Here's their preview image released yesterday:

It's infrared, but I think they can colorize subsequent images, but note the sharpness of it!

To think out of billions and billions of galaxies we’re the only one with life?

Each of those fuzzy little ellipses is a GALAXY that we could not see before.............

“To think out of billions and billions of galaxies we’re the only one with life?”

Some day we may discover there is life elsewhere in the Milky Way or we may not. But the Milky Way only represents a small fraction of the universe.

Our nearest real galaxy (the way I think of them) is Andromeda which is 2.5 million light years from us. We may never know if life exists or not in our nearest galaxy much less the other 2 trillion galaxies out there.

Thus I don’t believe we could ever state that Earth has the only life in the universe.

The reality is that it doesn’t really matter if there is or is not life on the other 2 trillion galaxies out there because they are so far away as to be essentially irrelevant to our existence.

God Is Great.
No Man will ever know what God knows.
What an incredible thing God has done for us.

This is the image used to fine tune the optical alignment

And almost all of the objects in that image are galaxies, each one like island universes, containing billions of planets and stars. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around seeing all those galaxies in one single image.

Personally I don’t buy that. I’d guess there are billions of planets with life, in one form or another.

Me neither. I think it’s the height of self importance to think humans on this planet are the only ones out there in the universe.

And pretty much isolated. We all may be gone in relationship with other galaxies, like we’re already gone by the time the light of our galaxy reaches them.

“And pretty much isolated. “

I happen to believe the isolation was by design. It is as if the creator knew we would just kill each other if we lived too close together. “keep ‘em separated”

100% agree. It's the pinnacle of arrogance and ignorance usually being disseminated by the self righteous.

Which is why our solar system/Earth is at the outer most part of the Milky Way spiral. There’s nothing behind our system at all but the deep universe.

If the goal was to prevent people killing each other, why are their 8 billion people on this small planet?

God knew murder would exist. But I think He planned to separate lifeforms in the universe to keep them from killing each other off. That’s just how it looks to me.
