Last year in 2021, on December 25, NASA launched a $10 billion dollar telescope named The James Webb Space Telescope, which is the largest and the most powerful space science telescope to date. The chase to know more about the dark void, the galaxies, the cosmos, and the life after the big bang, are still in the process. There are still mysteries left to crack. The James Webb Telescope is the successor to the famous Hubble Telescope, promising a lot of interesting objectives and aims.
NASA announced JWST has two primary goals. The foremost is to take pictures of the very first stars to shine since the big bang. The second is to identify far-off-planets that might be habitable. James Webb’s power and potential were realized as NASA revealed the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date, which was unveiled the first time before President Joe Biden. While Hubble took weeks to produce the image of the universe, Webb only took 12.5 hours of observations.

Twitter Reacts To Close-Up Picture of The Universe, Takes “We’re Not Actually Alone” Too Seriously
The intelligent collaboration between NASA, The European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) produced the impressive James Webb Space Telescope. People on Twitter reacted in a plethora of ways as they encountered the deepest-ever view of the cosmos. The image depicts various galaxies, some clustered, some distorted into arcs, and others revealing spacetime curvatures, and people reacted in all kinds of ways, from simple amazement to cracking possibilities of an alien invasion.
The image is a win for everyone who has been trying to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life in the vast space.
The tweet by NASA read, “Is this just me with my conspiracy fantasies or am I tying this all to the disclosure of the UFO phenomenon to educate the general public to the possibility of extraterrestrial life?”

Memes were quick to follow! Some netizens even brought back the classic Spider-Man meme, this time, featuring the Hubble telescope and the Webb Telescope.

Apart from ‘rolling on the floor laughing’ effect memes, Twitter also saw people sincerely dumbstruck by the enormity of the space and the unbounded beauty in the infinity.
President Joe Biden was shown the pictures of the cosmos during a White House Briefing on July 11. Biden was elated to remind everyone of the heights America can touch, and the capacities it can cross. He remarked, “We can see possibilities no-one has ever seen before. We can go places no-one has ever gone before.”
