James Webb space telescope has 2 major imagery instruments, and a couple others for alignment and spectrography. All these instruments are in varying portions of the infrared spectrum.
When making an observation, JWST uses NIRCam, a near-infrared imager, to take a series of images. There are two identical sensors in NIRCam, which capture adjacent portions of the sky in both a short and a long IR channel. There are also two filter wheels that take the images with an array of slitless filters.
Many images also use MIRI, a mid-infrared instrument that generally produces slightly less dazzling (but still amazing) pictures, but very valuable scientific data that allows us to see the most redshifted galaxies. MIRI also has an array of 9 filters. This instrument allows JWST to see farther into the universe than ever before.
But this is only where observations begin. While terabytes of grayscale imagery and spectrographs are invaluable to scientific study, the public usually prefers more artistic presentations of humanity's collective efforts. The image is still authentic - nothing is "edited" or "photoshopped" in the traditional sense. But it takes hours of painstaking work to "shift" the images from infrared into visible light.
After the series of filtered grayscale images are colorized in a way that makes sense in visible light, they are still a series of separate images from monochrome IR filters. An analogy would be to take a long exposure picture with red, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet, and red filters. The images are then overlayed to create a composite, like what you see here. Sometimes MIRI images are added with low opacity to showcase the mid-IR whisps of "dust" in some nebulas (mostly glowing gasses and plasma), invisible to all previous telescopes.
All the raw data from JWST is available as soon as it's fully received and uploaded by NASA at the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) run by the STScI, for both researchers and hobbyist like me. If you have a lot of storage space and some basic images processing skills (or are willing to spend an afternoon to learn), I highly recommend reading more about the process and trying it yourself.
I would argue that anyone who adopts these values is a slave to themselves, controlled by whoever claims to share these values but in fact uses them for control. These values no longer serve our self-interest or nature, and as the entire point of values is to make judgement of relative "right" and "wrong" from one's own perspective, we should be free to mold them as need be.
Religious values serve to externalize one's own will to a "god." This rationalizes why nature is able to get away with what is "forbidden" (for the purpose of making the masses feel guilty and fall back to the priests for forgiveness). When we realize that values are not absolute, and can be molded according to individual will, we do away with the need for a "god" to externalize our personal moral preferences.
As Nietzsche said, when god dies, we must each become a god unto ourselves, or try to lie to ourselves that god still lives and remain slaves to the externalized will of the long-dead others who invented him.
There's a difference between seeking peace and being a pacifist when trampled by those who are not capable of peace. I agree with these religions insomuch as peace is always a preferable state, and should be sought. We should go out of our way to seek peace, and respond peacefully until it is no longer possible. I do not advocate undue vengeance or striking first. But when repeatedly struck on the face it is not always best to "turn the other cheek." Sometimes that works. But sometimes the offender will only strike again. And with those who will only listen to violence for violence, there should be no shame or fear of violating a religious axiom for dealing violently with them.
There is no glory in denying our carnal nature to fight for self-preservation in the face of physical or emotional harm.
Sounds very platonic, masochistic, weak, or (all 3) Christian Virtue..
Rather, we should treat others as you wish to be treated... And then when their response is sure, "treat others as you have been treated." Love those who deserve love, and destroy those who deserve wrath. A law of basic human nature.
Lol, this is amazing! To the people can't read Cyrillic, maybe just scroll past before down voting? For those who can't read it or get it, basically the joke is that it isn't translated - it's just English in the Cyrillic alphabet.
POV: when the meme is in another language but you can actually understand it.
We put up signs literally everywhere after the first incident (front door, coffee bar, drive-thru, drive-thru menu, and counter) in like 30 point font that says how much caffeine and that it isn't recommended for (very long scary list of all possible) sensitive groups... The first incident was avoidable, but this time is on them...
