James Webb Space Telescope



Yeah totally get they're better & they're super impressive. But marketing I saw was all about "this will change everything" & I though wow I wonder what they're about to show.

Then yesterday I was thinking these are lush but really just much better res than we have. Gone from (for me anyway) blimey that's amazing to "oh wow you can see a bit more now". But did it change how I saw stuff? No.

I've read that these were done pretty quickly so perhaps real meaty stuff yet to come.
The details you can see are like looking through a grain of sand held at arms length. We're looking at 13+ billion years ago.

JWT uses a far wider spectrum than Hubble so it can detect mid range infra red light.

It can also provide data on the atmosphere of planets way into our galaxy
 
I was watching a video on YouTube where the scientists was saying that the images they are getting back are proving the big bang never happened.

Really? If true that's a funny one. What's more of a mindfuck?

There was nothing and then there was everything?

Or

There was no beginning?
