There is likely no life in that image. Many of the stars in the photo had to die to form the heavy elements that life relies on.

There is no life in the image because human beings don't have souls, so when they look into the cosmos with their space telescopes, they cause the wave front to collapse into a lifeless universe full of raw elemental chaos that's tearing itself apart.

There are so many stars and planets in the universe that chances are there are multiple Earths out there that all have identical copies of all of us doing the exact same things we are.

The new image has all these red galaxies that weren't there before. Those aren't, like, some kind of evil anti-galaxies or anything right?

i like this bit i know there has been a case already where astronomers were able to use lensing to see a single star in a distant galaxy. these little bright dots in the smear could be individual stars?

The next photos to release (tomorrow?) are supposed to show something at 13.5B years ago. Or maybe that object is already in the current photo and they'll highlight it specifically, it wasn't clear from the statement. Anyway, we're pretty close to the physical limit of what we can actually photograph since the cosmic background radiation blocks everything at 13.7.

Bad Purchase posted: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. I asked the AI what weird alien titties looked like, and I don't think I can jerk it to this. I'm sure someone else could find a way. We are good at that.  Now, this, this I can work with.

how do these deep field images actually work? during the livestream, bill nelson or whoever the guy was that somehow looked even older and frailer than biden, said something in his rambling speech about every speck of light in the image being 13 billion years old. is that right? i don't know much about telescopes -- is the focus somehow set such that only things about that far away will be in focus and expose well? or is it that anything up to and including that distance is going to expose well, so a lot of the image could be galaxies much closer than 13 billion light years away? also, i know that it's an infrared detector, so they are looking for extremely red-shifted (originally) UV or visible light from very far energy sources, and so capturing a narrow wavelength range is one way they could ignore or filter galaxies that are closer. but, it's not like a nearby star from our own galaxy or a local galaxy won't put out a ton of IR energy too if it's in the telescope's field of view, even if it's not being red-shifted at all. how do they work around that... just have to point exclusively into regions where they know there won't be any local stars or galaxies in the field of view? e: basically what i'm curious about is what range of distances are actually shown in these images, because it seems fishy to me that they're all equally (~13 billion years) old.
