NASA, BIDEN Unveil First Image From James Webb Telescope

President Joe Biden released the first full-color image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Monday, during a public event at the White House in Washington. This first image showcases the powerful capabilities of the Webb mission, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has delivered the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Webb’s first deep field is galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and it is teeming with thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared.
 
It's Crazy to think how all those little swirls of light are WHOLE GALAXIES. If you think about the top 2 Sci Fi Universes that mankind has been able to dream up (Star Trek and Star Wars), they both exist within a single galaxy. And here we are looking at pictures of at least 30 plus independent galaxies.
 
Can someone explain why these deep universe pics have all the galaxies clumped up like that? I know the distance between them is light years but why do all deep space pics show galaxies all in one shot like they just floating out there together?!??? Is that just one random point? So if you point the camera in any “direction” of deep space you’ll see different galaxies clumped up all over the universe?!?

There’s an estimated 200 Billion different galaxies in space. Think about that. Especially since each galaxy has hundreds of millions and some billions of planets in them.

30? There are EASILY more than one hundred in that image a few posts above yours

The whole of reality, our universe, used to be compressed into a space smaller than a beachball. I imagine the expansion wasnt perfectly uniform. Plus supermassive blackholes probably create gravity wells, similar to the penny drop experiment you see in science museums or in your sink when you pull the drain plug to let out the water

Question, what is the dark circles at the center of the brighter objects

are those stars, they seem to outshine every or are they jus closer to the telescope

It looks like they are clumped together, but they are not.

Some are closer than others. Some are farther than others.

It’s like standing over head and looking over a large crowd gathering. From your perspective it looks like people are rubbing against each other, when they actually are spread apart differently if you got up close to them.

The amazing thing about that Galaxy picture is if somebody was in one of those galaxies looking in our direction…they would see the same image from the opposite, mirror viewpoint because of how the galaxies are distant from each other.

yes it would be other galaxies just like that but thats not the just of the image that image like the other telescope they had there was from a square blank area they pointed the cam at ans seen tons of galaxies heres the pic

each thing in this picture is a different distance from the observer. One point may be 20 light years from you, another may be 2000. From where you're looking though, they're next to each other. This is that x 1000.

Also mind blowing is that if you held your arm out, the space that this covers in the sky would be about the size of a crumb of weed shake that you would blow off the table when you finished rolling. A piece of sand.

This shit is like this in every direction, times a billion times a billion. Everywhere you look.

Shit crazy.

This will really blow your shit back, watch to the end.

man a thousand

Yes they are stars. Anything that has that lil 6 pointed array around it is a singular light source, i.e., a star.

Space is in 3d so some of the stars that appear to be close to each other on the X-Y-axis may be thousands of light-years on the Z-axis but when you view them on a 2d print they appear to be on the same plane. Also, keep in mind some of what appear to be big ass stars are clusters of galaxies so what appears to be two stars can actually be a close-by star that appears to be on the same plane as a cluster of stars (galaxy) that is thousands of light-years away. So by this, it is impossible to get an accurate sense of the depth of photons hitting a sensor and then converted into a 2d image.

Here is a better explanation of why those stars seem clumped up like that. Basically, the night sky should not be dark at all, that is if the universe was not expanding and if the speed of light wasn't finite. But being that it is, with the naked eye we see so much darkness, however with the Hubble and now the Webb space telescope, more of the photons that are usually lost or cannot be seen due to expansion and the photons not being able to reach the naked eye are not magnified allowing them to shine through the dark veil of space which these specks of magnified light often appear to be the same size due to us not being able to accurately differentiate the difference between a large star and a really bright small star, giving the illusion that they are all clumped together on relatively the same plane.
Here is a video that sort of touches on how this works.
