Space Exploration - James Webb Telescope / Mars Rovers, etc

Lemme put forth… this is almost 100% NOT TRUE!!!

But, it was funny, interesting and scary af so I figured I’d post it for enjoyment purposes only…

19 jaw-dropping James Webb Space Telescope images

From nebulas and black holes to baby star nurseries and ancient collisions, the universe has never looked more beautiful thanks to NASA's $10 billion-telescope.

Yeah the light from that source would have happened millions of years ago - yeah right

@Mackeyser "almost 100%". Lmao. It's a subreddit for horror stories written from a personal perspective. And they lost all realism at the gravitational wave detectors showing them the network of filaments. That technology just isn't at that level yet.

On to another subject, had the JWST done anything cool we were expecting yet?

Also, the universe tastes faintly of raspberries… that’s actually true…

Which means it tastes better than strawberries. No blue font needed.

And you're a commie pinko if you disagree with me.

Well, I may be a pinko commie, but I def don't disagree... Raspberries >>>> Strawberries all day, erry day

Well, yes and no.

It's kinda upending what people thought on a few topics as what's coming back has been more unexpected... which is a good thing because we already know we know very little about the universe, so having data that challenges what we think we know is almost always good... (it's less good when it comes to things like virology, cuz what we don't know can kill us)

There are already some really fun vids on YT about what the JSWT has shown us thus far

Really cool!

The veteran rover captured a dazzling sunset at the start of a new cloud-imaging campaign.

That had me going until I read the filament part and interstellar battle. lol

Some guy trying to be the next HG Wells. lol

What's messed up is there are horrors out there in space. We are moving in the galactic disk and may end up being eaten by a black hole, given how we don't know where they are. There may be many of them flying about out there, rejected from their orbits by galactic forces, and any would quickly dispose of our little solar system om nom nom.

I wonder how many worlds with life have had the misfortune to be too near any of multiple events that ended life on those planets. Not talking just asteroids either but supernovae and black holes and the like. It really is crazy how fortunate we are to be here in this peaceful little solar bubble bobbing along happily and naive as F about so many things related to this universe we live in.

Couldn't have said it better myself man! Blackholes are have only been officially discovered since 1964, imagine what other things are out there that haven't even pondered of yet?

Years back I thought I was a genius drinking one night alone and pondered up the concept of white holes. Needless to say it was well after many others of thought of the concept of white holes and I'd be very curious to here and findings of them!
You never really hear about them compared to black holes.

Interesting that there are 2 jets in a three dimensional space. Wonder why that is. Why it isn't say 4 jets with 120 degrees separation. Is that due to the dynamics in the black hole itself or something else.

My half sister Gerrie used to work at JPL and worked on the Voyager probes (both probes). The damn things are still sending back data with 60s era electronics. Our cellphones have more processing power than those probes. They were launched in the summer of 1977. She still has friends that send her updates on the data they are collecting. I'm not a space geek so I pretend to understand what she's saying LOL

It’s amazing what we achieved in the 60’s-70’s in space.

Anytime I watch the Apollo mission stories I am fascinated by what they pulled off. As you said, very little computer power but a WHOLE LOT of excellence in mathematics. Those guys were geniuses.

The Voyager crafts could keep working to 2036, but they are slowly running out of power. Amazing what they built!

The James Webb Telescope discovered something terrifying in deep space

There’s an explanation for this

Always been fascinated by the Voyager probes. Back in high school I'd be checking out a bunch of space probe books from the library, amazed at all the shit they were able to accomplish with that tech. I read up on the Mariners, the Pioneers, the Vikings, all the shit that went down with Venus from both the U.S. and Russia... Then the rabbit hole led me to the whole Voyager solar system tour. I think they were offshoots of the Mariner program. Anyway, yeah nerd shit. Fuck it, it's cool!

I had not heard this full recording before. What a cool listen. Intense.

They were inside 30 seconds of running out of fuel when they landed on the moon.

Thank you for that, that was amazing. first time I've listened to a long length transmission of any mission of that sort. Very interesting. Wonder if they have a long one with video anywhere?
