Opinion: A picture may paint a thousand words, but the first image from the James Webb Space Telescope tells a story spanning 13 billion years, writes Sabine Bellstedt
In these baby galaxies, photons of light were released that would go on to have an incredible 13 billion-year journey. Travelling through space and time, their path would be jostled and bent by the huge galaxy cluster along the way, passing through the vastness of ever-expanding space, until eventually hitting a gold-plated mirror and being reflected into a marvel of modern engineering. Thanks to this journey, the answers to our cosmic origins story are within grasp.
From the origin of our periodic table, to the search for planets like ours, our place in the universe is being placed into focus. The success of the images we’re seeing this week is a reminder that we can set lofty goals, and that with ambition, collaboration, expertise, and funding, we can produce an outcome that is truly inspirational.
