LOL they’re not going to show it full screen.

5297

Look at that gravitational lensing!

5298

Zoom out further! Make the image smaller!

5299

ya know, what would really have been effective is if NASA had taken a “here’s the best possible picture we can get with Hubble” and then slapped down a “AND HERE’S WHAT JAMES WEBB CAN DO.” That would have seemed like an obvious “FUCK YEAH, THIS IS AMAZING” moment.

THey’ve shown more white old guy than astrophotography

5301

They keep switching to Bill Nelson’s face because it’s also 13.5 billion years old.

5302

What was that last line? I wonder what the press is like in those places?

5303

AND THE TV DIRECTOR GETS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

5304

What is happening?

5305

Here’s the image.

5306

That’s true, and even seeing a zoomed out pic on a stream you can tell just how amazing an image this is, especially since it’s one of the first captured.

5307

This is so anticlimactic. Might as well turn it off and wait for the full res photos tomorrow.

5308

Wait what just happened lol. It’s done? Well thanks Mr President, screw you too.

5309

The Hubble Deep Field was taken over the course of 10 days, and this was just less than one day for Webb. Imagine if it had been 10?

5310

Direct link to high res pic.

5311

Holy shit, now that’s what I’m talking about.

5312

would love to see them reconstruct what the lensed galaxy’s look like after processing how the gravitational force of the foreground object distorted them.

5313

That’s the good stuff. Thank you.

5314

Helllll yeah ty for the link

5315

I wonder what was causing that gravitational lensing. Has to either be a galaxy or a black hole, right?
