James Webb telescope appears to picture wormhole in 'Phantom Galaxy'

Hope UPI articles don't have to be excerpted. Didn't get any such warning message when I clicked on 'Post,' so I'm going with it like this, unexcerpted. Sorry, mod, if I messed up!

“It’s full of stars!”

Galileo discovered mountains and craters on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, sunspots, double stars, Milky Way stars, all with his tiny little telescope. It was quite the revolution in astronomy. It didn’t cost $10 billion though.

Excellent, we can use this wormhole to travel faster than light.

How far away is it?

[BipolarBob]

Two independent teams have recently said they may have found the very origins of the universe.

They discovered the Book of Genesis?

[BipolarBob]

It didn’t cost $10 billion though.

Then this was before Jimmah Cawtah and Bidenflation.

[Telepathic Intruder]

That’s almost as much as I paid for a full tank of gas last week.

[DannyTN]

That would make a great youtube video “Galileo meets James Webb telescope for the first time.

[LibWhacker]

That’s a good question. They say it’s the oldest galaxy ever seen (which means it’s farther away than any galaxy ever seen), but even Webb can’t take photos like the one pictured of galaxies that are 13+ billion ly away, afaik. Not with that much detail.

This picture would make a great print for a t-shirt. Looks like a tie dye.

Ping you on a neat photo of a wormhole looking straight down the throat of the singularity, You can see a small speck way down at the end, and I wonder what it is?

Click to article to see photo.

The James Webb telescope also found this unusual formation. Perhaps a black hole?

[LibWhacker]

Agree! I’d like mine to show the galaxy on the front and back of the t-shirt. That way it would sort of suggest I was being sucked into the wormhole at the center.

This, I think, is the actual Webb pic of the galaxy that has the wormhole. The one in the article, and the one I posted above, has nothing to do with the wormhole galaxy. But it makes for a pretty picture and does what it's supposed to do, that is, wow us with Webb's capabilities, which it does in spades!

[DannyTN]

Oh, well that galaxy looks sort of blurry.

I don’t want to visit a wormhole in a blurry galaxy. I’ll wait for one in a better neighborhood.

[LibWhacker]

Thanks, spel! I see from the last APOD MtnClimber posted that the galaxy pictured in this wormhole article is actually "Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628)", which has almost NOTHING to do with this wormhole article, other than the fact that both pics were taken by Webb. Kind of annoying UPI would knowingly mislead people without a word. Oh, well, no permanent damage done.

[LibWhacker]

Also funny, which I know was deliberate on your part, a deliberately funny twist on the matter, was your comment that we could use this wormhole to travel faster than light! HeeHee, not unless we can travel faster than light in the first place just to get there! Still chuckling over that one. :-)

Has it been discussed that we may be seeing multiple images of the same galaxies. We see a galaxy 500 million LYs away. Could we be seeing bv the next same galaxy but 100million LYd ccx away.
