First amazing image from James Webb Space Telescope

[mapuc]

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.

It's a breathtaking image. Are looking forward to the next image.

And here's a GIF comparing the JWST image to that taken by Hubble of the same region:

It's going to awesome once they fine tune that machine. Hope they can reduce or get rid of those diffraction spikes though.

Puts things into perspective.



What miracle if these many places would brim with other intelligent life.


What horror if there would be no other than us.

@ Thank you Dowly for posting a much better image.

@ You're right Skybird it truly put it into perspective

Your last sentence "What horror if there would be no other than us"
This reminded me of a friend belonging to JW who said "we are unique in the eye of the lord we are the only human in the univers"

My personal standpoint-There are thousands of trillions stars and thousands of billion planets don't tell me there ain't life on some of them.

This gives the next question-What is life ?

Does it has to have some kind of intelligent to be seen as life ?

No, one-cellular terrestric life forms are still life, its just that with one only cell alone you hardly can have a decent conversation.

The picture is the image from a time mahcine, the farther away from our psopition a galxy is, the more distant it is form us in time. Wre do not see what there is, we only see what there has been - millions and billions of years ago.

So even if there has been life out there, once - who says it still exists?

New sensational image from JWST!

Seems like JWST got another task

JWST will search the atmospheres of exoplanets for signs of alien life

Of course there’s other life forms in the universe. How do you think we got here? We were seeded here on earth and once we grow in population to the point earth can no longer sustained us. They come back and we’re harvested like tomato’s some of us are used for food others slaves. Of course they leave one male and one female each time to repopulate earth for the next harvest season. We call them gods, but from where they come from they’re just low wage immigrant workers from the planet Mehican

We call them gods, but from where they come from they’re just known as low wage farmers.

I have never doubt that there's life out there. However though more intelligent it is thou lower is my percentage

I don't know what things is called in biology.

But thou more cells it has thou lower is my belief.

Single cell Here I'm 110 % Sure there's life out there.

Multi cell(like us human)5 % Sure that there's intelligent life out there.

Now what no one has asked when searching for life in the universe.

What is intelligent ?

Are we the human intelligent ? Yes we are called Human sapiens sapiens. meaning human the wise.

Can we use our intelligent standard when we should meet another race ?
