It’s a day that’s been highly anticipated in astronomy circles and beyond. On Monday, humans received the deepest view of the cosmos ever captured, thanks to the extraordinary capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

The first image from the $10-billion telescope shows the farthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of the universe and the edge of the cosmos.

U.S. President Joe Biden revealed the first image Monday, to be followed by four more galactic beauty shots on Tuesday. “If you held a grain of sand on the tip of your finger at arm’s length, that is the part of the universe that you’re seeing,” NASA administrator Bill Nelson said. “What you’re seeing are galaxies, galaxies shining around other galaxies, and just a small little portion of the universe.” If you held a grain of sand up to the sky at arm’s length, that tiny speck is the size of Webb’s view in this image.

Imagine — galaxies galore within a grain, including light from galaxies that traveled billions of years to us! — NASA Webb Telescope (@NASAWebb) <a href=«https://twitter.com/NASAWebb/status/1546621169994027011?ref_src=» https: globalnews.ca>July 11, 2022 Biden revealed a “deep field” image, filled with lots of stars — “lots” being an understatement — and massive galaxies in the foreground distorting the light of the objects behind, telescoping them and making faint and extremely distant galaxies visible.

Covid positive Commonwealth Games star hugs team-mates after claiming gold medal

cricket star Tahlia McGrath didn't seem too bothered about her positive Covid test as she celebrated winning gold at the Commonwealth Games by hugging teammates.However, the decision to play her has come under fire from critics given the country's apparent hardline stance over the virus, which saw Novak Djokovic barred from playing the Australian Open in January over his refusal to be vaccinated. Furthermore, those who test positive down under are still required to isolate for a mandatory seven-day period.That is no longer the case in the UK though, with McGrath, 26, waking up the morning of Sunday's final with mild symptoms.

Humanity 'not ready' for potentially 'serious' Covid variant, warn concerned scientists

Scientists are warning over a potential new Covid variant that they believe could be a "serious problem" due to us not being prepared.Although the virus seems to be here to stay, vaccines and milder variants mean hospitalisation and death rates have plummeted and many countries have dropped most or all restrictions that kept the virus at bay.But scientists keeping an eye on the disease expect there to be more variants in future, and some will almost certainly be more dangerous than the likes of Omicron and its BA.5 subvariant. READ MORE: Long Covid causes erectile dysfunction and hair loss, new research shows John Swartzberg, a professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California-Berkeley's School of Public Health, said: "The virus always figured out a way to survive. I see nothing that suggests it’s not going to continue to do that."Researchers believe more Covid waves are inevitable as different genetic mutations of the virus battle it out in a bid for dominance.Which one comes out on top will determine the course of the next wave.The best-case scenario is if a milder mutation of the virus wins out next time, giving boffins time to prepare for a worse form of the virus that will eventually follow.Worst case is that a stronger mutation of Covid comes sooner and we're left unprepared to deal with it.So far two possible new variants have been identified.

Implementation of the deal, which is in effect for four months, has proceeded slowly since the first ship embarked last Monday.
