    What a breathtaking day! I’m still “over the moon” with these five images….and what will come next. I’m confused however on the 2nd image of the exoplanet. Is the planet in the background (behind the scales) the actual exoplanet? Or is that image just of a random planet? The big take-a-way from this image is the assertion of water vapor being found in the atmosphere. (I do recall that water vapor was discovered in an exoplanet by Hubble 3 years ago) Can you pls explain what we’re actually seeing in this second image? thank you. Go Webb !!!!!

    one follow up comment to my previous one……I wish the James Webb Space Telescope was named the Carl Sagan Space Telescope. Carl is dancing a “jig” in heaven today.

    July 13, 2022 at 12:58 am

    Okay…Wait a minute here! When this telescope shows us light from a Star that is billions of light years away, the star could already be exploded and gone? You could not look at that same star system with an even more powerful telescope and see an alien rocket ship leaving a planet that is orbiting that same star can you? All this telescope is seeing billions of lightyears away is light that radiated from that star. That rocket ship I mentioned blasted off from that planet billions of years ago, and therefore could not be seen today with any telescope? Am I right? I’m just trying to learn.

    < I have learned in recent months is to remain calm, especially when it comes to investments in cryptocurrencies. Learn not to sell in a panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses.The market is very unstable and you can not tell if it's going bearish or bullish. While myself and others are trading without fear of making a loss others are being patient for the price to skyrocket, I would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 1.5 BTC and i have accumulated over 9.1 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by expert trader Mike Howard..

      I’ve got interest in investing but afraid of doing it on my own to avoid loss from my own end but when i came across Mike’s daily signals, i have been able to increase my BTC from 0.1 to 4.6 BTC in four weeks..

      Mike always have a way of milking this market and I am happy to be his follower. My portfolio has grown from $220k to $579k. This wouldn’t have been possible without Mike’s accurate signals…

    “The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind know not” Our God said.

    لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

    It’s great , an impressive feat for mankind. But I wish they’d stop talking about the Big Bang. Just like we can never see past 8 min ago of the sun, we can never see the Big Bang. That light already passed us long ago during the big bang itself when everything, including light, was moving away from it all.

    Deep Field Image, 4.6 billion light years away at 0:58 seconds – “that’s the farthest we’ve ever seen”. That has to be a mistake. That’s not deep field. Shoot, Hubble’s Deep Field was 13.2 billion. Yes, SMACS 0723 is 4.6 billion light years away but not the farthest that we’ve seen – it’s probably more correctly the farthest infrared image to date but not the farthest we’ve seen. In a NASA slideshow of images, there is a blow-up of five or six galaxies and it says 13.1 billion light years.

But some us yet they don’t believe , why Allah say this because that you will not have question on the day of judgment

    If we recognize and said that scientists now will make a telescope capable of the end of the universe, they have no, because the universe is in constant expansion. And that is what our Lord mentioned in the above, in the Holy Qur’an 1400 years ago.
    that is in this part:
    وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ﴾
    [ الذاريات: 47]

    With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof..

I think this will still be operating after we are gone. The Heat domes have started in earnest…look at the climate models…we’re screwed. And we dug up and burned more oil this year than ever before in human history. Sigh.
