Webb Telescope
I know its been in the Cool Science thread, but I think it's so cool it deserves its own space.
For anyone who hasn't heard of it yet, NASA released photos today from a new infrared satellite telescope today that show WAY more than has ever been seen before.
I heard a NASA scientist on the news earlier say "some of the light captured is 13 Billion years old" I can't even come close to comprehending that..

Webb Telescope
So awesome that this worked. This looks like the greatest NASA accomplishment of my lifetime. Can’t wait to see what we see and learn from it.
It would have been par for the course of the 2020’s for that thing to have failed. Although It did already get dinged by a tiny meteorite but it is apparently only a minor defect that they can adjust for.

Could this telescope be improved with blockchain Technology?
It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

Still amazing to see that far back in time.

These images are just beyond mind blowing. In the first image released you can actually see the light of an entire galaxy being distorted by the gravity of the object in front of it. The whole team that developed this deserves a super gold star. Words can’t describe how impressive it all is. The inner Milky Way images might be even crazier due to proximity

Webb Telescope
I still don’t understand how we can see back 13 billion years. Doesn’t that mean we’ve been moving away from that light producing matter at almost the speed of light? If that light just got to us, doesn’t that mean the matter that produced that light is now ~ 10 billion light years further away?
