Something to drive home how impressive this is - "If you held a grain of sand up to the sky at arm’s length, that tiny speck is the size of Webb’s view in this image."
- seedees 4y agoWebb's view of the universe? And how do we know :-/
- yrgulation 4y agoAnd in that view there are thousands of galaxyes each with billions of stars orbiting around. I so badly wish i had the money and time to spend it all on exploring the universe.
- wilsonnb3 4y agoAll the money and time in the world won’t even get you close to our closest neighboring star, which is literally a billion times closer to us than what we see in this picture
- yrgulation 4y agoI’d settle for a colony on europa or a planet wide city on mars - no need to terraform it, just seal the surface and build a vast controlled environment.
- ehsankia 4y agoI know similar calculations were done for Hubble's deep field, but we need to do it again here: count the number of galaxies in this photo, then multiply it by the area of the sky divided by the area of this image (I think it's 2.4 arc minute across?)
