7hrs with the Edge
#A Galaxy Far, Far Away (about 19 billion light years to be exact)
distant cloud
comparison with hubble:
to be clear, the galaxy thats 19 billion light years is the ring, being gravitationally lensed by the cluster in the centre of the comparison images
also 19bly is COMOVING distance, so the current distance accounting for the expansion of the universe. the actual light is only about 10bly old

do you know what the radial velocity is?
pretty impressive btw

this is sick mate, which edge?

This is probably some 3rd grader ass question, but how can we see it if it's 19b light uears away and universe only exist for 14b?
fluid yoke
also 14 billion is an estimate i thougt
True
And also holy crap!
How the hell do you get this
Like what?
fluid yoke
Hubble has competition that's not the jwst
alpine sigil
yes, samsung galaxy a23 (has galaxy in name)
fluid yoke
Setup?

do you know what the radial velocity is?
no sorry, but its called sunburst galaxy maybe theres research on it

this is sick mate, which edge?

This is probably some 3rd grader ass question, but how can we see it if it's 19b...
not a 3rd grader question, and its cuz the light has been travelling for ~10b years, and during that time, the distance between us has increased to 19bly thru the expansion of the universe.
the cosmic microwave background is over 40bly comoving, which is the furthest thing observable, its essentially the edge of the universe

Ooh, probably could have used my brain to figure that one out, but thanks so much for the explanation

Ooh, probably could have used my brain to figure that one out, but thanks so muc...
its fine, i was confused about the same thing when i first learnt about comoving distance

Wow, absolutely impressive! What pixel scale do you have?

Wow, absolutely impressive! What pixel scale do you have?
i think about 0.4"/px
but my guiding was going from 0.3-0.6" so im very oversampled
well not "very" but yeah i am over
