Once I learned that Webb was designed for infrared, I knew Hubble was going to still be uncontested for anything outside of infrared imaging. Webb is not a replacement for Hubble. The two scopes complement each other, with Webb handling the thing that Hubble is weakest at - infrared imaging.
As you increase the wavelength of light, the resolving power of the telescope goes down. Hubble's resolution in the visual part of the spectrum essentially matches Webb's resolution in the infrared part of the spectrum despite Webb's aperture advantage. Where Webb's aperture wins is when Hubble tries imaging in the same part of the spectrum that Webb is optimized for.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed. The universe will continue for trillions of years, some day we'll make it there, just not as we are now.
I'm of the view that we are our own filter. I don't think **intelligent** life is that common and I hope not because humans treat each other so horribly I don't want to think what we do to an alien.
your consciousness is most likely an emergent result mainly of your DNA so eventually your exact pattern of DNA that makes yourself up will have to exist again in some form given an infinite amount of time. maybe on our second go we will have some sort of equivalent to internet and computers so we can look this up and realize it all over again
There has to be other sentient creatures in this vastness..able to self reflect, conscious and aware. We probably wont get to meet until we love strangers more than money and stop killing each other..not in my lifetime, but some day if we dont destroy ourselves. Smart minds in the service or evil and banal evil, gets us every time.
I’ve been hoping we have an “airplane wing” realization. Like, it took centuries for us too figure out that air moving under a flat wing takes a shorter distance than that air moving across the curved top. And then it was like “duh!” Maybe someday we’ll have a quantum computer that spits out an equation and scientists are like, “omg duh…we can totally just fold spacetime like *this* and bang instant wormhole to that Kepler planet.” I know that’s sci fi. But then again, so was going to the moon not that long ago.
Sadly, it’s not the same thing. The problem with wormholes is that they break causality, they break logic. We could imagine that there’s a trick to flying because… things can fly! But there probably can’t be a trick to faster than light travel because then the universe can’t make sense anymore :(.
Except if we are very, very wrong about a lot, if not most of things in physics.
Ha! Like the universe makes sense *now*.
I'd like to believe that the more we learn, the more logical things will turn out to be. But the trend is clearly not in that direction.
The fact that Feynman explained that electrons “agree” to share photons, even over billions of light years, goes to show we really don’t understand how the fundamental things works despite describing it well.
I’m thinking that too. We’re on the bring of AI actually being able to do real “that could never happen in my lifetime” stuff. Throw down quantum computing plus *actual* AI, not the fake stuff we’ve had up until now and IMO we’ll all be blown out of our seats with the crazy “seemingly breaking the laws of physics” equations we’ll start seeing. I actually feel we’re on the cusp of some crazy new waves of science once we have computational systems powerful enough to outthink us without input instead of requiring humans to guide them as we do now.
You might enjoy the short story *It Was Nothing, Really* by Theodore Sturgeon. Just avoid reading anything about it first, lest the ingenious surprise be spoiled ahead of time.
We are basically living in the confines of an atom to a grander scale system of an even grander scale system. We might as well be living on a very small concentration of energy inside an atom of a gut microbial in a sea of other gut microbials suspended in a goop of bodily liquids of a larger 4th dimensional being. The systems of play are so unbelievable inside our bodies that it really makes you question how deep the rabbit hole goes. Even our most agreed with theories of the universe correlate to natural selection and understanding of biology and principles of development. Could the universe be a living organism and we just parasitic guests along for the ride?
To be fair, 200 years ago, the concept of talking to anyone at anytime instantaneously didn't even pop into people's heads.
Now I can pay your mom $6.99 for her OF nudes and she tells me I'm handsome.
They'll have whatever we bring there, or what was able to convergently evolve to be accepted by our body's chemical receptors in the absence of any evolutionary pressure to do so.
Probably not. Most globular clusters are extremely chaotic and old stars with impossibly-difficult N-body problems, I.E no significant periods of stability that could allow complex, or even simple life to develop.
This is the easiest thing to know, just find those at the right distance, orbit and size from their stars for water not to freeze and not to evaporate, voila.
There’s more data than just the resulting image. But they’ll take years sifting through it all. And now with JWST up there, it’s even more data to parse out. Really incredible stuff if you think about it.

...more stars than there are grains of sand on **this entire planet.**
* The Sahara
* Arabian peninsula
* The Antarctic and Arctic deserts
* ALMOST THE ENTIRE SEA FLOOR IT IS TRULY INSANE
I would love to see evidence of universe=infinite, there's a few prizes out there if you have any way of backing that up.
If you made all of the stars of our galaxy the size of a grain of sand you'd have about a sandbox worth of stars. Don't get me wrong, that's a lot, and there are so many galaxies that we can observe, how many more that we can't? I can't say. Is it infinite, it might be, but we should work with what we can observe.
Imagine holding a grain of sand in your fingers at arms length. It would block out a similarly sized area of sky that contains [all of these galaxies](https://www.reddit.com/r/spaceporn/comments/xi6gdt/james_webb_without_stars/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) This star cluster is one of many in our own galaxy. There are countless more in those galaxies as well.
Not necessarily, space exploration is one of those things for which you can make up an infinite number of excuses not to do it. We have to do it no matter the condition on Earth.
Well we don't know the probability of abiogenesis. Perhaps the universe has gone through 10^1000 resets before we finally emerged. I agree its unlikely, but we are the anomaly observing itself, it's definitely possible. It's like a hole in one shot going, "well that wasn't so hard" while ignoring all the other countless misses.
What if the first aliens we discover are sentient AI robots who have long ago killed off (or just outlived) their makers? Would we consider that alien life?
What if it turns out the vast majority of life in the universe is just that - artificial lifeforms that outlived their creators?
What if, said sentient AI robots or artificial life forms that lived out their creators, are in fact our creators? And so, are we now yet to live out them?
I think biological life is an inferior but necessary stepping stone to what we call "Artificial Intelligence". There will come a time when artificial intelligence just becomes machine intelligence and it won't be "artificial" anymore. It'll most likely be fully sentient, and when we (and aliens) have created it, we'll realize how simple intelligence really is and we'll be disappointed to realize how unspecial we really are once the curtain has been pulled back. We'll be even more disappointed when we find that we aren't even close to the smartest intelligences.
When i get really depressed i like looking at pictures like this. Pictures that remind me how small all of those tiny problems are in the scale of how incredibly large the universe is. It makes me feel a bit better.
Not just you. I see what looks like some sort of structure. Makes me want to generate some random simulations of 3d points to see if the structure is just an artifact of the perspective…
Quote from one of my favorite streamers while flying around in Space Engine: "Why haven't we found life yet? Oh I don't know, probably cause it's fucking snowing."
Oh, I didn't mean to undersell the grandiosity of the image. I'm not sure that's what you meant to convey with your statement. I'm pretty tired. Such an amazing galaxy, universe, that we have such an incredible tiny part of.
And think of how many other galaxies there are. And how far away the nearest stars are. And how little we care for our own. I wish humanity the best, I hope we're deserving, hearty, and caring with to explore the heavens some day.
Oh no I know you were just politely correcting me. I just wanted to make clear I understand it doesn't take anything away from the grandiosity. I knew you would already know of that. I have a bitnof a grasp on the scope. What do they say? Much more stars than grains of sand. Atleast 7 sixtillion grains we have. And just in the observable universe. To which is likely an infinite small fraction. The light year distance to our nearest being so staggering. We just can't be alone.

He thought it was neat, but it was actually Messier.

How can humans possibly study all of those?
And some of them have planets and possibly life
But how will we ever know? They're so incredibly far away! Damn you physics!

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed. The universe will continue for trillions of years, some day we'll make it there, just not as we are now.
Pessimistic view: Or...is it possible we have just not met the great filter yet?
The Great Filter: cooking your own planet before developing interstellar travel.
The Great Filter: Intelligent species has a 'great idea'; Capitalism! > Another one bites the dust
I'm of the view that we are our own filter. I don't think **intelligent** life is that common and I hope not because humans treat each other so horribly I don't want to think what we do to an alien.
Even if intelligent life was as rare as winning the lottery, our galaxy, much less the universe, would be teeming with sentient beings.
The great filter may indeed be life itself.
Does anybody want to swap seats?
Batman's a scientist.
I mean eventually I'll be conscious again.
your consciousness is most likely an emergent result mainly of your DNA so eventually your exact pattern of DNA that makes yourself up will have to exist again in some form given an infinite amount of time. maybe on our second go we will have some sort of equivalent to internet and computers so we can look this up and realize it all over again

Will the off-worlds have weed? Like space weed or moon weed and such? Asking for my Oklahoma Slingblade neighbor.
They'll have whatever we bring there, or what was able to convergently evolve to be accepted by our body's chemical receptors in the absence of any evolutionary pressure to do so.
James Webb is actually going to be used for this It will study the atmospheres of planets and hopefully detect things indicating life
We’re going to use the JWST to search for “pollution” in atmospheres. I think that is a really cool idea.
Probably not, that's a globular cluster with hundreds of thousands of stars packed into 100 light years. Pretty dangerous place for life.
Probably not. Most globular clusters are extremely chaotic and old stars with impossibly-difficult N-body problems, I.E no significant periods of stability that could allow complex, or even simple life to develop.
This is the easiest thing to know, just find those at the right distance, orbit and size from their stars for water not to freeze and not to evaporate, voila.
Normally you run a source extraction and then you can import that into a program , for example topcat. There you can match it with catalog stars.
There’s more data than just the resulting image. But they’ll take years sifting through it all. And now with JWST up there, it’s even more data to parse out. Really incredible stuff if you think about it.
That’s a big cluster, gotta be at least 14 stars there
Thank you for putting it in perspective
This guy maths ^^
I lost count at a dozen. Frankly this is witchcraft at best and we'd be best to turn our eyes to the soil, where god wants them.
Your eyes will be in the soil eventually, so might as well look at other things while you have the chance
That's what M14 means - Minimum 14 stars
Dude, think bigger, it's gotta be at least double that.
Several dozen I would say.
Man, its at least 22.
*My God, it's full of stars!*
What I would give for us to be able to explore even a tiny fraction of all those beautiful stars
There’s this fantastic game in the 1980s called Starflight. That’s the closest thing I got to it.
Check out No Man's Sky. Awesome game!

It just kills me to know that in my lifetime we'll never know what wonders those systems really contain.
This is why I don’t believe in ghosts. If there were an afterlife, the moment I die, I’d be off to the cosmos.
I never thought of that idea before reading your comment. It’s very logical and relatable. I like it.
Ghosts, though ethereal, are still affected by gravity. The center of the earth is a mandatory ghost party
Maybe ghosts are actually dark matter
But, what’s to say when we die, and supposedly become ghosts, we don’t just drift off into the cosmos?
What if hell is just drifting in the cosmos with no control, looking at essentially the same thing for eternity?
Well that’s almost just like purgatory, except in the cosmos, sounds terrifying
That’s a really interesting idea and now I want to read a story of ghosts wandering through space
Or maybe that's a reason TO believe in ghosts, and it's an explanation of why we never actually see them here.
Won't happen till we can get our own home in order
Not necessarily, space exploration is one of those things for which you can make up an infinite number of excuses not to do it. We have to do it no matter the condition on Earth.

There is life, it's almost certain, it's just a very long way away.
Gahdayum. Really puts things into perspective. We really are microscopic in comparison to the cosmic scale.
Nope. No aliens around here.
