Reply to comment by foodfightbystander in TIL Following World War One Canada sent 799 body parts extracted from soldiers back to Canada to be part of a museum. The museum was never built, instead the organs became teaching aids at McGill University before being destroyed around 1960. by jamescookenotthatone

And that is how we ended up with the Universal Soldier and RoboCop programs. I'm glad in WW1 we didn't have the reanimation technological advances that lead to those disasters.

You mean quoting? It's so that when there are lots of replies to a comment and then replies to those replies someone reading this comment knows what's it's in reference to.

> Isn’t the JWST 1000000kms from the Hubble telescope. What you see is a million kilometres view angle difference also.
And we're taking photos of things 63,000,000,000,000,000 km away, so the viewing angle is almost exactly the same.
edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/ygq9yq/pillars_of_creation_scale/ this explains pretty well why the distance between Hubbel and JWST makes no difference to the angle in photographing thing this far away.

They're 7,000 light-years away from us. A light year is 6,000,000,000,000 miles so these things are 42,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. A couple hundred thousand miles between camera locations aren't going to do shit to perspective.
> The object that we're "viewing" and the telescopes have all been moving since the first images were captured.
Again, they're 7,000 light-years away, in the 30 years between photos there wasn't enough time for things to move enough to have any impact
