Explore the deep, *deep* Universe in the palm of your hand. Or on your desktop. Whatever. I'm not your boss. But still, this incredible interactive JWST image of TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALAXIES is online and waiting for you to gawp at. www.scientificamerican.com/article/zoom... 🧪 🔭
The James Webb Space Telescope is gazing across the universe to find galaxies close to the “cosmic dawn”—and you can explore them from the palm of your hand
I remember looking at the first images of the JWST and zooming in, and in, and in in awe. I should do it again.
It's beautiful. And fills me with a mixture of awe, and bones-deep loneliness.
Euclid and James Webb now have a friendly rivalry for coolest wide field galaxy pics
One of my favorite games with these deep field images is “guess how many Milky Way stars are in this photo”
Would goats gawp if given galaxies to gander?
<jaw-drop.gif> Wowza!
I love that you can invert it and play around with the brightness and contrast right then and there. Thanks for sharing!
