JWST released an image of the Chamaeleon I Molecular Cloud. Thoughts?

NASA is largely a make-work program for affirmative action beneficiaries, they can't and don't do most of their own work. Either that or they just won't do it, they use contractors for any real work and then the NASA affirmative action negroes, mexicans, feminists, cripples, jews and the physically and/or mentally disabled of NASA spend their days taking selfies and Tweeting about what scientists look like.

I often get the feeling these pics are mostly fake error garbage. They keep talking about false color images and such. Why does it look like a bunch of smoky vapor? There's no huge clouds of smoke in space.

A nebula ('cloud' or 'fog' in Latin;[1] pl. nebulae, nebulæ or nebulas[2][3][4][5]) is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust. Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula. In these regions, the formations of gas, dust, and other materials "clump" together to form denser regions, which attract further matter, and eventually will become dense enough to form stars. The remaining material is then thought to form planets and other planetary system objects.

Retarded. They hire contractors not because their scientists and engineers are incomponent, it's just cheaper for contractors to design components generally instead of hiring a bunch of people for one project since they already have the skills and experience. The Boeing and Lockheed guys working on it have worked on aerospace before.

in 1995, nasa announced that they were going to build jwst, they said it was going to take 12 years and cost half a billion dollars and that it would be an 8m telescope.
they were off by over an order of magnitude on the cost and way off on the other factors too, so yes, nasa scientists and engineers are incompetent. the ones who work on jwst are particularly incompetent. the nicmos retard worked on jwst, thats how stupid and incompetent the jwst ppl at nasa are.
but the general public can't tell the difference between sausage pics and space pics so none of it makes any difference, if jwst pics are fake or real makes no difference

Indeed. It is quite nice at higher resolutions. There is also spectra showing the ice absorbtion features.

Why are you talking about this instead of the Venus planet it found?

And when will we get pictures of some brown dwarfs?

>being off schedule means engineers and scientists are incompetent
Schedules are made up, and the cost of a project is made up. I can tell you never worked on a project like this before. You also don't even know the cause of delays.

How did they ruin it? I think the diffraction spikes are a nice feature.
