I'm beginning to think they embargoed these images so completely they didn't rehearse this at all.

So apparently space is just like a 'clean' tank of water but ever time you look close you see specks.

Except those specks are entire galaxies.

I want our first hint of alien life to be a Kardashev III civilization that makes a whole galaxy blink like it's talking about George Bailey. Too far to harm us...or help us. But just right to freak us out.

This Webb galaxy image is of the same galaxies used in "It's a Wonderful Life" I was referencing here. Nifty!

I remember when black holes were an accepted, but unproven, theory, and no one had ever captured actual hard evidence of one.

Now we're catching the accretion disks in infrared.
