Sartek Skybox - JWST Deep Field Background

Stellaris 4. 3.* /// First JWST Deep Field image: "A flurry of bright white galaxies is stirring up this scene – captured in high resolution by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Known as galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, the group of galaxies is also bending and warping the light from more distant galaxies behind them, stretching and repeating their appearances. Webb’s near- and mid-infrared imaging – and highly detailed data known as spectra – will allow future researchers to finely catalog the precise compositions of galaxies in the early universe, which may ultimately reshape our understanding of how galaxies changed and evolved over billions of years." JWST Stephan’s Quintet image: "In an enormous new image, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals never-before-seen details of the galaxy group called "Stephan’s Quintet." The close proximity of this group gives astronomers a ringside seat to galactic mergers and interactions. Rarely do scientists see in so much detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation in each other, and how the gas in these galaxies is being disturbed. Stephan’s Quintet is a fantastic "laboratory" for studying these processes fundamental to all galaxies. The image also shows outflows driven by a supermassive black hole in one of the group’s galaxies in a level of detail never seen before. Tight galaxy groups like this may have been more common in the early universe when superheated, infalling material may have fueled very energetic black holes." This is a token of appreciation for all the scientific efforts made by Earth's James Webb Space Telescope Team. It replaces Stellaris galaxy background with the first JWST's deep field image, and if you look behind, as a bonus, you can also contemplate Stephan’s Quintet with as much resolution as Stellaris allows. Optional: Inside the auxiliary folder there is a previous version with another galaxy at the bottom, you are free to try it out, but keep in mind that the default version (when you downl
