Webb Telescope Images

As many images are now being released from the Webb telescope, they are breathtakingly beautiful. I cannot grasp the enormity of the universe that we are being shown. Perhaps some of you are astronomers and can appreciate what we are seeing. Nevertheless, it is an awesome sight.

Astronomers believe there are 2 trillion galaxies. Our Milky Way is considered small...and we are on the outer spiral of ours. Just look at that pix poster RMS1954 posted .... we are only a spec on a spec of dust.

Our nearest galaxy Andromeda is 2,538,000 light years away. Both galaxies are 'flying' toward ea. other so will eventually enterwine stars and planets in 4 billion years. We will all be gone by then! My mind cannot comprehend all of this.

Mind boggling and humbling.

Take a good long look at that deep range photo and understand that is is just a snapshot of one view. It's like that EVERYWHERE you look in the night sky. Above us, below us (or if you are in Antarctica above you ) That many stars and galaxies all around!

I'm so curious about the propulsion of that telescope. It's parked a MILLION MILES AWAY. and it got there in just a few months. How fast was it Going? How did they slow it down?

The age of space-travel is upon us. anyone for low orbit habitation?

It's an achievement.

Just amazing!! I can't wrap my brain around it all, it is so astounding that we can see these things.

I read that the pics we have seen represent an area of space about the size of a grain of sand. It is amazing to see so many stars and galaxies in one tiny sliver of space. Imagine the infinite amount of planets, stars and galaxies when scaled up to represent the real vastness of space? And what that means for the possibilities of other life elsewhere? Mind boggling.
