James Webb Telescope

[Ebo]

Mind blown over these images.

The light took 13 billion years to reach us so we are looking at stars and galaxies soon after the big bang happened.

Incredible

Great that the scope is working perfectly....looking forward to some incredible discoveries over the next 20 or so years, especially to do with exoplanets

Can we send all the Tories to one?

So will this telescope eventually get to the 'Big Bang'?

What happens after that

I think you mean before that...

I believe there's an image from Hubble which is pretty damn close to the BB, but James Webb is many many times more powerful than Hubble...so plenty of scientists are looking forward to what's soon to come...

Apparently, it has the potential to get to around 380,000 years afterwards, but then its impossible to see anything from there

I'm sure good old Proff Brian Cox will explain everything for us quite cogently on TV very soon....

A singularity caused by a black hole in another universe or a collision between two other universes , but of course , it could all be a simulation

I'm fascinated by all this stuff, but what I want to know Bryn, is can it see your garage door?

 

[BrynCartwright]

I thought the door was bust today, as it would not go down....but I had the fob thing upside down...! ...Hilarious....

Its an upgrade on hubble and the pictures are great but I'm not sure its going to answer any fundamental questiions like what is dark matter , which is 70 percent of the universe
The LHC is where those kind of questions might get answered
