Nasa’s Webb Delivers Deepest Infrared Image Of Universe Yet by Elluminated: 12:13am On Jul 12, 2022
Unfolding the Universe
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.

This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.

The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.

This image is among the telescope’s first-full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT, during a live NASA TV broadcast (15:30 p.m. GMT+1).

It's impossible to say there's no other civilization out there.

If ever a civilization is discovered out there NASA will never make it public. It'll be a top secret and classified information only for world powers and some US top military personnels.

Such information will totally destroy the largest earth religion.

Just thinking of the fact that there are millions of habitable planets out there in the universe with various levels of civilization, it's astounding.

What's the big deal about these images❓❓


I can only be wowed if the telescope
is able to show aliens or their spacecraft❗️❗️☹️

We may never be able to develop the technology to go there if there was any sign of life outside our own solar system.

Unless we find a way to make man immortal, then we can always design systems that travel at the speed of light , capable of withstanding the G forces that will result. Then at least we will be alive when we get to the destination


Maybe an AI consciousness might be the first interstellar traveller.

These things always make me think deep. Imagine if nothing exists in the first place.

As in nothing! Not that there is something somewhere else. Hmmm...

Meanwhile the universe is big. I learnt the robot that was released into space in the 70's is still going.

Where e de go?
