[Friends_of_SSASTROS] If this image doesn't amaze you...

[Mike McCabe]

...then you're too cool for school!
I know that at least some of you go to the APOD site regularly, but for those who don't or haven't today, you may want to reconsider your ways. Today's featured image is a mosaic of an Abell galaxy cluster region taken by the new James Webb Space Telescope. It is shown below, but to truly appreciate it you need to download the attached version and blow it up full size in your photo viewer. There is such an astonishingly high number of galaxies in there that even the pros were slack-jawed, and on top of that there are the unmistakable displays of Albert Einstein's theorized gravitational warping of the fabric of space and time from the massive gravity of galaxy clusters.



More information about this stunning example of our latest space exploration capabilities can be found at both the APOD page and the NASA website, links to which I have provided below.

Keep Looking Up!
Sincerely,
