Webb continues to blow our minds...

In case some haven't seen it, this from Webb last month, Pandora's Cluster. I know it is an over used term, firstly with HST images and now with Webb taking over but it truly is "mind boggling stuff"

Make sure you look at this on a proper monitor, preferably not in a brightly lit room and not just your phone screen and click on the image and then click again to enlarge....

Pandora's Cluster

I loved this comment by one of the investigators:

“Pandora’s Cluster, as imaged by Webb, shows us a stronger, wider, deeper, better lens than we have ever seen before,” Labbe said. “My first reaction to the image was that it was so beautiful, it looked like a galaxy formation simulation. We had to remind ourselves that this was real data, and we are working in a new era of astronomy now.”

Go Webb!
