Musk Downplays NASA Photos Of Cosmos

Billionaire Elon Musk, known for boasting he will send a million people to colonize Mars and race cars on the moon but failing to deliver his Cybertruck on time, took a jab at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for presenting photographs of the universe taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Photo Insert: What NASA described as "The deepest and sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken" has been downplayed by Elon Musk in yet another controversial tweet.

On Friday, Musk attempted to downplay NASA's release of amazing photos of the universe captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Musk posted a photo to Twitter with the message "Nice try, NASA" that portrayed a kitchen slab with a design like the cosmos.

According to critics, this demonstrates that Musk was envious. Recently, a fire ignited the rocket being tested by SpaceX, severely undermining his claim that he can transport more satellites and people in record speed. Previously, four SpaceX rockets have exploded.

On Monday, Webb unveiled the clearest image to date of the 13 billion-year-old early cosmos. The breathtaking image, unveiled in a White House briefing by U.S. President Joe Biden, contains thousands of galaxies and some of the smallest objects ever detected.

It is referred to as Webb's First Deep Field and depicts the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, which works as a gravitational lens, bending light from more distant galaxies behind it towards the observatory in a cosmic magnification effect.

Webb, which was launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana in December 2021, is orbiting the Sun at a distance of one million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth, in a region of space known as the second Lagrange point.

Here, the spacecraft maintains a stable position relative to the Earth and Sun, requiring minimum fuel for course corrections.

The total cost of the project is anticipated to be $10 billion, making it one of the most expensive scientific platforms ever constructed, similar to CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
