🧵 SOMBRERO GALAXY UPDATE

One of the most iconic hubbel telescope images has gotten a webb revamp recently. Here it is. I love seeing huge stellar masses like this with the light of the galactic center shining off of them. It produces a strange sense of scale that only emerges when abstract cosmological ideas are made knowable in human terms. Like when you see the moon in the sky and can see the little craters on the surface, the shadows projected on its surface, and so on. It gives you just the smallest sense of the true scale of the solar system. The planets, in that moment, are made more real than any astrology class could ever make them.
I'm not sure how to describe this feeling.

You know neither of those are real images, right? You might as well be saying how cool it was when Brie Larson saved the day in Endgame.

so why is like 100,000 light years mostly cleared out? how does that happen?

Why is James Webb so soulless?

Noise adds SOVL to images, no matter how much it may trigger basedentists

New upscale of the AI simulation just dropped y'all! GPU's never gonna recover from this.

Mond works because gravity is cylindrical.

There must be a way to share the real picture as a data for the whole spectrum, then you could choose to see the closest one to a real picture by limiting the spectrum to the visible range.
The hubble is likely closer to the real thing than webb. Because the milky way looks like that, just go to a desert and look up the sky
