? i give 4 more facts. Copy these and remember these.
      Family betrayal is very real for ALL WHO FOLLOW CHRIST. in the tribulation period /7years long/ - Future for Christians: SUFFERING: HUNGER AND FREEZING, BETRYAL, MURDER, SHOT - STAB - BEHEADED. Even though we will truly suffer extremely on this earth - let`s rejoice, for out SPIRITS will be in HEAVEN comforted FOREVER. Why that extreme suffering? - BECAUSE WE WILL REJECT SATAN AND HIS MOTB.
      And also another way to get stuff cleared out: play little with words:
      CHRISTIANITY AND REALITY = BOTH END THE SAME. Last 3 letters in both words: ITY.
      Last Fact: CHRISTIANTY MUST BE SEEK`D OUT, FOR IT IS HIDDED AND MUST BE FOUND AND MUST BE FOUND INDIFIDUALLY. Lest we be deceived and stay counting on others opinions.
      Truth is truth and remains a truth - out feelings - wishes - opinions and beliefs DO NOT CHANGE THAT.
      Let not forget other LIFE FACTS: A MALE was created 1st, that = on man`s shoulder lays the most. For he, male, was created for working. And also the punishment of sin for a males was: toiling in sweat and pain. For a females was: ONLY BIRTH PAINS. Why? Because females were created HELPERS.
      Trans people and also many others, sadly deeply believe that HUMAN = ONLY BODY. -
      this is very wrong. Humans = CONSCIOUS SPIRIT BEINGS, WHO LIVE IN THE BODY.
      Life can be only then full of life, if all 3 parts are also: SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = HUMAN.
      A Spirit without body, can not taste food,
      do not feel rain on his or her skin,
      do not feel warm sunshine or colder moon light,
      do not feel cold nor warm.
      Spirit just is, not fully living. To have life and have it more abundantly: BODY WAS CREATED.
      Human body was 1st FULLY SPIRITUAL and shall be FULLY SPIRITUAL AGAIN. Carnal came, because of sin. Like Lucifer because of sin - lost his glorious way to be - the same happened with us.
      The reason CHRIST/ GOD came among us as on of us was: TO REDEEM US AND SHOW US HOW TO LIVE. Christ lived 33 years on this fallen earth and DID NOT SINNED. As HE was able to live and sin not, the same way to live are we able also.
      Stating otherwise = stating that CHRIST LIVED AND DIED IN VAIN.

    I got into space stuff as a kid and Hubble pictures were everywhere, especially the Pillars of Creation, but that picture is older than me, so I wasn't there to witness the release and news coverage. For my brain, it's basically always existed, which kinda means that while it's top tier among Hubble photos, it set a standard for me rather than exceeding some previous one. Now with the Cosmic Cliffs, and me witnessing this as a young adult, it's my turn to feel what I imagine space nerds must have felt when the Pillars of Creation picture was released. Except maybe even stronger, because the Pillars of Creation was taken like five years into Hubble's operation and the Cosmic Cliffs is among the first pictures to come out of Webb so we haven't even gotten used to Webb yet

Look back at the first picture ever taken and compare it to a modern image from today, the difference is staggering (as it is with the Hubble and will continue to be going forward) but the first picture will always have been more impressive to its peers at the time

      Context makes this so wonderful not bombasticness.
      A little thought experiment:
      Imagine you're an explorer trying to find new landmasses in the late middle ages. Now imagine you have a camera with you (or a real good artist if you want to make it more realistic).
      After weeks and months of tortures travel you finally spot in the distance a thin line on the horizon and realise that you just found new land in the middle of a vast ocean!
      You immediatly tell the artist to draw exactly what he sees and he gives you a picture of the vast ocean with a thin brown line where the horizon should be. The picture means the world to you. It symbolises an achievement that no one human can achieve on his own. It pretty much describes your heart project and ambition.
      Now you bring said picture back home to your friends and family. All they see is a blue picture with a thin brown line at the horizon. For them it's just a boring picture with nothing else to it but the idea attached behind it. For those who understand the context of what this picture symbolises and entails it means more then a thousand pounds of gold.
      This is what the Webb telescope means for all the people who worked on this and all the people who were wondering about the distant horizon and it's content, similar to the people back in the day at home wondering what their adventurous brother/sister/dad/friend/scientist might bring back home.
      This is why the Webb telescope makes grown men like me cry even if it's corny as hell ^^

      This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
