    Default Webb Telescope Images

    NASA started releasing images taken by their new Webb Telescope today, and they are fascinating.

    Really cool stuff! The large mirrors really make a difference. Hubble's Deep Field images required weeks of observations. The JWST image only took half a day.

    Yeah, 30+ years advancement in technology makes a huge difference.

    The comparisons between the Hubble image and the JWST one, superimposed one over the other, is fascinating and wonderful.

    I love space. I love space exploration. I'm so, so jazzed about the JWST working!
