Pfft - I saw on the doorbell thread that @Jobbo’s own web telescope was now fully operational too.

My god, Eight Legged Freaks was a documentary!

It's at times like these that I am reminded of the Tintin book, The Shooting Star.

I can't tell if that's for real, or if it's a drug fuelled recreation/modification.

That is an actual page from The Shooting Star. And the telescope strip is also actually from it.

Drugs. All the drugs.

As usual - comments are awesome

That's a damn amazing pic

I've got no idea how they actually get photos like that, but it's so impressive. The colours, the details... Space is just mind boggling.

That is absolutely mind blowing

Colour is from looking at non-visible light wavelengths (eg Infra red) and making them visible to us hoomans. Detail is James Webb

Not working for me.

Very exciting news! (potentially)

I've always said that what with the sheer number of stars and planets in the universe, the chances that none of them contain life, and none of _them_ containing intelligent life, are unfeasible small. It's just a matter of time till we detect them.
