Webb Captures Stellar Gymnastics in the Cartwheel Galaxy

August 02, 2022 10:00AM (EDT)
Release ID: 2022-039


Summary

Webbโ€™s Instruments Reveal New Details About Star Formation
The Cartwheel Galaxy, a rare ring galaxy once shrouded in dust and mystery, has been unveiled by the imaging capabilities of NASAโ€™s James Webb Space Telescope.

The galaxy, which formed as a result of a collision between a large spiral galaxy and another smaller galaxy, not only retained a lot of its spiral character, but has also experienced massive changes throughout its structure...

PHYSICS, EARTH & SPACE
James Webb Telescope Goes Live: Stephen Meyer Reports
Evolution News @DiscoveryCSC

August 2, 2022, 6:33 AM

On a new episode of ID the Future, radio host Michael Medved sits down with Cambridge-trained philosopher of science Stephen Meyer to hear exciting news about the newly active James Webb Space Telescope, a telescope dramatically more powerful than the already extraordinarily powerful Hubble Space Telescope. The James Webb telescope was launched by NASA last Christmas and has begun returning a stream of dramatic images. Download the podcast or listen to it here.

The Record for the Farthest Galaxy just got Broken Again, now just 250 million years after the Big Bang

In a recent study submitted to MNRAS, a collaborative research team has utilized the first set of data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovering a galaxy candidate, CEERS-93316, that formed approximately 250 million years after the Bing Bang, which also set a new redshift record of z = 16.7. This finding is extremely intriguing as it demonstrates the power of JWST, which only started sending back its first set of data a few weeks ago. CEERS stands for Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey, and was specifically created for imaging with JWST.
...
โ€œThe past few weeks have been surreal, watching all the records that stood for a long time with Hubble be broken by JWST,โ€ says Dr. Rebecca Bowler, who is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow at the University of Manchester, and a co-author on the study. โ€œFinding a z = 16.7 galaxy candidate is an amazing feeling โ€“ it wasnโ€™t something we were expecting from the early data.โ€

If the direction that they are looking is supposed to be โ€œcloseโ€ to the Big Bang in time then the must be also looking toward the center of the observable universe, which in my mind would provide a singular physical point where the initial ignition (creation) occurred. Which suggests to me that looking in the opposite direction of that ignition point should (again in my mind) be where one would find the very oldest galaxiesโ€ฆif the universal expansion is a bubble. If the universal expansion speed itself is a constant, then we should be looking to find the special location where the โ€œedgeโ€ of the expanding universe is closest to us, and we should find the oldest galaxies at that edge. Right?ย 
ย 

However that only works if the universe is not endless. If it were like a man made explosion with a center point of the explosive force.

ย 

Somehow I think that Jehovahโ€™s universe creation process is far different that just that very simple singular point explosion throwing matter of all forms out in an expanding ball.

ย 

But the pictures are still fabulous irrespective of the brilliant (but limited) human brains and their deductions. I do love those pics!

John C. Mather, 2006 Physics Nobel Prize winner forย his work on theย Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite, says that naming it the Big Bang is essentially a misnomer and conjures up exactly the wrong impression.

ย 

https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27054

ย 

Whatโ€™s wrong with it?

Quote

It conjures up the image of a giant firecracker, an ordinary explosion happening at a place and a time, a collection of material suddenly beginning to expand into the surrounding empty space. But this is so exactly opposite to what astronomers have observed that it is shocking we still use the name, and it is not the least bit surprising that some people object to it. Einstein didnโ€™t like it at first but became convinced. Hoyle never liked it at all. People might like it better if they knew what it meant.

Quote

The second and more striking conclusion is that there is no center of this expansion, even though we seem to be at the center. We can imagine what an astronomer would see living in another distant galaxy, and she would also conclude that the universe appears to be receding from her own location. The upshot is that there is no sign of a center of the universe.ย So much for the โ€œgiant firecracker.โ€ A third conclusion is that there is no sign of an edge of the universe, no place where we run out of either matter or space.

This quote is even more striking:

Quote

Thereโ€™s another way in which the giant firecracker idea misleads us, because even scientists often talk about the โ€œuniverse springing into existence.โ€ Well, it didnโ€™t, as far as we can tell. The opposite is true. There is no first moment of time, just as there is no smallest positive number. In physics we have equations and laws of nature that describe how one situation changes into another, but we have no equations that show how true nothingness turns into somethingness. So, since the universe did not spring into existence, it has always existed, though perhaps not in its current form.

I donโ€™t quite agree but I do believe that the fundamental observations can be reconciled with what we know of the creator.

ย 

I thought I had another article on this topic to share but I canโ€™t find it in the sea of open tabs.ย

How can it be 250 million years after the Big Bang when it take twice or many more years to form a Galaxy?

You engage in a logical fallacy.ย  To lump all scientists together in such a fashion and then to use it as a wedge to promote an agenda is illogical and inappropriate.ย

Fraud in modern science is rampant.

ย 

Please ย go to our online library and type in โ€œfraud scienceโ€œ and see all the articles our organization has written about it.

ย 

We must remember, Satan is in control this system and everything in it, including the scientific community. It would be wise as a Christian to question everything and investigate for yourself, rather than to assume what they tell you in the media is the truth.

There is fraud in science, there is no question about that. But this particular case was just a joke. I found it really funny. :)

Are the Colours in Webb Telescope Images โ€˜Fakeโ€™?
Isaac Schultz
Published: August 6, 2022
ย 
On July 12, the first full-colour images from the Webb Space Telescope showed countless nebulae, galaxies, and a gassy exoplanet as they had never been seen before. But Webb only collects infrared and near-infrared light, which the human eye cannot see โ€” so where are these gorgeous colours coming from?
ย 
Image developers on the Webb team are tasked with turning the telescopeโ€™s infrared image data into some of the most vivid views of the cosmos weโ€™ve ever had. They assign various infrared wavelengths to colours on the visible spectrum, the familiar reds, blues, yellows, etc. But while the processed images from the Webb team arenโ€™t literally what the telescope saw, theyโ€™re hardly inaccurate.
ย 
โ€œSomething Iโ€™ve been trying to change peopleโ€™s minds about is to stop getting hung up on the idea of โ€˜is this what this would look like if I could fly out there in a spaceship and look at it?โ€™โ€ said Joe DePasquale...
ย 
โ€œI think thereโ€™s some connotations that go along with โ€˜colorizingโ€™ or โ€˜false colourโ€™ that imply thereโ€™s some process going on where weโ€™re arbitrarily choosing colours to create a colour image,โ€ DePasquale said.
ย 
"Representative colour is the most preferred term for the kind of work that we do, because I think it encompasses the work that we do of translating light to create a true colour image, but in a wavelength range that our eyes are not sensitive to.โ€

[My guess is you are travelling 8,300 Million Light years a second to get to there within the 60 second clip.

What I do not understand is: the distance away is 500 Million Light-years. But it is 440 Million Light-years wide.

More from Hubble:

Hubble Spots Farthest Star Ever Seen Thanks to Lucky Cosmic Alignment โ€“ โ€œWe Almost Didnโ€™t Believe it!"
By SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE
MARCH 30, 2022

The star nicknamed Earendel (indicated with arrow) is positioned along a ripple in spacetime that gives it extreme magnification, allowing it to emerge into view from its host galaxy, which appears as a red smear across the sky. The whole scene is viewed through the distorted lens created by a massive galaxy cluster in the intervening space, which allows the galaxyโ€™s features to be seen, but also warps their appearanceโ€”an effect astronomers call gravitational lensing. The red dots on either side of Earendel are one star cluster that is mirrored on either side of the ripple, a result of the gravitational lensing distortion. The entire galaxy, called the Sunrise Arc, appears three times, and knots along its length are more mirrored star clusters. Earendelโ€™s unique position right along the line of most extreme magnification allows it to be detected, even though it is not a cluster.
