Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.

To my timeline!
Puts life in to perspective...always.
If that object is 13.6 billion light years away, then somehow Earth moved at least that distance in the same time span.
A bird flies to a steel moon, wipes it once with a wing feather, and flies back. When the moon has worn away, the first day of eternity starts.
What don't I understand?
Didnβt βtheyβ see evidence out there of another older universe with the JWT?
Itβs all a pretty marvelous view β¨
the big bang sounds like a good theory, other big bangs could have also happened in different places through weird geometry
sure something else might have happened, i don't really have a good reason for believing on some alternate one so i don't care
Science likes to try and figure out things, which is just fine, science isnβt too attached, if more proof emerges, science evolves.
The Higgs-Boson story is a good one, aka the god particle.
Good story to check out.
But science keeps particle peeping.
doesnt really go into how it happened, just that it did
easy mistake to make
Sow distrust in everything, including reality.
Sounds like someone who would like us to believe whatever is most comfortable, as opposed to what's true.
In this pic you see whole galaxies, suspended, millions of light years across, billions of stars within, and millions of light years to the nearest galaxy.
Whole galaxies, within ONE frame. By God, our troubles are insignificant.
But assuming youβre asking the bigger question, definitely in the top three to ask a superintelligence if the opportunity were to arise
(I am not a trained astrophysicist)
There are stars shining their light. Itβs not waste of space even if there are no intelligent life thereβ¦
Regardless, I'm not sure that a lack of verifiable life is the sole determiner if space is "wasted."
The same way there are other planets, suns, galaxies, there are planets with life.
It's just what the universe does.
Imagine throwing a handful of seeds into the air, the ones that land first, in areas with optimal conditions grow first/fastest some other seeds have not even landed yet, or are in suboptimal soil. Voila, maybe
Amazed and awed.
I often have to look away from images like this.
Light from the sun takes about 9 minutes to reach us
We see the sun as it was 9 minutes ago, not as it is right now
But doesn't that seem like it's got too many galaxies in it?
Somethin's up.
Think about this:
If a civilization just 75 million light years from Earth could see what earth looked like on the surface when they left travelling the speed of light, they would expect to find dinosaurs
And if they looked back at their home planet, it would appear unchangedπ½
That thing was already zooming around out there for about 9 billion years before Earth existedπ½
there's nothing wrong with assuming it did and referring to it for perspective but science isn't set in stone
To everything but us. Make every second count. To those you love. It's all you'll ever have.
It is interesting that the Bible. Has long taught that this very special time, signs would appear amongst the Sun, Moon and stars.
Interesting that the one who the JWST is named after bears the same initials as the people who trult attempt to follow Jesus Christ. >>
Jehovah's Witnesses, of course. The only people following Jesus orders to his disciples detailed at Matthew 10:11-15, and his final command, recorded for these times, at Matthew 28:18, 20.
That's who!
Who else but the God and Father of our rightful King, Jesus Christ.
My little brain hurts.
