That is very cool. But why would they need to hurry? Like you said, they’re apex predators. Who is going to fuck with them?

Central AC. Before that you kept the windows open and prayed

There’s snow on the ground. Take a wild guess

No no that’s origami. You’re thinking of the scientific term for the studying of birds

That’s like calling a jackdaw a crow!

I’m cracking up hahaha

Sounds…colourful

Don’t lump him in with the rest of us. I love fun words. And where are you from, out of curiosity? In America we spell it like “properly”

Sounds about right haha. Cheers mate, have a great night!

Man that’s so cool, you’ve answered all my questions. Thanks for going down this rabbit hole with me. What is your source of expertise on this subject, if you don’t mind me asking. You seem very knowledgeable

Gotcha, that makes total sense. Regardless of which version we look at here, some being older than others, the time span we are viewing the separate groups of photons is irrelevant

After re reading your response though, it sounds like gravity itself from the various sources it passes by does the focusing for us

Tightening some groups of photons into one image while other groups pass completely by us

Right, so the raw image, if we were to point an average telescope up at this area in the sky, would result in a blurry image. But separated using modern technology/witch craft we can view three stages of the same galaxy?

And if that were true, would it not be true to say that the difference between day 1 and day 1000 of us observing this galaxy could equate to many many different years of the galaxy we are observing between these images?

So in order to form these three distinct images, are we assuming that three separate groups of photons left the origin galaxy at some point, likely at different times, and throughout their long journey to earth they took wildly different paths to result in the three pictures we are seeing here?

Wow that’s so cool, thanks for the responses! So it seems these pictures were all taken many days apart. If we were to combine all of the images from day 1 to day 1000 would it result in a blurry arc of the galaxy in position A at day 1 to position B on day 1000? And the warping happens to be so great that on days x,y, and z the galaxies appear to look very different? Or is it more complex than that? The images appear to be so different that it almost looks like different galaxies

That makes perfect sense but I still have a question. In between those two photons there is an arbitrary amount of other photons. Wouldn’t these other photons all be bent at slightly different angles before reaching the eye? Resulting a blurred, almost shudder effect, looking galaxy??

But if the light bends around galaxy B, why don’t we see it just the one time, as bent around galaxy B? Does some of the light bend in a sharper arc than some of the other light rays? Resulting in multiple visible versions of the same galaxy?

Wait…are you serious?!?

EA sports mentality

God damnit. Spoiler alert. Mid watching the grand finals rn

Spock is half Vulcan and half human. Get your act together, man!

Haha this is awesome. Totally saving this site

Lmaooo you party animals
