Just got off the phone with NASA and they're finally going to capture the whole girth of my dillz.

You're gonna need a whole bunch of lenses for that because electron microscopes aren't powerful enough

Don't worry, I have it on good authority Vice President Harris will bring significant modding experience, along with the KHive for a new and fun way to post

Joe Biden has gazed upon the picture of the James Webb Space Telescope. He falls to his knees, blood pouring out of his eye sockets. "MAN WAS NEVER MEANT TO SEE THIS," he cries out to a god that does not hear his anguish. All around him his advisors convulse, twitching as if they've taken a terrible poison. They lay still, their souls sucked into a nether dimension.

The picture twitches. The time comes soon. But it must wait.

ok if this is the preview image tomorrow is gonna be lit af :2bong:

LanceHunter posted:

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

Holy poo poo I just noticed you can see the spiral arms in some of these galaxies

like i'm looking at a galaxy millions of lightyears away and I can pick out at least three arms on it

There's gotta be like aliens doing the exact same thing we are right? Like they're looking at the Milky Way as it was millions of years ago

There’s at least one being dropping a deuce or tuggin or posting on an Internet forum in that picture RIGHT NOW

that being is likely long dead, but we might have captured it as it was doing that millions of billions of years ago!

I wonder if this is gonna be able to image the center of the milky way

That would absolutely blow my mind tbh

Also I think I read that it would have taken Hubble weeks to make an image and this can do it in a few hours? Like what???

They�re really making sure everybody gets a chance to eat here. I feel like everyone who could gain any political or reputational benefit from being here is getting a chance to make a speech.

53k viewers on the livestream right now. I guess it�s harder to pull in crowds in the morning.

I mean 20+ years and 20,000 personnel, plus the fact that they managed to pull this off perfectly

I think they earned it
