This is absolutely mindblowing!

Najbardziej szokujący jest początek, gdy przedstawia się na miniaturce, jak niewielki fragment galaktyki oglądamy. Później jest juz tylko zapierające dech piękno i kontemplacja ogromu stworzenia.

As a amateur astrophotographer have to say what a breathtaking shot. What an amazing baseline of data for future missions. Follow up missions are going to discover a lot planets among many other discoveries.

Good times for Astronomy, JWT, Ecluid, Vera Rubin (LSST) and soon to be Nancy Grace Roman. I feel we are only years away from cracking some of the biggest mysteries in Cosmology along with new physics and mysteries we haven’t even thought of.

I’m 51 and have tracked these projects since the beginning and now they are finally coming online.
