Just imagining the number of unique worlds these 800k galaxies contain really blows my mind. Especially when there are probably a lot more to be discovered.
pantulis•2h ago
And consider these are 800k galaxies mapped in the subtending angle of three moons in the sky...

If Claude is correct, these 0.54 square degrees represent 0.0013% of the full 41,253 square degrees of the sky (4*pi steradians).

Huh, I thought there would be more. Like billions of galaxies.

They only observed an area of sky approximately the size of "three full moons"

> By using the data from the James Webb Space Telescope’s 6.5‑meter (21-ft) mirror, scientists at UC Santa Barbara have surveyed 0.54 square degrees of sky, which is equivalent to the area of three full moons when viewed from Earth. Charting nearly 800,000 galaxies, the COSMOS-Web dataset covers almost 98% of cosmic history.
