    James Webb Telescope

    I have always been interested in astronomy, probably since watching Cosmos on the Telly back in the 70s and 80s and to see the pictures from the James Webb telescope today looking back 13 billion years is pretty amazing. Given that scientists think the universe is 13.8bn years old, we are getting close to seeing back to the beginning of time. If we get there, I wonder want they will find!

    I was listening to a cosmic scientist trying to explain the size of the area these shots cover. She said it's like focusing on a grain of sand held at arms length. Mind blowing.
