    It has found life. And it apparently comes with a machine gun.



    And also spotted on the remote planet. Crabs with human teeth.

    Looks like some galaxy collisions in the first photo. A lot of gravitational lensing too. The level of detail of redshifted galaxies is amazing to look at though.

    That's it? The picture they released showed THOUSANDS of Galaxies 4.6 billion light years from Earth. If you stood outside on a clear night and looked through a sand-grain sized hole in a piece of paper, that's how much sky is captured in that image. It is an unbelievably stunning view of galaxies we once though were impossible to see and a micro-micro-fraction of the totality of what we could look like.

    You're looking at possibly millions of planets that hundreds of thousands if not millions of stars that may not even exist anymore.

    First thing I noticed, right in the center of the photo. You can basically trace the circles of lensed light to plant a bulls eye where the mass must be.

    I'm speaking on the quantity not the quality, they said images so I naturally expected more than one. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to be fully satisfied.

    To think that when the light left those galaxies our solar system was still mostly a cloud of gas and dust with a new sun just starting.

    Example of what you can learn from a single image.

    Looks awfully familiar. A kelidoscope for 10 billion dollars.
