I just wait for the moment they end up photographing the Creator getting away from our Big Bang... on His way to the next...

But you DO KNOW this is not from a telescope, in reality this was a joke and just shows a slice of Chorizo (a spanish sausage). Maybe the Creator will eat it....

This thread was the first time I saw the image and I was blown away ... until my wife told me it was just a hoax 🙂

In any way, I wanted to know if the Webb telescope could actually make a photo like that. It has a resolution of about 0.1 arc seconds, but to take a photo like that sausage shot of Alpha Centauri, I would have to be about 1000 times better. I guess we will have to wait for another 30 years.

I have no interest in seeing this man's sausage. 😲

Maybe the universe was created from the Big Banger.

And a cyclic universe where everything eventually contracts is known as "Bangers And Mash". 

US people may need to research that. They no little of our strange ways.

For a renown physicist to post a pizza image is hilarious. He was probably counting hours trying to guess how many hours it would take until someone realized his stunt, LOL !

Well, having read the article in its entirety, the photo of the "cartwheel galaxy" was genuinely taken by the JW Telescope. It is awesome!

He didn't. It wasn't a pizza. It was a sausage. Maybe now you will get my hilarious joke. And give me the praise a great comedian deserves. 😉
