A small image that conveys vastness ...

[Vormotus]

Guys! I love you all!

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!



Today I was with my small group discussing an image I found on the net that made us sit around the screen and just talk for a while ... :)


Perhaps , even if only one of you sees it , my hope is it might entice some of the same feelings some of us had on this side of the world!

A small gift to one, a visual curio to another , a quick glance by some or even a boring image to others, it does not matter but still something I want to share

Super hug to all of you!

Scale is wildly off. Sun is 93m mi, Neptune is 2.7bn mi.

Wow that is cool af! Thanks for sharing.

And there is ... MORE!

Same idea, different visualization ... love this ... so good.

Glad some of you enjoyed it! :)

That's better.

Cool but where is the new JWST deep field?!?! I figured that would be like the first thing they do. Bunch of nerds can't even use their own telescope right!

[nostalgiaquest]

Gets even crazier when you realize that only about 7% of the matter in the universe has coalesced into stars and the vast majority is in the form of different gasses that are only observable in wavelengths like infrared and X-ray. Begs the science questions of not only how do stars form, but also why don’t they.

The scale is logarithmic. Clicking on the source link explains.

Get your commie metric system out of here.

In this country we divided 12's into %'s when we want accuracy.

at 5pm ET today the president will reveal the first image from the james web telescope.

The reason the president is involved in this announce is because were a little over 2 years into his inauguration.

And 3 and a half years into his 8 years as president (according to islamic eschatology that we went over last night reiwa!) Jesus will appear, and reveal that all of Christianity is wrong about him and he's just an alien who got sucked up into space after we tried to kill him and we should all be ashamed and he starts a war.

[Jibartik]

20 minuets!

Get ready to see the first images of aliens!

hey check out the picture LOL

JK thats hubble space is flat what a bunch of bullshit.

[Jibartik]

What did biden say at the end?

"that's amazing I wonder what the freshk like in those other places."

Did he blurt out the name of the reptoids species? The Freshk?

The FRessshkkk... I bet they sound like the iksar.

[robayon]

i am sure this fresh deep field image will solve all of america's problems

it's like trying to fix a sinking ship with paint

press. he kicked out the press right after that.

So they think the big bang happened 13.8 billion years ago.

This image is of light from 4.6 billion light years away (its 4.6 billion years old basically)

and they also say the webb telescope is capable of seeing light up to 13.5 billion years from as it travels further into space.

What I wonder is if it can see 14 billion years ago, will it be looking at light, before it was light?

Will it be seeing past through the big bang, at the space that occupied the universe before the universe was the universe?

I wonder this.

Also if the Freshk are our overlords, and overlords of many other planets out there that uncle joe wonders what they are like over there.

[Ooloo]

Anyone else watching the nasa stream right now with the crazy nasa woman that looks like dave mustaine?

[Jibartik]

Funny all the pics they are posting look exactly like the CGI from 2005 TV space documentaries.

Space is fake.

[nostalgiaquest]

Image of Stephan’s Quintet. 5 galaxies, 4 of which interact. The left galaxy is actually much closer to us than the rest of the group. These colliding galaxies are pulling and stretching each other in a gravitational dance.

More than 150 million pixels and is constructed from about 1,000 image files.

This shit is pretty stunning.

[Ooloo]

It's beautiful but also a little terrifying when you consider the sheer scale of what you're looking at. Even just the background is fullllllll of entire distant glaxies just chilling there... you can find the full-res versions of everything from today on the nasa website.

[nostalgiaquest]

yeah the scale of it is mind bending. My girlfriend is an astrophysicist with ESA that studies star formation and galaxy clusters, so I hear a lot about it. My eyes gloss over when she gets too into detail, but it's fun when friends come over and pick her brain on stuff. Infrared isn't her bread and butter, but she's still super stoked on these results.

I'm just really happy the fucker didn't crash. That would have been depressing.

[Ooloo]

Yeah, the whole launch and everything was pretty nerve wracking.. like 20 years of R&D down the drain if anything went wrong. Luckily so far apparently it's exceeding all expectations as far as performance. I wanna see an updated pillars of creation shot!

Doesn't the new one operate mainly in infared? That's helpful for a scientific instrument but might not be quite so good as Hubble is for producing beautiful images for public consumption.

Yeah but nearly every image of space you've ever seen is a composite of RGB filters, it's the same process. Webb *has* to detect infrared because the targets it wants to image are so far away the light has been redshifted beyond the visible spectrum (to humans). But because humans are real smart, we can translate that data into what they *would* look like in the visible spectrum if they were closer to us. Hubble's images of the same targets don't look radically different at all, just blurrier.

[Jibartik]

can they take pictures of planets with this thing? Like this one of pluto, but in another star system?

I wonder if it's all just a bunch of dirt and nothing else.

[robayon]

:cool:can they take pictures of planets with this thing? Like this one of pluto, but in another star system?

https://i.imgur.com/dwfqg5n.pngNo, that technology does not exist

[Jibartik]

Space? That much I agree.

[robayon]

Space? That much I agree.the ability to directly image exoplanets in high resolution. It doesn't exist yet. I would love to see some of it, but I doubt I will in my lifetime, whether I get another day or another fifty years

[Jibartik]

so all the images are just CGI and the earth is flat, got it.

[robayon]

if that's true a whole lot of other physics don't make sense, including chemistry

Probably made with Unreal CCP engine or Unity pre-made assets.

I could have told you that.

google, is dark mater fake?

Becaues it is, because thats what they need to make up to justify every single model of the universe they have.

:o

[Jibartik]

Satan.

He's trying to build his own version of us to prove he is better than god. But he is a useless fuckwit... so his only way to do it is to whisper in our ears to trick us to think we came up with it.
