Is that an observer's year or the traveler's year?

Hopefully a travellers! Depends when we put the brakes on 😁

Beamed up

Then dropped on his head when they’d had enough and chucked him out of the hatch.

Imagine if they had chosen Youri as a representative example of humanity. They’ll never come back, that’s for certain.

Aye, that's the Fermi Paradox fettled - they took Youri off to their temporary base near Neptune and used advanced quantum computing to probe his mind in order to ascertain whether interacting with humans was possible or even desirable. Once said quantum computer started singing "Daisy, Daisy...My God, it's full of stars" after 10 minutes connected to his hypothalamus, they put us in Galactic Lockdown, slapped a banning order on Earth travel and then fucked off back to Andromeda sharpish. There is an obscure cult back on their home planet that worships him as a God - but they're usually written off as the "beryllium foil hat brigade"...

 

 

 

Meet Earendel, the most distant star ever detected 8 The star, imaged by the Hubble telescope, shone just 900 million years after the Big Bang

 

Intriguing that.

As sound can't travel through space, I wonder what it actually is that they are recording- some radio wave clearly and converting that into a sound?

 

Not quite space technology, but hypersonic weapons/travel research footage.

Don't blink.

 

Is that Rishton Lane?

Zico'll convert it into a battlenips.

The tit nebula.

Well the word galaxy does originate from breast milk, so they are in fact mapping out the oldest/biggest/most interesting tits in the Universe. Bit like Leigh White on one of his bus trips.

Scientists Say New James Webb Images Are So Powerful That It Was Emotional Just Looking at Them (futurism.com)

"What I have seen moved me, as a scientist, as an engineer, and as a human being," NASA's deputy administrator Pam Melroy told reporters.

They're doing a White House press briefing in an hour (10:30pm BST) previewing the first images from the James Webb Telescope. Full-colour images released tomorrow.

You can watch it live here:

Here's the youtube livestream.

Looks like you've made the right choice. The stream still hasn't started. Cunting Yanks.

At fucking last.

Fucking hell. The probability that we are alone in the Universe is virtually zero. I already knew that, but that James Webb image..... incredible. That image covers a single grain of sand if you held it at arms-length and looked at the sky. And that's only a preview.

It's amazing, just downloaded the 4k image and zooming in is mind blowing

 

can't wait for the rest of the images

Cheers Troy. Fucking mind-blowing. Can only imagine what they're going to capture over the next few years.

More colourful dots and swirls i imagine 

I find the images daunting 

I find it mind blowing theres probably gaffs out there just getting started, a few million years behind us.

I’m going to Burnley today, funnily enough

Could be or , even more mind blowing is that the image is how things were 4 and half billion years ago so could be well advanced of us by now. 
 

the fact the galaxies n the foreground bends the gravitational field of space so it can see objects behind it too makes my head fall off trying to figure it out 

fascinating
