Reposted by Jenna Moore, Ph. D. 🔭✨Dr. Skylar Grayson @skylargrayson.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Take a bit of time today to explore this mind blowing JWST image 🤯 You’re looking at a cluster, 4.5 billion light years away, whose gravity is warping space and lensing the light of background galaxies. This is one of the deepest JWST images ever… (cont.) 📸: NASA, ESA, CSA, H Atek, M Zamani 56810
Reposted by Jenna Moore, Ph. D. 🔭✨Simons Observatory @simonsobservatory.org · 28/04/2025We had snow last week at our site! Our telescopes 🔭 like being cold, our teams not so much. Here you are looking inside the sun-shield of one of the SO SATs, the actual lenses and the focal plane sit beneath that shiny cover, cooled to cryogenic temperatures.
