them at high-resolution and see a tiny speck of the universe as it would have looked a mere billion years after the first rays of light appeared.
You are looking at stars and galaxies that are speeding away from earth at such high speeds the wavelength has been stretched below the visible range into the infrared range – which means an optical telescope would capturethis kind of light so it could be shifted back into a range we can see. The result is like looking at a post card sent 13 billion years ago.
That image has been on a rough journey too – the light wrestles with gravitational fields strong enough to smear the shapes – like looking through a raindrop on the windshield. But to me the most terrifying thing about all this is that the first image we’re seeing, according to the NASA news release, displays an area of the sky so small that it would be covered by balancing a grain of sand on your finger at arm’s length as you look up.
I’m excited about exploring the mysteries of space, but at the same time – I realize that the smarter we get, the tinier we become.
