Well I guess it’s nice to know if you were flying through space it would be nice to know that you would be crashing into hydrogen gas pillows. Look at it as night vision goggles

Unless the colors in the webb photos are the actual colors you would see in space, then what part of these photos are not fiction? Stick with the black and white images, please scientists, and stop guessing.

Beautiful are the works of Jehovah God and the credit goes to other. How grand is his power. And soon all will know the truth in his day. Read Daniel 2 verse 44 then read Revelations 12:12 . After he will wipe out the tears from there eyes. Revelation 21: 4 for the former things will pass away. Just as the proficiency of the fall of Babylon came true so will the proficiency of Daniel 2:44 were living in the days of those kings. In Timothy chapter 3 verse 1 through 5 explains these last days. Turn to Jehovah in the name of the son Jesus Christ. He will show mercy just as the loyal love he showed king David. And the woman Rayhab who Jehovah not only spared her but her entire family from ruin.
