Thanks for sharing this!

I would like NASA to try to fix me now. I too am a socially isolated remote worker who occasionally says insane things

Edit: Guys, all of a sudden I feel different

I found several of the ideas in this article lacked sufficient explanation, if there even was any, for laypeople to understand.

Zachariah, 5 miesięcy temu w NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy

Over the last two years, scientists have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (also called Webb or JWST) to explore what astronomers refer to as Cosmic Dawn – the period in the first few hundred million years after the big bang where the first galaxies were born. These galaxies provide vital insight into the ways in which the gas, stars, and black holes were changing when the universe was very young. In October 2023 and January 2024, an international team of astronomers used Webb to observe galaxies as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph), they obtained a spectrum of a record-breaking galaxy observed only two hundred and ninety million years after the big bang. This corresponds to a redshift of about 14, which is a measure of how much a galaxy’s light is stretched by the expansion of the universe

Not true at all, there were plenty of trains built on the Earth. The one on the moon will be far from the first.

Meuzzin, 6 miesięcy temu w Hundreds of black 'spiders' spotted in mysterious 'Inca City' on Mars in new satellite photos

They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

TLDR: It’s gas deposits, not Martian spiders… yet.

I know that's not how the phrase is meant to be read, but I can't unsee it as it flying separately by the earth and the moon and deciding to buzz one of the two a bit closer.

Macallan, 7 miesięcy temu w After 30 years, I'm finally going to see a total solar eclipse. Also, Potato World is a thing.

So, How was it? Did it live up to your expectations? Did you get any good pictures?

Kichae, 7 miesięcy temu

Pictures turned out ok! I should have done a dry run for my totality setup, as I wanted to do some bracketed exposures and assumed my DSLR would let me do that the same way in live display mode as it does in optical viewfinder mode, and it… didn’t. But the pictures I did get are a reasonable, if insufficient facsimile of the experience.

As for the real deal… I’ll have to update everyone once I’ve processed it. It was clear as crystal, and a perfect day. I was totally unprepared in every way that mattered. I don’t yet have words.

Macallan, 7 miesięcy temu

Sounds like it was enjoyable. My son’s mother took him out of school and drove them 2.5 hours to go see it in totality.

AnUnusualRelic, 7 miesięcy temu

That seems like a lot of work for potato world.
