No it's a giant black hole we're all going to die

I lost faith in humanity long ago, tarnished. Their words cannot effect me any more.
May golden showers be upon you.

The fascinating thing is that we see the stuff that happened millions years away. If there existed any civilization before somewhere there - it might be extinct on the photo.

Explore JWST’s first image in full resolution!
Pan and zoom into the new image on a sky map using AAS WorldWide Telescope.

This gives a lot of perspective to the image doesn’t it?

The overlap with Hubble’s image that took weeks to get also is pretty telling. So many galaxies that were much older and redshifted now appeared out of nowhere with JWST, in only 12.5h exposure!!!
Next years of deep field astronomy observations is about to be fucking insane

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
There’s probably still towns where they would set you on fire to be honest for saying that.

All the time from cosmic dawn to recent in one picturethe time aspect is just mind numbing
The images in the lensing are the universe lighting up in the background.

The image, and the technology behind it is amazing. I wish we prioritized space exploration to the point where we have 20 of these things running around taking pics.

I wonder how many different alien civilizations there are out there like us. I can imagine meeting these strange species and what type of porn can be produced from them.

I want to believe.The image leaked early. Spoiler for those who don't want the surprise ruined.

Don't tell Twitter that the gas thingy didn't seem to move, obviously fake.

I think we should lobotomize Flat Earthers. It'll make them smarter.

A bit harsh. I'd rather sterilize them so they cannot contaminate the gene pool, but I think humanity is already screwed on that end.

Fucking insane.
And to think this is just a tiny area of the sky. Not sure where..but it's almost unbelievable the amount of galaxies that are/were out there. Staggering.

And they're ALL empty. Nothing out there at all. Trillions upon trillions of empty planets. /s

Cosmic Dawn
One of the most important gaps in our understanding of our Universe’s history is the “Cosmic Dawn.” The period from about 50 million years to one billion years
www.colorado.edu
While the James Webb Space Telescope, the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, and a suite of ground-based facilities will observe the universe as it was just ~150 million years after the Big Bang, none now contemplate observing the true first stars and black holes. The most promising method to measure the properties of these first objects is the highly-redshifted spin-flip background. The “spin-flip” transition of neutral hydrogen emits a photon with a rest wavelength of 21-cm (or frequency 1420 MHz). This signal, while generated by an extraordinarily weak hyperfine transition, is nevertheless observable because neutral hydrogen pervades the universe at the onset of the cosmic dawn. Several ground-based instruments, such as the hydrogen epoch of reionization array, hope to observe the reionization era by the end of this decade. But probing the first stars, at much earlier times, is possible if we can reach very low frequencies (<100 MHz). A lunar farside radio telescope will open a unique window to this era.

Absolutely amazing shit. I love cosmological exploration and astronomy, but at the same time I'm sad because I was born too soon and there's so much humanity (if it survives) will find out that I'll never know. I just hope we can get some kind of confirmation (or at least strong evidence) of life elsewhere in the universe before my time is up.

Waste of energy thinking you'll find life with a telescope.
We really can't comprehend how big space truly is.

They're able to detect deeper wavelengths than Hubble in only a couple of hours and they're just getting started 
. Already beating Hubble's Ultra Deep Field and setting the new benchmark for deep field images.
The James Webb Ultra Deep Field image is going to be FUCKING INSANE !!!
In addition to the fact that they're going to open new chapters in astronomy because the data streams from James Webb is so good. Being able to study the spectra of distant galaxies to determine the chemical compositions of their star forming regions, not to mention the good data they're getting from the spectra of exoplanets.
Exoplanets alone will create new fields of study. Webb is not only going to re-write the textbooks, its going to be the start of whole new chapters.
They need to aim their lenses at the closest exoplanets. I'm sure the data will be even better.
Fucking set Webb on Proxima B... NOW !!!!
If they detect methane, woo boy. It will be squeaky bum time

Pretty sure I already observed this years ago. Red-eyed Tony Hawk sessions delivered more than just a spin flip.
The new images should have been what they showed as the first image. They're far more impacting and beautiful IMO.
While seeing into the deep and origins of the universe is my favourite, seeing the detail on that double star was in the nova was incredible.
Makes me hope that it can be turned to Spica and other multistar systems to get photos and accounting.

The looking back, while important, is just more of the same. It's so expansive it's unlikely to look any different as you peer further back/away.
The close up money shots will give us more inspiration and details for our expenditure while keeping the public invested science budgets well spent.

Cosmologists are suggesting there may be some exotic discoveries in the depths of time. It does end up looking different as there was a beginning suggested by CBR.
It's interesting to consider what those discoveries could be with the conditions of the early universe when it was first forming matter and stars. Quite different that what can even be seen in the depths of Webb.
An added goal to get humanity to the Moon.
