Seeking out new lands so I can take all the photos 📷
Also: Breaking the internet, one misplaced semi-colon at a time
Continents: Completed. What's next?

We all wonder what's out there, let's find out...

Star light, star bright 🌌✨

The path up Kili takes you far away from those bright city lights and gives you a chance to enjoy a much more beautiful set of lights.

7,600 light-years away, some nubulae took my breath away...

Wow, wow, wow!

What a spectacular view of emerging stellar nurseries and how intense the ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from the extremely massive, hot, young stars from above this image must be! ✨🤱🔥🔭😍

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

🌟 A star is born!

Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

[Jonathan Batten 🚀 @JonathanBatten]

290 million light-years away, a battle royale of galaxies ensues!
Which one will reign supreme?
The scale and detail of this is awesome - it took over 1000 separate image files to make this and is over 150 million pixels in total! 😯🥊🌌🔭

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

✋🏼 Galactic high five!

In Webb’s image of Stephan’s Quintet, we see 5 galaxies, 4 of which interact. (The left galaxy is in the foreground!) Webb will revolutionize our knowledge of star formation & gas interactions in these galaxies: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

[Jonathan Batten 🚀 @JonathanBatten]

A dying star, one in a pair of stars, 2,000 light years away from Earth. Wow, seeing it across different wavelengths is unreal - you can even pick out each of them individually in the mid-infrared image! ✨🔭

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Put a ring on it! 💍

Compare views of the Southern Ring nebula and its pair of stars by Webb’s NIRCam (L) & MIRI (R) instruments. The dimmer, dying star is expelling gas and dust that Webb sees through in unprecedented detail: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

Detecting water on a planet 1,150 light-years from Earth.
Nothing to see here... 💦🌏🔭

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Clouds are in the forecast for exoplanet WASP-96 b! ☁️

Webb spotted the unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze & evidence for clouds (once thought not to exist there)! This is the most detailed exoplanet spectrum to date: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

[Jonathan Batten 🚀 @JonathanBatten]

Amazing! Wow from Webb 🛰🔭🌌✨

"This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground."

How freakin cool is that! 😮😯😱

Can't wait for tonight when all the first images are released! 🙌

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

Billions. 🌌✨

What you're looking at here is likely hundreds of billions of stars.
That's how many have been estimated to be in the Milky Way galaxy - our galaxy.
