I never thought I’d say this after reading an Arstechnica article, but this was beautifully written.

just my take, but ars is one of the few commercial sites that can almost get an automatic headline upvote before reading the article… almost

still a pretty impressive feat these days. hopefully it stays that way.

Agreed, I never feel taken for a ride or baited into clicking their articles.

I thought the same thing! I can’t believe it’s already been a year, so amazing what we’ve been able to learn with Webb.

My thought exactly. Really enjoyed this article. Thanks OP! I’m excited they are releasing more about their findings. I would also like to know what questions the new technology has answered beyond more dynamic pictures. I guess this photo wasn’t possible with Hubble?

390 light years away

Does that mean the image is from 390 years ago?

Yes, if one of those stars blew up 389 years ago, we’d see it next year
