That can't be electric, it's not on fire!

Some people simply shouldn’t be allowed out without their carer

He did buy a new wheel. Half way through the video the broken front wheel is replaced with a new one, while the rear one (that was perfectly fine) was hacked up to create this contraption.

I do have to admire his out of the box thinking, it makes sense when you think about it, but you'd have to be in a very strange place to think of it in the first place!

• President Joe Biden unveiled this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field, during a White House event Monday, July 11
• Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe
• Webb’s sharp near-infrared view brought out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most detailed view of the early universe to date
• NASA and its partners will release the full series of Webb’s first full-color images and data, known as spectra, Tuesday, July 12, during a live NASA TV broadcast

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.

Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.

This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.

The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.

This image is among the telescope’s first-full color images. The full suite will be released Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT, during a live NASA TV broadcast. Learn more about how to watch.

This stuff boggles my feeble mind (grain of sand bit)

will all become clear when i pass in another 10 or so years? 

I try not to think about it and waste cpu cycles looping.

[Bibs]

It's mind bending stuff! More pics from James Webb here...

All those star systems and galaxies, there's got to be life out there. Not that we'll ever visit it in our lifetime and they sure as hell aren't visiting us with the current state of humanity.

Undoubtedly. It is incredibly arrogant or ignorant to think otherwise IMHO.

And its not got its hottest yet.

Looks like a good track in (parts of) Africa

[Kimbers]

We can see galaxies Hundreds of millions of Light years away. Yet people still use CCTV like this! Go figure!

[comem47]

looks like Hubble before they had a mission to fix it. Give NASA a call !!!

[Bibs]

The JWST did cost $10bn, not sure many people spend that kind of money on CCTV!
