Uranus has red spots.....
Hopefully Webb will find the lost sock universe.
Merry Christmas.

Yes, “let there be light” sounds a lot like the Big Bang.
The galaxies will keep expanding into the vast universe, then in a gazillion years, matter will clump in the center of the universe, attracting more matter, and after another gazillion years, another big bang will take place in what we consider the center of the universe. And that will keep happening for a gazillion gazillion (times a gazillion) years until eternity fades away. Or something.
That’s sooner than I thought...Thanks...
In simulations, typically 80% of the details are left out. If 80% is missing, that's evidence we're in a simulation. Thankfully, the blue screen of death is completely painless, but frequently flush your writes.
By 1927, Lemaître, le pere de Theorie de Claquer Grande, had published solutions to Einstein's field equation that predicted an accelerating expanding universe and were consistent with available astronomical observations, most importantly Slipher's measurements of galactic red shifts, which preceded Hubble's by half a decade. In 1924, Friedmann in the Soviet Union had published solutions, including predictions of an expanding or contracting universe, depending on the value of the cosmological constant, but made no association with astronomical observations.
Hubble thought the rate of expansion of the universe was constant, hence the term Hubble Constant, The value of the Hubble Constant was originally derived by Lemaître, but he omitted the derivation and value in the English translation of his 1927 paper which was published in 1930. However Lemaître intended it as a mean value based on observations to date, and did not believe that it was constant.
Excellent discussion here.
No so friendly aliens.
We have the Webb and the Hubble. Chelsea must feel such pride. LOL
Couple of questions:
How long will it take for data to travel from out there back to the reception equipment on earth?
What frequency will the data be using?
What do the antennas look like and where are they located?
Curiosity beckens...
It will discover all the missing socks known as dark matter.
There’s a chance it will teach us enough about dark energy for us to know, literally, the way the universe ends. If dark energy can’t become more powerful than gravity, all gravitationally bound super-clusters will become infinitely remote from each other (island universes, in a sense) but will live on for trillions of years, very gradually exhausting stellar fuel or dispersing it too finely for stellar genesis. If dark energy can become more powerful than gravity, then the island universes will consist of clumps of molecular matter bound by electromagnetism. If dark energy is more powerful than electromagnetism, the island universes will be one for each atomic nucleus bound by the weak force. Etc.
More boxes of pre-filled ballots from 2020....
Since this is the first piece of technology to be stationed at a ‘figurative parking spot’, ‘LaGrange point’, to establish that to be working knowledge.
I, then would like to see a ‘Hubble-esque’ broad portrait of the galaxies in the infrared band.
Lastly, in the constellation Orion, ‘below his belt’ there is a Messier catalogued galaxy. What else might there be?
My dreams:
* finding exoplanets with atmospheres that indicate life
* looking back to the very early history of the universe to find where galaxies come from
* other planets beyond Pluto, that may be as large as the Earth
Im hoping that it will give us more clues to solve the “dark matter” riddle, discover habitable worlds within reach of sub-light speeds, and a ton of other things, I just hope NASA doesn’t have a repeat of the Mars rover crash. At 1 million miles from Earth, we are not sending a mechanic out there to fix it, like we were able to with Hubble.
That a colossal cosmic joke has been played on all of us!
They will see a sign on some way out planet that says Foxtrot

Thank you for bringing back many priceless childhood memories in a more wholesome and simpler time.
Merry Christmas 🎅
