Hi Res JPG

Wow, what an absolute stunner. Good job JW!

I’ve been waiting for over a decade for these images. It’s crazy that this is only a year in. Hubble didn’t hit its stride for five to ten years. (After they fixed the lease)

These are the baby steps.

Inverting the brightness of official releases can help make out detail (f or c)

JWST is so amazing. It's common that space missions outperform everyone's expectations, but it's quite rare when it completely blows all the expectations out of the water.

Hats off to anyone who participated in this herculean effort.

Sky news link in a science forum, really? Don't they promote covid conspiracies and all sorts of anti-science crap for their right-wing audience?
