These pics remind me of a particular humid and moldy Georgia summer when I was a teenager...

The similarities between the solar system and the orbit of electrons in an atom sent me on a bit of an awakening "experience" ... of course that led to an intense discussion about whether Adam was a typo. Good times, good times.

And I thought I was the only one having those trips… the Atoms/planets really shook my teenage years. In a good way.
 
Life changing to be honest. You don't forget that sort of thing.

I've always imagined an animated sequence where you start from a distant view of Earth (or any other planet) and quickly zoom in until you're looking at individual atoms, focusing onto a single electron, continuing in until the whole thing essentially repeats endlessly.

If you can imagine this happening in all directions simultaneously, and including every single atom in universe it's a bit mind blowing... granted it's was always a bit harder to envision the big picture the following day. (and it's not the sort of thing you can exactly "write down")

Photos like this confirm (to me at least) that this was more than just a silly idea, and your mind really does open up beyond the boundaries of what we call "reality" ...

I'm too old for this now, I don't think I could handle it. :ROFLMAO:

The Chev Nova didn't sell well in Latin-American countries, "no va" translated back to English "doesn't go".

Yes, miscellaneous ramblings as I'm at a loss for proper words to respond adequately to the JWST images.
 
You must pretty proud, Chuck! It's wonderful that the wealthiest nation on earth (I think!) spends the money on something as incredible as this rather than just bombs. This stuff is important. Real "makes you feel small" stuff. Mind blown!

If you can make an extra cold air-conditioning work way up in space then my overdrive pedals must be a walk in the park.
