ONIKKINEN Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Gravitational lensing for sure with those warped lines around the center. Real-ish looking colour palette, really like that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saac Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 It's full of galaxies ! I don't think I have seen so much gravitational lensing in one single image before. An amazing image for sure; can't wait to hear what the professionals can elicit from it. Jim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zermelo Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Yes, I prefer that look to the oranges of the test images. It will be interesting to find out how they assigned the colour. I expect it will be more impressive with a bit more scientific commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomato Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Wow, objects 13 billion light years distant showing some structure! The galaxy cataloguers are sure going to be busy over the coming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONIKKINEN Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Quote from the article: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2022/nasa-s-webb-delivers-deepest-infrared-image-of-universe-yet Quote This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks. Only 12.5 hours? Imagine a week long integration... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zermelo Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Well that's my wallpaper sorted for tomorrow, at least. And the next time my cheaper eyepieces show some smearing at the field stop, I'll be blaming gravitational lensing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground. This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks. The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe. This image is among the telescope’s first-full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT, during a live NASA TV broadcast.

OK Apricot Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 12.5 hours..... There are galaxies EVERYWHERE 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratlet Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 That is a frankly obscene number of galaxies. Hard to believe there was so much structure so soon after the universe formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, on screen it looks under- well , not overwhelming, but take the full thing and look a bit deeper, you start to realise that there is real depth to the image. They did a really poor job of showcasing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul M Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) There's probably a lifetime's worth of research to be done just in that one image. I'm at work so having to scroll round the image on my phone and I'm still dumbfounded. Edited July 11, 2022 by Paul M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
