I just hit a huge milestone designing my giant pinball machine in Minecraft: the playfield is all laid out!
I'm calling the game Deep Field, and there's five primary objectives based on hitting different shots representing bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
IR: rollover switches
Visible light: pop bumpers
UV: captive ball
X-rays: Drop targets
Gamma rays: spinner
Also, a kinetic sling disc to light locks for Pluto Multiball!

tumblr tuesday: carina’s cosmic cliffs
Cosmic cliffs, our beloveds. ICYMI, @nasa recently shared some neat new images from the James Webb telescope. So, of course, you all got to work. Whether it's plonking your faves on a star-birthing nebula or celebrating the sparkle in its uncolonized state, there's art for that.
@cassieoh imagines Crowley lazing around Carina in his snake form:
@sir-galahadnt styled the nebula in inspirobot chic using a quote from Hamlet (click through for the full quote):
@whatlizardry in oil pastels:
@assassin1513 just made it all sparkle a little more:
@jupitertheegg gave Starfire the perfect cosmic couch:
@richo1915 just said what everyone else was thinking:
@aesthetic-sweaters made a Kirby version:
@bird-wells214 another loafer loafing on Carina’s cliff couch:
@troisenator in watercolor:
And finally, some pixel art of the deep field in all its multitudes by @kekness:

The Hubble Deep Field
Post #14 in Physics and Astronomy, 12/12/2023
A while ago, I was just scrolling for interesting parts of space and stumbled across the Pillars of Creation and the Hubble Deep Field. I was intrigued by both, mainly because of the intricate and breathtaking nature of the respective images, so you can find my post about the Pillars of Creation here; in this post, I'm going to be giving you pretty pictures and explaining the context behind it.
The Hubble Deep Field from 2004 is the deepest portrait we have yet of the observable Universe. It reveals some of the first galaxies to emerge from the ‘Dark Ages’; this is the time shortly after the Big Bang when the first stars began to heat our Universe.
The Hubble Telescope reached the limit of what’s possible to see in visible light. This is because light shifts so far along the spectrum for very distant objects that they’re gone from the spectrum altogether; this means we just can’t see it with telescopes.
One interesting way to interpret telescopes is to think of them as time machines. Yes, you read that correctly, time machines. Think about it: the speed of light is not infinite, so it takes an increasingly noticeable length of time to travel very large distances. This is where the definition of light-year comes from–the distance light travels when it has been travelling for a year. Since the way we see things is through light hitting our retina, when we look at objects in space far, far, away, we’re seeing the image of it in the past.
For ten days during Christmas season in 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope looked out thoughtfully over a large section of the sky. It gathered what light it could, building an image over time. What emerged next, the Hubble Deep Field, revealed many galaxies. You may be surprised to find out that the light from some of these galaxies took 10,000,000,000 years to reach us.
The full image shows over 3,000 galaxies of various shapes and sizes, and through the Deep Field, we’re plunging ourselves arm-deep back into time, where galaxies emerged from the Big Bang’s chaos.
In 2004 (which isn’t even that long ago!) we got images of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field—a precious image constituted from the work of numerous astronomers, revealing one of the deepest and most colourful depictions of our changing Universe.
The Ultra Deep Field contains around 10,000 galaxies, going as far back in time to get within a few hundred million years of the Big Bang.
The Hubble Telescope provided an ultraviolet-light dataset, that, when combined with infrared data from the James Webb Telescope, helped create such a beautiful image.
All images taken from Hubblesite and NASA!

James Webb Deep Field Image
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captures the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe, revealing stunning details of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723. This composite image, taken by Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) over 12.5 hours, showcases thousands of galaxies, including the faintest objects ever observed in infrared. The image, equivalent to a grain of sand held at arm's length, depicts SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago, with the combined mass of the galaxy cluster acting as a gravitational lens. Webb's NIRCam unveils previously unseen structures within these distant galaxies, providing insights into their masses, ages, histories, and compositions, and shedding light on the earliest galaxies in the universe.

⠀The James Webb Space Telescope does not orbit the Earth like the Hubble telescope. Instead, it orbits the Sun, a million miles from Earth.
⠀One of the first images from this new telescope (top photo) covers a patch of sky about the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length. Even this tiny dot in the heavens reveals thousands of galaxies, some of which are over 13 billion years old — hinting at the ancient grandeur, vastness and awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos.

Corrinne and I got the first three star posts secured to the playfield, and the rubber ring around where the left sling will go!
The Deep Field pinball prototype project is underway!

Lost deep in the sunflower field,
Their petals point me only towards the sky.
Walking in circles
Gets me no further than
Laying motionless in the shade.
I am unaware
Your path is in orbit of mine.
Never able to intersect,
Forever held together,
Side by side.
@nosebleedclub prompt August vi. Deep field

i know the photos themselves are what's making the rounds but i want to share this infographic on the unique star twinkle from jwst photos. Even something like this was tweaked to be optimized!
The cool star shapes were one of the first things that caught my attention so i'm glad there's an in-depth and layperson friendly explanation.
and of course, the deep field, with countless examples!

Moderately Notable Area - Explore the entire 8.8 gigapixel image here.
“The night sky is one of the oldest existential quandaries, and some of the oldest known artworks are reimagionations of constellations. When we look at the stars, we wonder how we got here, why we got here, and how long we’ll be here. It is safe to say that throughout the entire run of our species, we will never know the answers to these questions. However, we do control the answer to another pressing existential question: what will we do with our time while we are alive? Moderately Notable Area encourages one to look to the stars and one’s neighbors, and realize that the only way to live in a better world requires one to imagine something seemingly impossible and commit to its creation. Whether it be recreating an image of the universe out of abstract shapes or lobbying to change one’s city’s archaic zoning laws, the future is in the hands of all those alive right now. Believe in radical hope!”
