The replacement for the Hubble was sent up this past December and is finally ready to show the first photos taken from it. They are releasing the first photo right now with the remainder 4 being released tomorrow. I for one have ben excited for this moment for years and can't wait!!
Just think that photo is basically a grain of sand and every 6 six sided object is a star and the rest are different galaxies... This is a new chapter of astronomy and I can't wait to see what they find.

It does make one wonder if we can take a picture of that clarity and reach back that far in time ... shouldn't there be some evidence of aliens or extraterrestial intelligent life forms? Or, are they shy?
Eg. if some intelligent life form could do the same from the other side of the universe, would there be any signs of life evident around planet earth? Like could they detect satellites we put up? Or the space station? Or a spaceship heading towards Mars? Or footprints on the moon?
there's no way there's not other worlds with some form of animal life (just imagine the possibilities) or intelligent life. We did it why couldn't they?

Two issues with that I think. We'd only be able to see it if they happened to have something visible to us at the point in time that we're currently seeing. So it would've had to occur millions or billions of years ago for us to see it now since that's how long it takes for the light to get here. Also even with how much the telescope can see, things that are unbelievably huge irl are still tiny in the image.
I'm not sure how radio waves are observed by comparison though, but I think that would be more likely to detect something?

K, that makes sense in that it would have had to happen millions of years ago for us to detect it via the Webb telescope now.
What the hell do they teach in high school science these days?

I always loved space. Watching Star Trek as a kid and learning about the cosmos. Carl Sagan put it best:
Quote:
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
I don't even watch much TV anymore. I just go out there and live each day.
