NASA’s Webb Reveals Cosmic Cliffs, Glittering Landscape of Star Birth - NASA Science

Speaking of Enterprise, if there are any Trek fans here, this die cast replica, if they are able to make it, promises to be a genuine collectable. Massive 32" long. They have made it to duplicate, as exactly as possible, the original 11ft filming model used in the original series (which now resides at the Smithsonian.). But they have to reach 1.5Million if their crowd funding by July 24th in order to make it. One of the guys who helped with the restoration of the original helped then design this thing.

 
That's quite a model! I can imagine Mrs JP urging me to make sure I buy 2 so I can put one on each end of the mantle. :ROFLMAO:

In other news the second level of purchase (1,198) is just $40 less than the purchase price of every car I own - combined. :ROFLMAO:

(Really though I have a friend who is a serious collector of die cast cars and the cost of some of those is astonishing - as is the detail)
 
One of the other IR images clearly shows gravitational lensing. The further out we look, the more evident the effect.

And to think, Einstein had a grasp on this while in his 20's... the average human today can't do aught but stare at the evidence and: "OOoohh."
 
Alert…. I’ve concluded that bas might be an alien. I have evidence that the aliens wear the same glasses.

Official USAF report - there are *no* UFOs or Extraterrestrials!

I have posted about this before. I would still love to know what showed up in our Air Space one evening in November 1975 that had the General out of bed and on the Dias in the wee hours. I was on duty at NORAD this night and saw this event take place on our scopes in real time. I also was listening to the controllers talking to the pilots and heard them discussing how, when the fighters would get "too close" the objects would go dark. Whatever these things were, they had the capability to maneuver in ways that no human could endure. I'm not saying they were aliens, but I am saying that I never did learn what it was (and this event had been classified for years and I was never to talk about it, not even to my wife. It was finally declassified years later). This article was from the Great Falls Tribune, sometime in the mid 80s.

This aspect has been bugging me ever since he Hubble pics.
Why are they using the phony 'star' filters on these images?
I understand the colorization but the star filter is just tarting up the beauty.
Are we that shallow that we need this effect???

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe the raw images don't look as impressive?
 
" ... Are we that shallow that we need this effect???"

Sadly ... a great majority of people - it could be.
 
No filter, those are "diffraction spikes." residual IR hitting detectors after being passed through second mirror and "aperture" controls.

Nothing was embellished for any enhanced visual effect. *sheesh*

Wondering About the 6 Rays Coming out of JWST's Test Image? Here's why They Happen

The new image taken by James Webb... were you wondering why it looks so spikey? As it turns out, that's an effect caused by its segmented mirrors!

I'm going to call BS, since the same effect has been used on the Hubble.
What the artical is saying, is it's caused by the unique construction of the mirrors and struts.
I'm not a telescope optics expert but not convinced.
 
Hubble is also a MIRROR telescope. Same issue, but with only FOUR "points" from fewer mirrors. It is not an "effect' used to "pretty up" the images.
