Ahem.
July 12th is when we’ll see the first science pics.

Hope there isn't an exposed exhaust port...
First image.
So the roundy colorful things are galaxies, right?
WTF are those big bright mfers?
acket.
My guess is that the big bright bits are closer-to-us stars that are part of the image. Interestingly, the reddish galaxies are red because they're moving away from us.
Everything is moving away from us… so everything is a bit red to us. Not really sure why some are redder than others… Perhaps they are further away and therefore moving faster away from us?
Need DN to help us solve this mystery.
Speak for yoself, beesh. My magnetism is powerful, I bend light away from the curvature of space.Originally Posted by Crazed_Insanity

If the big bright mfers are sharp and have diffraction spikes they will be stars and will be close.
If they are fuzzy they are galaxies and will be far away.
If they are fuzzy and look bent they are galaxies and will be very far away.

. The spiked objects are local stars in our own Galaxy. ignore them. Everything else is an entire galaxy. Many distort into arcs, revealing spacetime curvature from the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the image's center.

Looks like most of the 'red' things are smaller and do not have any spikes... so they're probably further away and moving faster away?
Oh, also saw some Hubble vs JWST pics. It's like getting a new pair of glasses!
