No one denies these photos. Some have different views of how we got to this point, but that doesnt equate denial. Personally i find this just another proof of the devine magic of a creator. Science is just our human window from which we view creation.
The rest of the photos from the first drop will be revealed at 10:30am (see below). These photos will have a greater aesthetic wow factor for the masses. I'll be watching! https://www.nasa.gov/content/first-images-from-the-james-webb-space-telescope
I was referring to people that want to deny things like climate change or vaccines. It's fun to watch them marvel at scientific achievements and then deny science in another thread.
I’d like to see what everyday life would look like with the light that is outside humans visible spectrum. And colorizing for elements would be trippy AF.
Interesting comment. When it comes to the Universe, we have eyes, but cannot see. Or, not outside the visual spectrum / wavelengths. Unless one is a scientist with advanced equipment. Humans are so conditioned to the unique conditions of our adaptation to this sphere and the environment of this sphere that our perceptions and our interpretations of this Universe are quite wrong, at least for the layman. I have recently been considering the Universe from a different perspective, outside the optical wavelength and when one does its awe inspiring if not intimidating. VERY INTIMIDATING. Hominid evolution may be traced back 8 - 10 million years on a planet that is 4.567 Billion years old, in a Universe that is 13.7 Billion years old and WHO KNOWS what came before. A human lifetime is nothing on an Earth or Universal time scale. It is marvelous to have instruments that are just begginning to crack the very basics of where we live and what surrounds us. Webb is a Time Machine. A time machine that can see things that were unimaginable just 35 years ago. (Pre Hubble) Astronomy and the instrumentation around it is one of Humans more significant achievments, considering we are still basicly stupid barbarians. There is now discussion of 30 METER telescopes with multiple spectrum capabilities that will make WEBB seem like Huble, I hope one gets built. Thank you for your thread, compared to the worthlessness of the infinite partisan political threads, this one is of real interest......to me.
Angular resolution of Webb isn’t that much greater than Hubble. It has the ability to see things that Hubble can’t pick up though. Frankly, I think the full resolution images are stunning but YMMV.
I understand the Webb will provide an ability to see objects 13.8 billion light years away going back to the Big Bang. In addition, the diagnostic imaging capacity will help reveal planets with components capable of supporting life as we know it. Billions of galaxies exist in the universe with many more suns and planets. Stunning images revealed today with many more coming from a telescope 1 million miles away, amazing.
much has been learned over the last 25 years when WEBB was initially conceived. It is easy to imagine the quest for a newer bigger telescope has begun.
