The image shows the light from galaxies which has taken billions of years to reach us, meaning the picture, while taken in recent days, shows an ancient view of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>However, for Doctor Who fans this wasn\u2019t the most notable detail about the image \u2013\u00a0instead, they were focused on how similar the image looks to the psychedelic Sixth Doctor opening title sequence, which ran from 1984 to 1986.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the eerie, remarkable comparison right here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;zxx&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\"><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/1muQrZ3r49&quot;\">https:\/\/t.co\/1muQrZ3r49<\/a> <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/mj33ozKsin&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/mj33ozKsin<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Morgan Jeffery (@morganjeffery) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/morganjeffery\/status\/1546746816766656512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">July 12, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>This initial image was previewed by President Joe Biden, while NASA will be following up on the image with a global presentation, including further images from the new telescope.
