Absolute gamechanger. This thing is going to change what we know about outer space. The next 10 years are going to be so exciting. This will be like the Hubble Deep Field times a hundred. Just for fun, here's a remarkable YT documentary on alien life, released a couple weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saWNMPL5ygk&t=1s

New Horizons, launched in 2006, is still operational and should be into the 2030s. That's the one that flew by Arrokoth, the snowman-shaped object in the kuiper belt. They've been looking for something else it could fly by but space is the most aptly named thing in history.

Happy to hear it's working out. I watched one of NASA's live streams (there are many!) the other day during mirror deployments and it was very tense. Nothing went wrong, I just like to stress myself out. All this stuff is so precarious. https://twitter.com/NASAPersevere/status/1479611931510013952?s=20

one thing that bowls me over about these Deep Fields is seeing the 2D images transformed into 3D This is essential viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfWYXY85mBk There's a similar effect at a campfire in a Brian Cox documentary called What is Time (if you can find it)

Pookah posted:My understanding is that the very old galaxies in the Webb deep field are extremely unlikely to feature alien species capable of rear end-destroying shits, simply because the higher elements required to build the bodies of aliens capable of rear end-destroying shits hadn't been created yet. Total amateur here but I believe you are right but it's also worth noting that every single spot on earth that we said "It's impossible for life to survive there" we found entire thriving and intricate ecosystems. Deep sea thermal vents, acid pools on top of volcanoes--those places we thought were entirely uninhabitable are exploding with life. That's why I believe life exists or maybe existed on Venus, Mars, Europa, Enceladus , Titan. And life still might come into existence on all those distant frozen bodies in our solar system as our sun heats up and expands over the next few billion years.

I just wanna share some dope videos from youtube. They're dramatized talks from famous theoretical physicist Richard Feynman in his wacky Queens accent. I think they're beautiful and if you felt some happiness today, you might love these videos too. Curiosity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmTmGLzPVyM Beauty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmbwczTC6E Honours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkv0KCR3Yiw I watch these all the time (mostly at 1:25x speed by this point). They're awesome and inspiring.

I think the Jupiter pics were just a test or calibration thing. NASA streamed this talk Wednesday and one of the scientists said they are going to be taking detailed pictures of Jupiter's cloud structures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyDONOJ3_rw

NASA is doing a live stream of the OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdwyqctp908 I've had it on 60 seconds and already the host's microphone is popping and buzzing. Reminded me of the JWST photo reveal broadcast. How are they so bad at livestreams? It's loving NASA lmao
