I wonder if we’re going to end up with most of the images being full of gravitational lensing because of all the galaxies and black holes between us and the extremely far-off stuff. Like, everything more than 8-10 billion light years away looks like we’ve viewing it from inside a swimming pool looking at the sky.

Honestly, probably but that's not a bad thing because we can at least use that to grab the light from behind the objects

I'm still in awe. Like, in that tiny little speck, there's so many galaxies. There's so many possibly habitable (at one time, maybe now!) planets. I can't stop looking at this picture

It’s mathematically proven there have to be, by sheer chance, another massive set of balls out there. Waiting to be photographed.

I'm hoping the very very smart people in NASA will be able to calculate the right values to unwarp those effects and produce cleaned up data. I mean, that has to be a very predictable reasonably simple visual effect, right?
My extraordinarily basic understanding is that things get extremely complex and weird at the medium sized, micro and quantum level, but poo poo is fairly simple at the giganto-size.

Apart from black holes, which are still weird.

if we find other life, we shouldn't try to talk to them. they would probably stand in front of the telescope with their titties out because they don't know anyone is looking. if we introduce ourselves, they'll know and close the curtains. then goodbye alien titties.

yeah that was what hit me. On the surface it's not that different from computer generated speculative images I've seen but then I went "Oh right this is an actual image from an actual telescope of actual real galaxies" and had to stare off into space for a little bit.

The NASA rep said the area of space in the image is a grain of sand at the tip of your finger, with your arm extended. Just a teeny tiny speck of space, and all that cosmic wonder is in that tiny area.

I'm pretty sure that everything you see in that picture is a galaxy. like even the really bright star-lookin' things are just foreground galaxies.

they're not a fuzzy blob because they're too bright and have blown out exposure. and if there had been a star in our own galaxy in the way, we wouldn't be able to see any of that stuff



(I don't know 100%, but that was the case with hubble ultra-deep field pics)

yeah, that's the best part. You're like "Oh, all those spirally things are galaxies." Then later you think, "Oh wait. Everything else is galaxies too. It's all galaxies."
