James Webb Space Telescope's amazing view of the Southern Ring Nebula - Zoom-in!

Travel about 2,500 light-year away in the constellation Vela to see James Webb Space Telescope stunning view of NGC 3132, the Southern Ring Nebula.

Its amazes me that there are things and events happened in our universe thousands and thousands years ago but we are looking at them now, its like time travelling and that is soo cool.

How's this for a thought: There are planets over there that, if you were standing on them and looked up, the Southern Ring Nebula is what you'd see in your night sky.

We’re not the only life out there.
there’s more..

The fact that a little photon of light can travel all that way, uninterrupted for thousands of years on a perfect path toward this device and be picked up to paint this picture for us absolutely boggles my mind. Seeing things this far away must prove light moves in particles not waves right? Because a wave would distort its path over that time whereas parallel particles could almost unanimously travel together?

Someone smarter than I please explain

When a spec of a dust is actually a galaxy with trillions of stars 🤯

Imagine if we had the technological ability to instantly go to a place like that…. We’re so restricted as human beings :( it sucks

How to know what to zoom in on next ❤️✌️

It's crazy we are looking at 30, 000, 000 years into the past.

1. How many of the white dots are galaxies vs stars?
2. How many years until a new space telescope can see inside the nebula in great detail/hi-res. I realize there a huge number of factors, but I was wondering if it's reasonable to assume 20 years from now? Main reason I'm asking is that I'm 61 and was wondering if I'd ever get to see inside the nebula, and other stellar objects that far out.

You know, before the war, before this damned war, when they took lives in the Donbass, when rockets flew into Ukraine, with anger. I wrote to you a simple guy from Nigeria, Sir Elon Max, you are a man, and yet I love you, and what have you done . You are a winner, I love you for the world that you have made and you are a human being, which means that you are my friend. To hell with the policy of the dog near the carrier should not know, but only the hope that a person will come, and this can be understood and forgiven, even terrible things, things that take lives. I am against blood, I am for peace, and I am Russian. Thank you.

We dropped a rap about the James Webb Space Telescope! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

More ways to connect the extraterrestrials thanks for the imagery

There are planets there. Dibs. Since nobody else see them.

But but but God created the earth in 6 days and it's only several thousand years old

Space is mind-blowing...we, earth, are but a molecule...why isn't Webb looking closer to earth for a possible secondary habitable planet since stupid humans are destroying this once pristine world?
