Beautiful

brg2000.bsky.social•67 days ago

Serious question: how close are those colours to what a human would see with the ol' eyeball? Regardless, it's beautiful.

astrojaz.bsky.social•67 days ago

this is in mid-ir which is a wavelength we can’t see with the naked eye

brg2000.bsky.social•67 days ago

Like, not visible to the naked eye at all? I get we don't see in IR. Just really curious what it would look like when I drive by in my rocket.

astrojaz.bsky.social•67 days ago

the hubble version is in visible light so it would look similar to that!

minusoneisthelie.info•67 days ago

If you understand how many eyes your parents have you can also observe their context as "the speed of light" is 1+1+1+1 words that go without English, even for grasshopper hops: 1+1 grasshoppers ≠ -1 point ≠ 1+1 legs, #now; 🌌 "are smaller than 1+1 human eyes"👀🚦🍉+🍉=✌🏽

the eye of the storm!

lsstern.bsky.social•67 days ago

wow!

asilversong.bsky.social•67 days ago

This might be a dumb question but why does this image have 8 reflection points? Most of the JWST images have 6 I thought because of the lens structure??

mariannehardman.bsky.social•66 days ago

The image may actually have 10 reflection points. Front and back or North and South points.

astrojaz.bsky.social•67 days ago

jwst actually has 8 spikes, it just looks like 6 cause the two center ones are faint!

asilversong.bsky.social•67 days ago

THAT’S SO COOL I HAD NO IDEA thank you!!!

glenndavid711.bsky.social•67 days ago

Amazing. Just amazing.

All these amazing JWST image a need a good "explainer", Similar to what Rob Swanda https://scientistswanda.bsky.social has done for virology and other areas of science.

nostradammit.bsky.social•67 days ago

Spectacular! 😳

totality3d.bsky.social•67 days ago

Stunning! 🤩

"God's Eye"

cd-eps.bsky.social•67 days ago

How far away is that ?

tws1701.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's about 76 million light years away ( according to google anyway ).

cd-eps.bsky.social•67 days ago

Incredible to consider distances like that

Is the bright light in the middle a quasar?

angryjoeismad.bsky.social•67 days ago

What if dark energy is just time speeding up in the absence of mass in the voids between galaxies?

nowings4me2b3.bsky.social•66 days ago

That’s me in the middle, but I’m not insane ( honest 🤞) 🤪😂😂🫶✌️🌟🙏

anti-veg.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m pretty sure I visited there during my Astral projection while I was asleep last night. Very cool downtown, don’t miss out of the Thargoid Specialty Cake shop in sector 16

Beautiful

alb260158.bsky.social•67 days ago

superbe

chariotof3.bsky.social•67 days ago

As beautiful as the Galaxy is. The starburst is through a human-made lens. Perspective how we see it.

islandboy1976.bsky.social•67 days ago

🎵God is watching us, from a distance🎵

danieldavidallen.bsky.social•67 days ago

Gyat damb the universe is amazing.

You know nothing danieldavidallen 😄

From the game of the thrones

hardknocks.bsky.social•67 days ago

I suppose everyone sees these images as familiar objects. This one looks like an eye.. a lot of them look like eyes, or animals with eyes.. and limbs.
Since Hubble, these deep-space images just get more bizarre.

adamarellano.bsky.social•67 days ago

Right. Ok but WHICH Leroy? Jenkins?

zanfer.bsky.social•67 days ago

Just A Leroy

22burnsie.bsky.social•67 days ago

I can’t fathom how impressive and beatify this image actually is. Like, I can’t grasp what that really is

astrojaz.bsky.social•67 days ago

it’s a galaxy in mid-infrared!

danvend.bsky.social•67 days ago

Wow!!!

zajec.bsky.social•67 days ago

I wonder if it’s a nice place to live cause earth is going to be fucked soon..

cammieracing.bsky.social•67 days ago

I feel like every shot through JWST takes should be accompanied by a shot taken with a home telescope. It'd really give some perspective for how powerful the JWST is.

alexjs.dev•67 days ago

This is a great idea. You just can't get the same level of details from ground based observatories and telescopes.
