James Webb Space Telescope Image

[bobby_hamill]

I was looking at the James Webb Space Telescope of the "Stephan's Quintet" and I said to
myself that would look cool on the man cave wall and wondered how big the photograph would be at 100 % .

The high resolution image downloaded is 182MB size pdf file

Here is what I got from my calculations



Original pixels = W 12654 H 12132

converted to inches = W 168.72" H 161.76"

Converted to feet = W 14.06' H 13.48'

Converted to DPI = 75

Sooooo that would result in a photo that is 14.06 feet X 13.48 feet at 75 dots per inch

I think the resulting photo would be over my budget.

So I will half to settle for a 11 x 17 print from my Xerox Phaser P7100 .

When I get the chance to replace the belt on my HP Designjet Z5200 wide
format printer I can make a 4 foot x 4 foot image

Fantastic images for the first reveal.

I would pay the price for this one done by Peter Lik.

The 5 galaxies are sure dazzling... But look at all the other stuff in the image. (Get the high res picture.). Every little smudge is another galaxy, waaay back in time... Boggles my little brain.

I think it helps to know how far 5 galaxies are, and so here's the answer:

NGC 7320 resides 40 million light-years from Earth, while the other four galaxies (NGC 7317, NGC 7318A, NGC 7318B, and NGC 7319) are about 290 million light-years away.

And "NGC" stands for "new general catalogue" (of things in the night sky).

Funkworks beet me to it

The Galaxy on the left is the close one 40 million light years away
The other 4 Galaxies that form a line from top to bottom are 290 million light-years away.

Note The speed of light is approx 186.282 miles per second

In 1 year light will travel 5,880,000,000,000 That is 5.88 Trillion miles !!

So if you were looking at a star that is 5.88 trillion miles away you would
see how the star looked 1 year ago !

Just imagine you are seeing how the 4 stars looked 290 million years ago !!!

To give everyone an example of an enlargement the red dot at the tip of the yellow
arrow is zoomed in by 505 % the red galaxy inside the yellow circle is the result

Here is a link to more images recently published. When you think about it, the universe is just so vast, it is incomprehensible to our little minds.

Micrometeorite damage to JWST:

Very misleading headline for that video. Most images appear to be of Hubble origin. And the black hole image is from the Event Horizon Telescope.

Nice collection of images from hubble, james web, and other illustrations.

Apparently a French scientist posted a picture of a slice of Chorizo and said it was a shot of a distant star.

I never "sausage" a thing.

I know he apologized for the trick, but by glory that is a great reminder of how easily we can be deceived.
