These images are stunning, beautiful, and humbling.
Contemplating the vastness and incomprehensible size of the universe, knowing that those images we see may no longer exist due to the sheer almost incalculable distances the light we see now happened billions of years ago... Well, it puts a little bit of perspective of how irrelevant we as the human race are in that grand scheme, and how senseless so much of the struggles we go through, much of which is driven by greed and power in the shortest of short blips of time. It seems almost pointless when you look up at the night sky. These telescopes only reinforce that notion.

I couldn't understand why they would name this after the Virginian Jim Webb who was Secretary of the Navy. This one is a different one. Yes the pictures are total knock outs. Nice to know our fellow sapiens can still do something right.

JWST is just mind blowing, we're looking back in time to when the universe began and we're only getting started.
What I can't wait for is when Webb studies planets looking for signature's of possible life which it's capable of doing.

NASA’s Webb Confirms Its First Exoplanet Lee esta historia en español aquí. Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter. The research team is led by Kevin Stevenson and Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, both of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-webb-confirms-its-first-exoplanet
