I was very dismayed when a micrometeorite larger than anticipated struck one of the mirrors even before the JWST started its real work. Impacts of a certain size and frequency were planned for but this already went outside predictions. Scary stuff.

Despite this one hiccup, I've been quivering in anticipation for months for all the new images and data it will show us.

Did you see the Carina Nebula Webb VS Hubble pic comparison?

The added detail is amazing. Can't wait to see what they find. So exciting!

Question

Question for the astrophysics freaks: If I use the telescope to look back 13B years, and then (thought experiment) I move to the place I am looking and continue to look in the same direction, what do I see? The expanding universe, run backwards, suggests that there must have been a big bang. But doesn't that also suggest an outer limit to the edge of the universe in the same way? I've always wanted to ask Neil DeGrasse Tyson that question, but you lot will have to do.

When the implosion occurs when the expansion reverses....


Or did it already, and it will just take 'time' and 'space' more time to do a poof into nothingness?
