@vhirshmon @TribelSocial @elonmusk I’m starting to look into @joinmastodon , looks like a really cool alternative!

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.

Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: https://t.co/63zxpNDi4I

Thanks to all co-authors for this effort! This paper is really about what happens when a group of dedicated engineers & scientists come together and decide to build a community
