NASA releases first image from $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope

The first image from NASA’s new space telescope unveiled Monday is brimming with galaxies and offers the deepest look of the cosmos ever captured.

Put one grain of sand on the tip of your finger and hold it at arm's length. The amount of sky now blocked to your vision by the grain of sand is the amount of sky the telescope surveyed for this photograph. Through a column 13 billion years deep. Those are some photons.

This is incredible. Looks like the $10 billion was well-spent. This type of technology will introduce an entire new generation of discoveries in astronomy.

Why is there so many negative comments about the amount of money spent, The military has spent an insane amount of money on weapons yet no one complains about

[palite]

I cant stand the negative comments on this SPECTACULAR shot! This is astounding, life changing and should give you HOPE! Great job NASA, the other shots are gonna be amazing, i can’t wait to see them!

لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ(سورة غافر).(٥٧)👍🏼
Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of humanity, but most people do not know. [Chapter Forgiver].[57]👍🏼

Can we get a close shot of the nearest stars with their planets if any ? How about that ?

[PatchesOHoulihan]

Can you tell me about the continuum transfunctioner? *The universe only exceeds by its power* !

[KeithWickliffe]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

$10 bilion? I had already seen this same image in the Superfriends cartoon in 1983!!

What we truly discovered is that we are pretty much left to ourselves on this tiny planet called Earth. This alone should end any war!

[xaltideinvader]

Can somebody please help me understand what he actually said in 20 seconds of the video ?

[raza]

So everyones gonna thank the people who made the image possible but no one dares to thank the One who made the acutal scene

[shubotube]

Is it possible to see real dinasaurs in our earth from the telescope? Just curious 😄

[GameplayUploaded]

we're not alone that's for sure.

[dirtydogg]

We are basically looking into the past. Millions of years actually, WOW!!

[ThatOneWolfCollie]

this is how big the universe is and theres a lot more to find. Still think were alone?

[Pinkielover]

Meanwhile in the same state they're getting these images, , I live homeless, starving and hot as hell 112 today you go to the state homeless shelter you can't even get in over 1000+ people waiting outside Overflowing into the field next to it and nearby surrounding area... All waiting on a waiting list to even ge a bed it could take weeks to get in or months and we're worried about stupid pictures for someplace we are never going to go...People are suffering in our country and we're worried about pictures .. the multi billion dollars for the satellite and to upkeep it Could literally end homelessness in our country or at least help .. This is literally to keep the rich richer, ,only people working on a project are pretty well off..Ensuring they keep milking the government.. I agree in exploration, , but not when our people need help even More.. I'm not even looking for handouts I'm looking for work period It's pretty slim pickings in America right now if they hire you..But atleast I'm using a Public library..They got something right.

There is a lot of people in the comment who don’t know how astronomy works.They only talk like blah blah.

[StarTexaspets]

Sad to think it could just be us at war on our little ball...

Peace ✌ to all of you, regardless of politics/race/net worth
