this view of nearly 10,000 galaxies was the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos, it shows a deep core sample of the universe. the total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between sept. 24, 2003 and jan. 16, 2004.

i've been doing an astronomy internship this summer, and we recently talked about the space telescopes! wanted to personify some of them hehe.

James Webb (they/them): Their shiny poncho thing is inspired by the solar shield. They have a rivalry with Hubble, believing him to be obsolete. However, they secretly are worried they won't be able to live up to his legacy.

Hubble (he/him): His glasses represent the COSTAR instrument that was installed on Hubble to correct it's blurry images. He finds James Webb's attempt at a rivalry amusing, and just wants to become friends with the younger fella and help them out.

Nancy Grace Roman (she/her): A telescope not yet launched, she's an old NRO telescope, and is having trouble adjusting from a life of espionage to one of science.

From the depths of the ocean to the most distant galaxies, we’re all connected! 💫 💙

Recently, @montereybayaquarium Executive Director Julie Packard and Space Telescope Science Institute Director Dr. Jennifer M. Lotz were honored with 2024 Clarke Foundation awards.

In celebration, the Aquarium has partnered with STScI to bring you images from outer space and Earth’s life-giving ocean. It’s in moments like these that we can pause to appreciate and be in awe of the world we live in. As John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts wrote in “The Log from the Sea of Cortez”: “It is advisable to look from the tide pool to the stars and then back to the tide pool again.” ✨

“Hubble Tension”

James Webb & Hubble telescopes have confirmed the “Hubble Tension,” revealing that the universe expands at different rates depending on how it’s measured.

This mystery challenges our understanding of cosmic expansion, suggesting the universe’s rules may have changed over time.
