Not scary ... too distant hopefully should it be questioning our very existence :thumbup:

When I were a raw lad of 12, I traveled across the US with 3 brothers and a brother-in-law. I remember a rather rustic restaurant we ate in - there were few, if any, chain eateries in the mid '50s - I looked around as curious lads will. I looked up into the open rafter space and in the dim, dark I made out a sign. It read: What the Hell are You Looking up Here For?

Maybe that sign has been astronomically rendered. :flee:

Nowadays it should read "here's Your Sign", Bob. :laugh: :rofl:

That's a most peculiar JWST image!

I thought it was a joke till I saw space.com and then Matt Caplan.

I found it suspicious too.
I checked it in several places before posting it here!

I agree that it is questionable. :flee:

I see what I would call pinwheel galaxies and maybe a planet or two and some stars, but what is that cloud appearing at upper left? Space dust?

Yes, that's space dust within our own galaxy, reflecting the light of nearby stars.
