I get that websites need to generate at least enough money to pay for themselves, but an average of 2 sentences per ad is crazy.

I think that's great. Buy Dominos pizza. In fact, I've decided to have my own comments sponsored. Buy Ford cars. So everything other sentence is now an advertisement. Buy Tide detergent. I hope it's not too distracting. Buy Samsung televisions. In any case, that's a cool picture!

My favorite part was the fact they're like "it's SPOOOOKYYY!!!" in the title. It's literally just like, a different angle from the original famous image of the pillars of creation, there's nothing spooky about it.

Got to get those clicks I guess though!

Looks pretty spooky to me. Like apparitions appearing out of a dark mist.

I also see a hand throwing up the horns 🤘

A lot of shapes/images pop out to me in this picture. It's a really amazing one.

That specific site's been uselessly bad for awhile. At this point they're basically mirroring/rephrasing other, better sites' articles, so there's nothing really lost by not going there.

Like I've said before, it shouldn't be allowed to link non NASA sites for NASA photos

Good lord. I was not expecting getting the feeling of reading a good sci-fi but kinda sad!

I wish I was smart enough to understand what that means. My brain reads “mid infrared, blah, blah, blah”. Stunning photo, though.

It’s so wild to try to imagine the sheer scale of these things. Lightyears across.

Zenki_s14 t1_iu6zwpq wrote

5 lightyears across, 1 lightyear being 6 trillion miles or 9 trillion km. Just completely unfathomable. And the pillars are just a small feature of the Eagle nebula. Wild indeed

Ah yes, snap is how these images are gotten

jbcraigs t1_iu5z2sq wrote

Pfft! Obviously not.

You also have to apply some additional snapchat filters.

You can’t do this to me. The first line of the title for me reads “JWST snaps”. My heart sunk for a second before I managed to read all of it.

Zakluor t1_iu5wcwu wrote

Yeah, another user said something similar about the use of the word: these are time exposures, not 'snapshots'. It's a poor choice of word for more than one reason.

I like spooky things.

I also like telescope things.

Spooky telescope things?!

Gorgeous photos of an iconic nebula. At first I thought “these pictures aren’t right-side-up” and then I thought, “oh yeah, there’s no such thing as ‘up’”

How is that super spooky? Don't get me wrong: the images are amazing. But I was more in awe than spooked. I don't get the title ... unless it was yet another clickbait thing...

They mapped the color palette to a spooky ghostly white with an orange background.

EpicForgetfulness t1_iu76q3q wrote

It might have been mental conditioning from the title or the colors or both but I swear it looks like there's some kind of demon creature thing's face in roughly the lower middle of the left-most column. Try to unsee it once you see it.

I had not been super impressed by images from Webb until these came out.

How is that "spooky"? Tell us, validate your use of the word.
