JWST Status Update

Nice pictures… but, not unexpectedly, the most striking finding so far may be a not-so-nice-looking fuzzy patch.

Enter GLASS-z11 and GLASS-z13, at estimated redshifts (z) of 11 and 13.
If confirmed, THAT is seriously impressive: GLASS-z13 would date from a mere 300 millions years after the Big Bang.

I believe my found G3 iMac has the same chip as the JWST!, and many other science/space operations.

I'm all about "The Reionization" period at the moment.

"While this work only gives a glimpse of the properties of typical galaxies that are thought to drive the reionization of the universe, it clearly shows the potential of JWST to unveil unprecedented details on galaxy formation in the first billion years."

I'm enjoying all these pics from across the universe. Then I saw this today.
