ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT!

THE JWST HAS TAKEN TEST IMAGES THAT WERE JUST RELEASED

LOOK AT THIS PICTURE DUDE!!! IT’S SPACE BUT LIKE INSANELY FAR AWAY!!!

JWST EVEN TOOK A SELFIE!!! (you gotta appreciate that near not blurry photo… it is hurtling through space at 720 MPH)

HERE’S A FEW MORE PHOTOS!!!

THERE IS A LOT MORE AVAILABLE AT NASA’S JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE FLICKR PAGE. THERE ARE EVEN GRAPHS!!!

Four years studying optical sciences and engineering, coupled with ~$20k in student loan debt has brought us here

Showing in infrared wavelengths, this merging galaxy pair is about 500 million light-years away toward the constellation Delphinus. The galaxy merger spans about 100,000 light-years in this deep James Webb Space Telescope image. The image data is from Webb's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). Their combined, sharp infrared view follows galactic scale restructuring in the dusty merger's wild jumble of intense star forming regions and distorted spiral arms

Jupiter and Ring in Infrared from Webb

Testing out how effectively I can link to images I've posted on Flickr. This is another IRG (Infrared-Red-Green) image, but instead of being made with a single exposure on my full spectrum camera, I instead used a two exposure compositing technique with my unconverted Canon Rebel T5. While you're limited to shooting static subjects and locking down on a tripod, it's really cool to be able to take images like this on a normal camera.

Australian volcano near Antarctica captured on satellite spewing lava

(image source)

“One of Australia’s two active volcanoes on an island near Antarctica – known as Big Ben – has been spotted by satellite spewing lava.

The lava flow on the uninhabited Heard Island, about 4,100 kilometres south-west of Perth and 1,500km north of Antarctica, is part of an ongoing eruption that was first noted more than a decade ago.

The image was caught by the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 25 May [2023] and is a composite of an optical picture and an infrared image.”

Good Body Image

Most treatments are targeted at a particular area, to solve an isolated problem. But no organ is an island. Researchers, therefore, are interested in ways to visualise whole-system changes as well as cell-level interactions that occur during disease and development. A new approach combines several techniques to provide a complete 3D map of the mouse vessel network (pictured, coloured according to vessel height, left, and depth under the skin, right). The researchers used light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, which shines thin sheets of light to take images in layers, a carefully timed approach to remove visual noise caused by background structures, and an algorithm to extract and analyse the vessel data. These approaches, applied with fluorescence imaging at the near-infrared wavelength of light, give a glimpse of what happens to the whole body – useful to show the details of disease development and test the broad impacts of new potential treatments.

It never even occurred to me that we would be getting double the images from Webb, from NIRCAM and MIRI respectively! Twice the bang for our buck, baby!!!

Neptune and its rings come to focus with a web telescope

Neptune and its rings come to focus with a web telescope

New images from space-based observatories offer a novel view of the planet in infrared. Credit social media No spacecraft has visited Neptune since 1989 when the NASA probe Voyager 2 flew past on its way out of the solar system. Neptune, which is four times wider than Earth, is the most distant planet in our solar system. Voyager 2’s observations whet the appetite of astronomers, who are eager…
