First Light

This first image is from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), released today. To say: “historic” is an understatement. This is a glimpse into the early universe. Before we were merely crawling. Now we will take our first baby step and begin the next chapter of our story on Earth and beyond. These first images are profound and forever stir our consciousness to new levels…and this is just the start. This deep field image size is the same as a grain of sand at arm’s length. Mind-blowing! Look at the immense number of galaxies. There are details here from over 13 billion years, not long after the Big Bang. The power of human ingenuity moves another step closer to the stars and beyond.
