How such beauty exists…no words can explain how it makes me feel 🌌🎇🎆🌌

They should have sent a poet or a storyteller.

>Experts are arguing about whether these overeager galaxies reveal something fundamental, and overlooked, in current theories of the early universe.

This is most exciting to me so far. How did galaxies form so early? Makes you wonder if space-time and the arrow of time were operating under a slightly different set of rules very early in the universe, and if that's so, the "age" of the universe might be totally arbitrary. Or maybe it's something else, who knows? Exciting stuff.

Kinda makes you wonder…..don’t it?

So many things are based on our understanding of that. There would be a lot of rethinking to do if the data is clear enough

I see an angry Patrick star running in the image

Is that a recent image from the James Webb Telescope? It's stunning (please tell me it's named the Ghostbusters Galaxy) Joke aside, is it one recently observed or is there a before and after JW comparison? I'm not really curious and try to compare quality, but it seems most of the images we see are often ones from well known shots (pillars of creation). Certainly for communication purposes, because everyone is familiar with it. But considering the immensity of the observable skies, how many more "pillars of creation" or "crab galaxy" are there waiting to be shown to the world? Or simply ignored because the spot for "cool space shot" is already taken?

Or we could just have it all totally wrong

Not only Can i assure you that it is a jwst image but i Can also tell you how to recognise them from hubbles : every shining star on a jwst photograph is surrounded by a 6 rays of light which are due to the hexagonal shape of its mirors. For hubbles i think it's 8? Anyway six is James Webb.

And for your second question jwst's near infrared and infrared spectrum allows it to see through gaz clouds and wayyyyy further in Space and Time than hubbles who's some kind of a giga dope camera, showing you basicaly what your eye would see through a lens as good as his.

Si it's not (only) a matter of communication because we only Saw the outside of, say, thé pillars of création. JW allows us to see it from the inside out !
