    @booboo Hard to say how tall that tree is given it's surrounded by relatively small trees.

    Hyperion's precise location is a secret. Unless you have access to the internet and enter 'location of Hyperion'. In which case you will get the precise geo coordinates and a handy may to get there. Hint: You walk in from the end of Tall Trees Access Road...

    Really well hidden.

    Hopefully not too many can be bothered.

    The maths is bad 216+1 is not 65537….

    First deep field image from James Webb has just been released! 🙂

    This first image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
