Two Weeks of the Webb Space Telescope


Here's a summary of what's been seen so far at Quanta Magazine.

GLASS-13 seems to be the second most distant object ever imaged, at 33.3 billion light years, and was picked up in a relatively quick, almost offhand look.  Imagine what we'll see when the Webb team really gets down to business.  Gratuitous Extra Link: Wikipedia page of most distant astronomical objects.  The current most-distant, HD1, really is a mysterious thing.  I'm sure the Webb will get around to it in due time.
