I woke up early for this... 😴🥴🤓

watching as well, though i didn't intend to wake this early

It was worth waking up early. Recorded my kids watching it.

It's history in the making. We have success! (so far)

Anyone else pumped for Artemis I later this year?

5/7 pumped

Which one is that, is that the asteroid mission?

And so far is everything going smoothly for JWST?

I think the secondary mirror has deployed successfully. 👍👍

I'm going to say it hasn't and this whole James Weeb microscope thing is fake news meant to distract us from the truth, while also holding the conflicting belief that it's both real and it's the elitist Liberals who are owned by the Jews setting up a weapon of mass surveillance to track people via their magnets that were injected via the fake covid vaccines because they want to take our guns away. Cos why not.

There's really no reason your crazy beliefs can't gel with my crazy beliefs...

It's a gay beam deployed by the space gays to turn everyone into the gays. That's why NASA is actually called National Anal Sex Administration.

In all seriousness, am excited to see what this thing is capable of picking up and showing us.

Didn't know it only has a planned service life of 10years, seems a little short lived considering the 10billion cost.

I think the launch was so smooth they think it'll actually last longer than 10 years. I thought I heard that, anyway...

You think of some of the other shit physicists and astronomers have done over the few years that barely made a rumble amongst the public. The LIGO observatory detecting gravitational waves for example. Veritasium done a great video explaining just how utterly ridiculously difficult it was. They explained that the stretching of space by a gravitational wave was so small that if the arms of LIGO were as long as the distance between earth and Alpha Centauri they'd be detecting a difference in that that is the width a human hair. So for the actual 4km length of the observatory's arms they were actually measuring a distance change of 1/10,000th the width of a proton.

Then there was the 1st photograph of a black hole at the centre of another galaxy. Its only when you see the zoom video of it that you appreciate how insane getting that image was.

Then there was the hubble ultra deep field

But my personal favourite is the gigapixel Andromeda Galaxy video. When you think in the context of the ultra deep field and its tiny section of the sky that contains tens of thousands of galaxies then you see what 1 single Galaxy contains in that every point of light is a star and huge numbers of those stars have planets...

Mind-blowing stuff

Thanks for the share.

So much we'll likely never know about. There being some other form of life is likely considering the sheer numbers of stars/planets, even if it's only bacteria or some other simple form of life.

But even if there is advanced life, they could still be millions or billions of light years away from us
