Space is to place as eternity is to time.
— Joseph Joubert
Deep space is basically incomprehensible. We can see things and measure distances, but when you try to actually grasp those distances, you begin to realize just how miniscule and insigificant we really are. Fear not! We are slowly coming to understand more about deep space than we previously could have ever imagined! With each new discovery, we come closer to understanding just how the Universe works, and where we fit in to everything.

By now you've probably heard about the James Webb Space Telescope, the new, multi-billion dollar telescope orbiting the sun about a million miles from Earth. We're just as excited as you are! Check out the new photos at NASA's website using the button below.
