Part 2: The JWT Deep Field
1)      What
is a “Deep Field” image? Have we taken these sorts of “deep field” images
before? How does the JWT compare to other telescopes of the past (if
applicable)?
2)      What
are some of the physics that appears in this galaxy (like why do some galaxies seem to be streteched out or duplicated/mirrored?)? You may find this link
helpful in discussing some of that:

3)      Approximately
what fraction of the night sky is this image covering?
4)      Finally,
just simply include one reaction that you and at least one other person had to
any of the images from the JWT thus far.

Must have a bible verse.
It’s hard to fathom how large the
universe is. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of
the beaches in the entire world. Next time you go to the beach, you can imagine
at least one star, like our sun, for every grain of sand you pick up in your
hand. And as the Psalmist writes:
“How precious to me are your thoughts, a God! How vast is the sum of
them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand”—Psalm
139:17-18a
And everything that you will look
at in this assignment was completely unknown to humanity before 1900. One
famous astronomer, Simon Newcomb, infamously proclaimed in 1888, “we are probably nearing the limit of all we
can know about astronomy.”
Part 1a: The James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWT’s) Goals
First, take a look at the goals of the JWT curteousy of
NASA:

On this page you can see main category:
1.    Star Lifecycle
With this category and address
the following:
1.
Provide a brief summary of what is currently
known about the topic.
2.
What are some of the unknowns about the topic?
3.
How might the JWT shed light on this topic?
