NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is often called a “time machine.” On Tuesday, the $10 billion telescope earned that nickname after NASA released five images of the universe as it appeared ~13.5 billion years ago—or 300 million years after the Big Bang. The pictures deliver the deepest, sharpest, and most telling look yet into how galaxies merge, where stars are formed, the composition of space objects, and much more. Compare and contrast: The Webb is 100 times faster and more powerful than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope—and that’s because of tech advancements over the past three decades, Stefanie Milam, a deputy project scientist for planetary science on the James Webb Space Telescope team, told us. Hubble was primarily a visible-light telescope, whereas Webb uses infrared spectrometers and cameras, plus large mirrors, allowing it to deliver higher-resolution images than ever before. The telescope’s multi-shutter array allows it to collect information on up to 100 different galaxies at once, compared to Hubble’s one-at-a-time operation. https://www.emergingtechbrew.com/stories/2022/07/15/time-machine-inside-the-james-webb-space-telescope-s-first-five-images

Terkan: I let my students play this lottery simulator from the LA Times. https://graphics.latimes.com/powerball-simulator/ I had them keep playing with $100 at a time for 5 minutes. Some would win, but they would be even deeper in the hole. you can select bet your paycheck and put in a custom amount. I told them to play with one MILLION dollars, and go to lunch. They came back and they all lost absolutely everything. I let them run it again the next day. Same result. 2 lifetimes of money just… thrown out. Across 15 kids. I hope they got the lesson. You MIGHT win big, and surely you will win a little sometimes, but you are going to lose. Always. Its0nlyRocketScience: That's rule one with gambling: the house always wins. They allow one gambler to win at the expense of others occasionally, but only to give the masses hope, so they keep throwing money at the house. tjdux The show futurama has a great line about this. Mr wong (Amy's dad) owns the Mars casino and when they visit he says something like "This casino pays out 1 billion every hour, and its usually to us" us being the house.
