Zoom Into Pandora’s Cluster
Ғылым және технология
Astronomers estimate 50 000 sources of near-infrared light are represented in this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Their light has travelled through various distances to reach the telescope’s detectors, representing the vastness of space in a single image. A foreground star in our own galaxy, to the right of the image centre, displays Webb’s distinctive diffraction spikes. Bright white sources surrounded by a hazy glow are the galaxies of Pandora’s Cluster, a conglomeration of already-massive clusters of galaxies coming together to form a mega cluster. The concentration of mass is so great that the fabric of spacetime is warped by gravity, creating a natural, super-magnifying glass called a 'gravitational lens' that astronomers can use to see very distant sources of light beyond the cluster that would otherwise be undetectable, even to Webb.

THe huge edge-on spiral galaxy that disappears near the top left corner at 0:17 is NGC 253, aka the Silver Coin. The largest apparent diameter spiral galaxy in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

@@Comet-2011-W3-Lovejoy Thank you. I have been an active astronomer for over 50 years. Plus I have a planetarium program that shows all NGC and Messier objects.

Imagine the worlds and possibilities that are occurring right now, from the macro of astronomical events through life as the earth is and has been to the microscopic world, The histories of civilizations that once existed or even are repeating themselves Earth-like just a different matter billions of light years away, incomprehensible.

That doesn't make sense, you're a human it's almost like betraying your own species, you complain but do what you think, change your ways and be a better person for the earth and your community.
