How the James Webb Telescope's cosmic pictures impacted the Internet

NASA, ESA, and CSA released the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which conducts infrared astronomy to reveal the unseen universe. The telescope's first deep field image depicts a galaxy cluster with a distance of 5.12 billion light-years from Earth. Internet traffic analysis revealed an increase in general internet traffic in the US on July 11 and July 12, compared to the previous week. DNS request trends showed two clear spikes: one around the time the first galaxy cluster infrared image was announced by Joe Biden on July 11, with traffic rising 13x higher than in the previous week; and another during Tuesday, July 12, when more images were revealed, with a peak at 10:00 EST, with traffic being 19x higher than in the previous week.
