Popular Post BAZ Posted February 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2023 I saw this today and I really couldn't get my head round the immense distances invloved in this lot. Just the one lone star from our galaxy for scale! 🤣 https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-webb-uncovers-new-details-in-pandora-s-cluster +RonC, +Streetbob, +TasKiNG and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 @Bino-viewer It is Rob, the sheer vastness of this just amazed me. Some of the little red specks at the back may have been the first galaxies ever to exist and probably one of the deepest views we can see. This science just keeps turning up new dicoveries and maybe one day we might figure out a bit of the universe, because everytime we think we have it sorted, something like Quantum Physics pops up. +Streetbob and +Bino-viewer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stu Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Wow! My mind gets boggled when I see that many galaxies in one image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stu Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'm just trying to get my head round the field of view. Apparently the image covers 0.007 square degrees. Any good comparisons to assist me would be much appreciated 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good comparisons to assist me would be much appreciated 👍 Assuming a square image, 0.007 square degress would equate to about 5 x 5 arc minutes. Given that Jupiter currently has a diameter of about 0.5 arc minutes then the field would be about 10x the current size of Jupiter. +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
