It's not just that - Hubble took about 2 weeks to image that part of the sky. JWST took 12.5 hours. Here's the Hubble version:

Just look how much more you can see of the more distant (red-shifted) galaxies further away:

Image fun. This telescope has a lifespan of at least five years. And these are just a few weeks of images.

Artemis 1 hopefully today on it's way to the Moon. This isn't a manned mission, it's a test, but if all goes well the next one (in 18 months to 2 years) will see man orbit the Moon once more. The craft uses old bits of Shuttle technology. Future missions will use the Human Landing System, which will likely be Starship, from SpaceX.

On a related note the stupidity and ignorance of some Twitter commentators on footage like the above is astonishing. "Why can't you see the stars", "Why isn't it hitting anything", "My Nest camera is better", "Why is it 720p"

Dickheads.

Nah its cool. If *we* find something its probably gonna be some microbe, at best a lichen, in most likelihoods. If something finds *us*, e.g. an efficiently interstellar capable species observes our planet, there is literally nothing we have that they would want. We won't even know. You can keep watching the films in your living room :)
