I always expect the ring to be bigger. It looks quite tight.

i expect the ring like saturns

There’s a reason the rings around Saturn were discovered over 400 years ago, and the rings around Uranus were discovered in 1977.

I don’t think there are many black holes in Rome. But I suppose they really want to make sure.

Gotta say Astronomers being linked up through the internet is a powerful thing esp when we can combine our images

What a great article! Very informative and easy to read.

The telescope sounds cool too! An 8.5 meter mirror?! And it’s designed to be able to recoat it over time!

That’s not what “sprawling” means.

I know it’s in the article headline and OP is likely not the author, but it’s impossible to give feedback on space.com so I’m leaving it here from frustration.

Existential crisis about how every narrow image shows 100,000x the amount of matter and bodies that I already can’t conceptualize from just our own galaxy

I always love seeing the telltale Webb diffraction spikes. Great new pictures.

Oh boy. That’s a headline. A ridiculous, awful headline.

Definitely of the headlines of all time.

Okay, that’s really cool and 25 megabits per second is actually very good compared to what they get back from other probes. At speeds like that, they could send back 4k pictures, which would be extremely high resolution for craft like this.
