Can someone explain this thing to me? I don’t think my brain has been able to comprehend what it is capable of.

Crazy that this is real.  For scale, the article says that the peaks that jut out are apparently 7 light-years long.  Very humbling.

When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

Real talk though? Life begins at conception.

 You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

Space and astrophysics are so fucking insane. It operates at a scale most humans genuinely cannot comprehend.

Might have to rewatch Through the Wormhole again.

I'm no astrophysicist and am definitely not qualified to properly answer this question, but basically it's a much beefier version of the Hubble Telescope, and instead of just orbiting Earth like Hubble it's orbiting the sun.

Checkout Hubble's extreme deepfield image vs Webb's...
Hubble


Webb

The clarity of the Webb's image and the detail is breathtaking... The starbursts are odd tho. Wonder how they explain that.

Apparently caused by the 3 struts holding the secondary mirror

What even is skateboarding these days in the grand scape of this amazing ass universe that we are less than a speck in??

An amazing way to make the best of being an insignificant speck.

So when we look at this picture, is this still all shit within our own Milkyway galaxy? Or is it actually all stuff beyond and outside of our galaxy?  That shit always gets me, there's a trillion stars in the milkyway and then there's a trillion other galaxies outside ours or something yeah?

I read that everything in this photo that is a flat/oval shape is a separate galaxy.  That is mind blowing to think about.
