Padna many of us cannot wait.
What we really should be doing is praying they are not more intelligent than humans.
The bigger picture is relativity of size,or possibly perspective.a grain of sand under a high powered microscope has lots of empty space with particles floating in the space.We would never know how tiny and insignificant we are based purely on size.Our universe could be a grain of sand on a beach in a larger 'Universe' for all we know.Until we know any better, we have to rely on what proper observations revealaaron17 wrote:We aint seeing the bigger picture.

Paradoxically, although we can study individual stars and interstellar clouds that lie near the Sun in great detail, our location within the Galactic disk makes deciphering our Galaxy’s large-scale structure from Earth a very difficult task... a little like trying to unravel the layout of paths, bushes, and trees in a NYC park without being able to leave one particular park bench. In some directions, the interpretation of what we see is ambiguous and inconclusive. In others, foreground objects completely obscure our view of what lies beyond, but we cannot move around them to get a better look. As a result, astronomers who study the Milky Way Galaxy are often guided in their efforts by comparisons with
more distant, but much more easily observable, systems.
It's like we living in a dam galactic jail cell....
another example is the fact that humans may never get a change to study (or begin to analyze) the great attractor cuz it's in the general direction of the center of the milky way
imagine, when they unpack the data for the arced galaxies, and the examine the lens corrected images, if they might find a spare 'e' lying around... boggles the mind to think of the possibilities.

geeez, what the actual FFFFFFFF
Here we highlight some of our favorite parts of the CEERS NIRCam image where the six inset boxes zoom in on some objects of interest which we describe below:
1. A spiral galaxy at a redshift of z = 0.16. The resolution of the JWST imaging reveals a large number of blue star-forming clumps and star clusters.
2. A chance alignment of a bright galaxy at a redshift z = 1.05 with several smaller galaxies forming an arc in the sky when viewed from JWST.
3. An interacting system of galaxies at z = 1.4, dubbed the “Space Kraken” by the CEERS team.
4. Two interacting spiral galaxies at z = 0.7. The arrow points to a supernovae discovered with these JWST images.
5. Another spiral galaxy, also at z = 0.7, again highlighting JWST’s ability to resolve small-scale features even for modestly distant galaxies.
6. A chance alignment of a z = 0.63 galaxy with a tidal tail, and a grouping of red galaxies at z = 1.85

i tell my friend this same thing weekend gone lol
and we will offer our help in return for plans for our first hyperdrive

In a wide-field view, Webb sees Jupiter with its faint rings, which are a million times fainter than the planet, and two tiny moons called Amalthea and Adrastea. The fuzzy spots in the lower background are likely galaxies “photobombing” this Jovian view.
In the standalone view of Jupiter, created from a composite of several images from Webb, auroras extend to high altitudes above both the northern and southern poles of Jupiter. The auroras shine in a filter that is mapped to redder colors, which also highlights light reflected from lower clouds and upper hazes. A different filter, mapped to yellows and greens, shows hazes swirling around the northern and southern poles. A third filter, mapped to blues, showcases light that is reflected from a deeper main cloud.
The Great Red Spot, a famous storm so big it could swallow Earth, appears white in these views, as do other clouds, because they are reflecting a lot of sunlight.
“The brightness here indicates high altitude – so the Great Red Spot has high-altitude hazes, as does the equatorial region,” said Heidi Hammel, Webb interdisciplinary scientist for solar system observations and vice president for science at AURA. “The numerous bright white ‘spots’ and ‘streaks’ are likely very high-altitude cloud tops of condensed convective storms.” By contrast, dark ribbons north of the equatorial region have little cloud cover.
