Our eyes cannot see colors like that in the sky without help, either big telescopes and timed exposures to gather enough photons or telescopes like Hubble and Webb.

Exactly! First clear sky here in our neck of the woods for a long time. But he spends days prepping and doing work flow so he’s good to go.

Odds are infinitesimal that any of all that life will interact. Unless our physics are all wrong.

With the camera so far away, how could they be sure that the blue dot was Earth? SMH.

Thank you for posting this huge image! We can see MANY more galaxies in the distance than we can in the smaller images.
Just WOW!

Even more amazing:
“Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe”.
To: Species8472
And the next best telescope they build will show the exact same thing.
...thinking themselves to be wise...

And in that miniscule section of sky, dozens (at least) of galaxies…each with billions of stars.

Still, 3.7 Billion miles away? Think about that. The odds are...well, I cannot even imagine yet alone contemplate.
