By Daz Go To PostA year ago tomorrow the James Webb telescope launched.One of bud's greates achievements
Wild how clearly I still remember this.
By reilo Go To PostJWTS winningthis is so fucking goodAstronomers measure cosmic distances with a parameter called redshift, which indicates how much the light from a faraway object has been stretched. Just a few months ago a redshift of 8, which corresponds to a time when the universe was about 646 million years old, was considered a high redshift. Thanks to Dr. Curtis-Lake and her colleagues, the record redshift is now 13.2, corresponding to when the universe was only 325 million years old..
Dr. Curtis-Lake and her team had aimed the telescope at a patch of sky called GOODS South, looking for galaxies that Hubble had been unable to detect. Sure enough, there were four of them, specters in the heat-fog of creation. Subsequent measurements confirmed that they were indeed way back in time.
“We didn’t want to say we believed it — publicly,” said Brant Robertson, a JADES member from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The record is not expected to last long. The CEERS collaboration has reported a candidate galaxy that could have a redshift of 16, from when the universe was only 250 million years old
to look back in time like this to the early universe

😂
Red dwarfs also bathe their planets in high levels of high energy radiation which isn't conducive to complex life.
wild how we think life has to exist as we know it i.e. has to have water
probably some species out there that lives and breathes magnesium and we glossing right over it

We're an expansionist species.
Our search for resources >>>> intelligent life.
By DY_nasty Go To Postintelligent life isn't a resource?Europe knows all about that
By Daz Go To PostNot if the Dark Forest theory is to be believed.My hope is we're the only intelligent species obsessed with game theory.
By Daz Go To PostYupnot necessarily
We're an expansionist species.

humans lived for 90k years without huge empires. pretty recent deal
this is launch footage is incredible holy shit. especially 3:30 and on wtffff
fukkkkk this reentry. some of the best footage ever

“NASA will work with our long-term partner, DARPA, to develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear thermal propulsion technology as soon as 2027. With the help of this new technology, astronauts could journey to and from deep space faster than ever – a major capability to prepare for crewed missions to Mars,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Congratulations to both NASA and DARPA on this exciting investment, as we ignite the future, together.”
