Wrong all over.
Check the other comments, they are def not the same.
The condescending and cynical tone also destroys any inquisitiveness. "Lay" people can absolutely tell the difference.
- supernova87a 4y agoYou're taking me a little too literally, I'm not saying that the public is being duped. Of course this is a new image from JWST. And this comment isn't really for general public consumption or to deflate the general public's enthusiasm for the achievement. I'm just saying that the field benefits from new discoveries that seem just like old discoveries being embraced by the general public even though they won't really know the full difference or underlying science. I think every field has this to some extent. So, ok, here you go -- I will take you up on your challenge. Which one of these is from the UDF 15 years ago, and which is from today's announcement? https://imgur.com/a/kga5CxY https://imgur.com/a/kga5CxY https://imgur.com/a/Wf1vHio https://imgur.com/a/Wf1vHio
- lovehashbrowns 4y agoYou're taking all the context out of the two pictures. These pictures are not viewed in isolation. This post is full of comments of people asking questions about things like the gravitational lensing. And the picture will then end up in videos like these https://youtu.be/oAVjF_7ensg https://youtu.be/oAVjF_7ensg which gather millions of views and which help educate people on what the picture means and why it's significant.
- supernova87a 4y agoI could’ve just as easily chosen lensing images from both telescopes. Look the thread is getting lost here. Let’s just call it a day on this random thought.
- checker 4y agoI'm going to guess the first is Webb due to the mirror pattern (but that's cheating and your larger point stands).
