Closer to 30 MP image.

You can download these and view them in a photo app and zoom in about 50x the original image.

Absolutely incredible.

Yes, I'm geeking out.

The real-life scientist from Independence Day talks about the first Webb image:

Video: Webb telescope's first image relased by NASA - CNN Video

NASA has released an image from the James Webb Space Telescope showing the deepest view of the universe ever captured. The image shows SMACS 0723, where a massive group of galaxy clusters act as a magnifying glass for the objects behind them. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell explains why this is...

Same field, Webb vs Hubble:

When you consider what an advancement Hubble was over Earth-based telescopes it makes Webb that much more amazing.

The Hubble image (right) took several days of exposure to gather the faint light.

The Webb image (left) took only 12.5 hours to reveal a much more detailed image of the same light.

One of the videos I posted on the previous page tells us that the scientists who made the telescope had to polish the mirrors in such a way that they were actually deformed on Earth at room temperature but created a perfectly smooth surface in space at around -447 F (7 K or 7 degrees above absolutely zero). This avoided a repeat of the mirror distortion problems experienced on Hubble in the early days before the problem was compensated for with corrective optics. (more here about that: https://www.nasa.gov/content/hubbles-mirror-flaw )

I may be the weirdest nerd of the bunch but exploring this image in a photo editor has brought tears of joy to my eyes several times.

There are a couple of inscriptions that I write on the inside of every guitar that I build…including Psalm19:1 (as seen on the left)...and the different models I build are named after heavenly bodies, to honor the greatest Creator of all.
The concept behind “Two Hands Guitar Co.” is this: even though these guitars are created with my two hands…my hands are merely the tools by which the Spirit of God works through.
My role is truly this simple…to understand that I’m dancing with the Creator, and to realize that the gratitude I experience from this relationship is more fulfilling than anything ego (worshiping of self) can ever offer me. Every time we complete a new guitar and I hear it’s voice for the first time, I’m filled with the same wonder and amazement that I felt the first time I saw the rings of Saturn through a telescope for the very first time…which is that God is sharing a secret with me.

Love it. Sometimes I just like to be reminded of the wonders we humans can achieve when we decide to work together for a common goal and for the common good and I imagine a world in which we tackle all the problems we face in the same manner.

IOW, it isn't a vanity thing - it's more about our capability to overcome our evil side to accomplish great feats.

And so I'll add this one to it:


Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.


I also like this one:

Psalms 19:1-4
The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world.

NASA needs to hire a professional production team next go around.

If that quote isn't on your website somewhere it should be.

I think we're good unless we detonate a nuke in space.

This one looks like a painting. So beautiful.

This stuff is amazing and mesmerizing. All those galaxies which all have billions, maybe trillions, of stars, which may have billions or trillions of planets. In our galaxy alone there are estimates of tens of billions of potentially habitable planets. Look at all those other galaxies in these images with their tens of billions of potentially habitable planets. No way we are the only living sentient creatures in the universe.

It blows my mind to think that in these images could be other civilizations that we will never know about and they will never know about us.
