It really is going to be China's Century.

While the US threatens international science and collaboration, and are putting both #JWST and #NancyGrace at risk, and no replacement for ISS

Meanwhile, China is forging ahead with a real space program.

Unexpected #JWST Observations Hint We Might Be Inside A #BlackHole
A new study looking at observations by the JWST of the early universe has thrown up a new and intriguing mystery; the majority of #galaxies appear to be rotating in the same direction. This finding, not predicted by our current understanding of the universe, may hint that we are inside a black hole, according to the study's authors.

This image from JWST captures a massive star formation from dense clouds of gas and dust. On the left, a tall, flame-like pillar glows in warm tones of copper, orange, and gold, shaped like a torch rising in space. Surrounding the pillar is a soft haze of light brown and grey, fading into the dark of space. Tthe background is filled with countless stars, some shining with crisp, icy-blue light and long, pointed flares. The bright structure contrasts sharply with the deep black of space, highlighting the chaotic beauty of star birth.

@SeanPLynch From the paper
iopscience.iop.org/article/10.:

"It is widely recognized that the detection of a biosignature is unlikely to be instantaneous or unambiguous in the first instance, rather relying on continued accumulation of evidence..."

"Further work is needed to robustly verify the current findings. More observations are required to robustly demonstrate the repeatability of our present findings, rule out potentially unaccounted-for instrumental systematics, as well as increase the detection significances."

Somehow these (reasonable!) cautious remarks do not square so well with the grandiose-sounding statements of the lead author as quoted by NPR.
