JWST Launches Today
Re: JWST Launches Today
15 years to build and a few months in space and it's already getting smashed up in the harsh conditions of Outer Space!

Well I don't know about that picture, but I did see that JWST suffered a micrometeoroid impact, but this type of thing was anticipated and not an issue.

Looking back in time 13 billion years...
I suppose some of those galaxies no longer exist physically, other than light travelling through the cosmos...
The clarity difference between it and Hubble is amazing...

What?? Impossible!! The universe was created just 2000 years ago (according to some “scholars”)

I really should do my own research instead of just believing facts provided by experts.
Re: JWST Launches Today
IIRC the redder the light, the older the galaxy so it's quite possible a few of those pictured aren't around anymore.

The official twitter thread explains the image a bit. The most impressive thing is that the picture took less than a day whereas the same from Hubble took weeks.
How about not having a sig at all?
