My favorite thing to do in this life is to just gaze in awe at the stars pondering what could be out there. Its so peaceful yet so ominous.
I wonder how many millions of other intelligent species are standing there wondering the same thing
Ia or ex? Come on lets find out
Same bro. Where I live, you can also look up at night and see the Milky Way (depending on the season).
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes...
Sorry 2 ruin ur lil night dreams...but there's NOTHING, out there,but dust chemical gasses. 😔 sorry.
Imagine the amount of life that is out there, the amount of life that is probably around the same age as us humans. The amount of life that is beyond our age. Nobody can tell me there isnt life out there with that many galaxies, seriously incredible to see!
And still, none of that are close enough for us to see and to discover properly. We will be forever alone here no matter how much life is elsewhere... distances are just too big and space is expanding way too fast... Sad but true.
@@raulahti the distance is a good thing I would say,human are dangerous to roam freely in this universe
I bet there are more dangerous civilizations out there!
All proof of God to me
"there are only two possibilities; we are either alone in the universe or we're not. Either thought is terrifying"
Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward.
They shouldn't be though. The rest of the dead weight doesn't deserve it.
Humanity? Humanity is horrible.
@@francismarion6400 it's not that bad. But you have to look and search for good and honest person that's for sure. On top of that you first of all have to be honest and good.
@@francismarion6400 just because you hate yourself doesnt make the rest bad
@@apethecaveMan the rest is definitely bad i guess you’re protected by western police to say such thing
I wonder what it is about space that comforts people so much? I know it humbles me and I feel grateful that I am small and there is something out there bigger than me. So much wonder. You can feel childlike again when you don’t get to feel that way much as an adult.
We all came from outer space we are all starseeds..
@@ChitoV646 My folks originated near Zeta Reticuli, but immigrated to earth long before Columbus. Every year, they have a spectacular light display in their back yard, and which their ancient ancestors will eventully see 4078 years later.
Heart is where you're home is.. feeling home sick obviously not mentally but physically ND emotionally we are connected to the solar system more then one would like to admit for some of reason
comfort? its beautiful BUT SOOOOOOOOO SCARY.
That's our real home.we r just visiting here
As someone who has been following Webb for a while, I gotta say this is a great summation piece of its impact. Great stuff.
I think you getting high is perfectly OK because your logic is sound
Maybe I'm impatient but I thought by now scientists would have discovered previously unknown objects and come up with a multitude of mind-blowing discoveries. Despite the hype and superlatives in this video, scientists are going to have to speed up their investigations using Webb, because I don't think ordinary people are impressed anymore by just pretty pictures.
@@kenthompson5723 Ordinary people aren't impressed by anything. Ordinary people think they're geniuses when all they're doing is successfully staying alive and often just doing what they're told to do.
@@californiaplant-basedeater2761 It's ordinary people who vote. And voters can if they choose vote for politicians who prioritize other government investments, not highly expensive astronomy ventures.
A.G.I Will be man's last invention
It breaks my brain when I realize that those early galaxies we are seeing existed over 10 billion years ago, are farther away then we will ever imagine, and that they might not even be there anymore
It’s about 13 billion years old but due to space expanding faster than light itself it’s more than 30 billion light years away. They’re definitely not there anymore
And it's only the furthest away that we can see.
There are parts even further away that we can't see because the light from those places haven't reached us yet.
So that galaxy might not be the furthest at all :D
Well those galaxies aren't "there" any more, however they most definitely still exist as a galaxies in some manner. The vast majority of stars that exist in our universe are cooler stars, and they have life spans that exceed the age of the universe many times over so they're still trucking along, it's the very big stars, the most exciting stars, the ones that explode at the end of their life that may live but a few tens or hundreds of millions of years, those are the ones that end up decreasing in numbers of time as there the amount of "star stuff" gets less and less over time.
The thing is though 30 billion years is not even that much if you really think about it…
@@BolinFoto the light from places beyond the visible horizon will never reach us due to the expansion of the universe at that scale being faster than the speed of light. It's another amazing but also kinda tragic fact about the universe, more and more of it will become physically unreachable within 3 dimensional space
The beauty of our universe makes me cry with joy. I sat watching this with a gigantic smile on my face.
it's all fake
Wonderful !
@@scottd7222 Yeah okay buddy, whatever helps you feel smart :)
@@scottd7222 Such a benign, empty statement just thrown out there without even an ounce of any formulated philosophical or scientific thought lol. I wonder what you do for a living...
You're not alone. Simply amazing.
I can’t seem to ever wrap my head around how we as human beings became so lucky to inherit such a planet as earth…everything was made perfectly millions of years ago for us…the air we breathe the land & the temperature was all made to sustain life so perfectly, and to also think of the millions of galaxies and the fact that there’s some possibility of life somewhere else other than earth
Quick pro quo we started our lives in a 5d reality as we were angels who volunteered to come here and help the earth as humans , we were created from all walks of alien DNA FOR THE PURPOSE of ascension in a physical body...we were then literally taken to this 3d existence by dark forces who knew exactly what we are and we're... This enabling them to control our CONSCIOUSNESS and literally we were brought down to a lower frequency which made us forget everything that we were... So you're instincts are completely correct and 100 %spot on... So the reason why we were created from multiple DNA attributes is so we would be the first beings able to ascend in our physical vessels..it's never happened before anywhere in the omniverse,,, the different species of other enteties was to incorporate the higher vibration necessary to ascend....... you're got the story right you just need to understand why so I hope I didn't make it more confusing....ps were about to go back to 5d and we will be closer to the Rd home...

I got misty eyed too so humbling.
@@Mackenzieadventures1 Wait what event? Artificially colored images? You can see the Milky Way from right here on Earth with your own eyes... just like cave men did. Way cooler too.
Discoveries like this truly make you realize how small we truly are. Kansas wasn't lying when they sang "All were are is dust in the wind".
Not when you realize we ARE the living consciousness of the Universe
we are the Universe
everything you see in the images from JW telescope, all of it is necessary for us to exist
Yes, but as small as we are, there is a tiny galaxy inside every cell in our bodies, and they are complexly organized, astounding mechanisms. I'm never sure which is more awe-inspiring - the universe of the very large, or the universe of the very small.
I agree with, and very happy to read @Ken Wittlief, and @Matt Doan validating my long-held thoughts. I am 70 in a couple of weeks and had these thoughts since I was at most s-x-seven years old peering through my microscope or watching the Aurora Borealis and shooting stars so many evenings from the back porch.
Cremation makes is dust in the wind
People tend to discount this work because it’s so removed from their day to day, but in reality the learnings we gain from this help us understand why we even exist in the first place. We are talking about all of existence itself. That is fascinating, scary and enlightening.
You said a mouthful right there.. maybe enough to encompass our existence.. *chefs kiss*
Gotta wonder if or when will we ever find out the purpose of our existence or were we just lucky enough to be afforded an opportunity to experience life within itself.
@@TeemosTaint I think that’s what keeps us on our toes the most… the unknown
So what so far do we understand about why we exist?
It is indeed "removed from their day to day" lives. IMO, we can no longer depend on the ISS to wow people. Decades were spent with the ISS and few of us can name any new discoveries that this machine made. Ditto all the Mars missions; they may be inspiring to technicians. But, imo, even the Mars missions are losing their inspiration. I was hoping that Webb would provide humanity with INSPIRATION, not just more pretty pictures, i.e. Hubble.
Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward.. Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward..
LOL!...Stop the BS. These astrophysicists e.g Hubble, Miku Kaku, Hawking's, Greene and Cox don't know 'Jack $***'. It's time to ditch the 'Caveman' approach and get some real brains to figure out the origins of the universe.
That image of Neptune was stunning!
I can read you, but I must admit I have met some more stunning women, and note to my self, just shut up.

What an odd comment
Love how every single scientist interviewed in this video is talking about this with such passion and enthusiasm. Makes it that much more exciting!
Agree, but if the quality of the video was 4k it would be great because it's all about the quality of the image we start to receive from out there 🤞🏼
What do you mean by that?

Best one asme
@@fadi_ayesh there’s likely a website with all or at least almost all the pictures and data from the observatory, apologies, I don’t know the name, it just makes sense how it must exist, right?
JWST is certainly living up to the hype. It’s revealing more information than we could’ve ever hoped for. And the photos are absolutely stunning and beautiful.
If you believe our beautifully infinite universe with all its infinitely complex planets and living beings were created out of nothing by nobody for no reason, you have less intelligence reason and logic than a rock.
the artist assigning colors to the Infrared signal waves are making the Black and white images amazing.

The Universe is beautiful.
Speechless. These are the topics that I wish filled the news, the airwaves and occupied everyone's busyness with. When watching and taking it in, it eclipses all other matters in a way that is difficult to describe. What an honor it must be to be a part of the planning, development and discovery of such magnificence. Many Thank Yous to all involved in these pursuits!
Have you ever wondered why all you see is cgi?
Just...jesus just think of it...trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of galaxies each with billions of stars and trillions of planets. It's a shame so few people can appreciate it.
@@sirdiealot53 you like being lied to?

I found this to be a deeply emotional video. Fantasy and science fiction could never inspire the amount of awe, magic and majesty that is our very reality. all we have to do is look up. Absolutely stunning. Be still my heart.
The emotion comes out when Professor Mountain is talking - there are a couple of cracks in the voice when he's describing the magnitude and the unexpectedness of what is being revealed.
@@kumasenlac5504 The man has that transcendent look in his eye.
No words can explain how big and mysterious is our universe.
Yes there is . God. He created it. He created you and me and every person that ever lived. Started with Adam and Eve my friend. The earth is about 6000 years old. 6000! And God created it in 7 days. Now thsts amazing!!!! Amen! Glory to God!
C'mon, man.........mikes.6751 beat me to it............GOD is that one word!!!
Truly mind-blowing. I feel like this is the sort of thing humanity should be focusing on. To explore the unknown, unite for the good of all life.
Unfortunately humans aren't interested in what they can't understand.
Yea it really makes our wars and politics feel silly
Funny how much we spend on satellites, while the earth is trashed, over heating and rife with famine and starvation. Your galaxy picture is sure well worth the hundreds of millions at the expense of other humans.
Humanity does have a defined end point, if we are never able to colonize another system.
@@CMarkem If we never spent money to investigate things we would never have went to the moon or cured polio etc.. etc....
I first learned about James Webb as a teenager in the mid 2000’s and I waited ever since. Finally on Christmas Day 2021, I watched the beautiful launch - and boy, it was worth the wait!
From the universe came minds to understand itself. It is truly fascinating to think those waves traveled billions of years to reach a mirror to see itself and comprehend itself.
I love the way you put this into words man
God is the Creator people
@@stevejohnson5477 He absolutely is
@@stevejohnson5477 Exactly. Every astronomer here, and the journalist too, kept talking about the universe in terms of the Big Bang.
The Bible says God spoke the universe into existence. There was nothing here.
These scientists act like the universe created itself using the laws of nature but for something to come from nothing violates the Law of Conservation of Energy.
From the Universe came minds to understand itself?....😆 Hilarious!!
It's crazy to think that those images are billions of years in the past. Who knows if they even exist or what they look like at the present moment.
This is absolutely amazing, mind-blowing and humbling. With so so many galaxies there surely must be life all over the universe. Its hard to wrap your mind around. That telescope is, in my opinion, the most impressive thing I've seen humans make. Its amazing what we are capable of. And on and on.
I wonder what the ancients would say about this
Life is everywhere my friend but we can not perceive it all because of our physical brains, it acts as a cosmic filter.
The telescope can see galaxies 13.5 billion light years away. You can almost see the birth of the universe. They say... Don't they know what the speed of light is?
In the time this light has reached us, another 13.5 billion years have passed out there. What it looks like over there, no one knows...
The birth of the universe...hmm... The light of birth faded long before the first suns and galaxies were created.
Example: You stand outside in the middle of the night and flash a strong flashlight once at the moon. To be able to see that light again, you would have to be on the moon 1.3 seconds later with a large telescope. Then you can see the flashing with the flashlight. 499 seconds later you can see the twinkle from the sun if you flash your flashlight in the middle of the day. If you have a very powerful telescope and can also handle the heat :-)
The light then passes out into space and can only be seen in 13.5 billion years at the most. But that's if we count now, at the far end (13.5 billion years away) another 13.5 billion years have passed, so 27 billion years...
So the light from the birth of the universe we can never see because all light disappears behind us.
Aside from every st John Moses Browning made . yea

False.
I like the way 60 minutes breaks it down and unfolds the story. I appreciated the last Webb story, this one was just as fascinating and awe-inspiring.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 They did the same thing for hubble and many other satelites. That room is incredibly clean, 1000s of times cleaner than a hospital ICU. They can not afford to let dust and skin cells interfere with these very precise instruments. As you can see, their whole bodies are covered, and they most likely had to shower with water, then high pressure air before entering the room. The room itself may even be under to positive pressure to push any insects and contaminants out of the room.
Sometimes it makes me sad that I might miss some great discovery or get to miss even the next telescope. This type of stuff just makes you think of endless possibilities.
Just enjoy what we have now
If I can get a clear picture of another exoplanet before I die, I’ll honestly die happy.
You think the distance "things" in this universe are apart from one another is pure chance, don't you. The truth is, noone will ever know more than a sliver of the whole. Noone is supposed to.
They know much more now than they did even 50 yrs. ago. We were told the planets in our solar system were just dust, and now they have discovered for example Mars holds water and Venus became the hottest planet from buildup of CO2 gases which is mind blowing.
They are always making new discoveries!
Yeah althought we want more but you can see we being part of great discovery… that why we have got so much knoledge
This is what awe feels like...
"Astronomy is a very humbling discipline". As an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer myself, I definitely agree with that statement! I personally know a few of my colleagues that are working on JWST at the Space Telescope Science Institute, and I'm incredibly proud of them! The discoveries that Webb has made thus far have been astonishing, and I look forward to what it's capable of doing in the future!
That's awesome. Would love to work at STScI.

Mr. Leftist Anchor, you came a long way from CVS News, it's "James Webb" not just "Webb". Please do show respect. Haaa. How do you like that.
Nice idea
DONE! 60 min FAILED! After seeing 60 min hosting Marj Traitor Green in an interview, WE can no longer trust 60 min. 60min FAILED!
This is the single greatest accomplishment till date of humanity in terms of enquiry of creation itself. Hope we find most of the answers by looking at the unknown. There's more than we could ever imagine. Incredible to say the least!
I like the bit where even aligning the mirrors of Webb revealed thousands of new galaxies never before seen. Amazing stuff.
UC Santa Cruz doesn’t get enough credit. They’re on the absolute limit of human capability and achievement only to be considered a B Teir UC by a lot of hopeful students. Absolutely brilliant work, I hope UCSC gains the recognition it deserves
When I see these images and think on how many galaxies there are, each with billions and billions of stars, I’m reminded of how precious life is. It’s heartbreaking to think that we throw it away so easily and are headed towards extinction because of our stupidity…
Our life is precious all life is precious. Its not special because I can bet you. Our Milky Way and all those other billions of galaxies are filled with millions even some super galaxies may have billions of planets with life on them. We're not even 100% sure about our own solar system. That's how little we know.
@@Lyons_T-BAG , yeas and it's a bit hard to claim we are the center of the universe.
But I find it fantastic that there is life in this universe most likely as an by product a coincident. We did not create the universe it created us, radomly, as randomly as when looking at all its variations on this planet.
Understanding how small we are should help us understand how stupid it is to fight among ourself.
How can something be called precious while it has no meaning
Indeed. I think it will be the Arctic methane but recently it could easily be nuclear war. (The Methane is Rising and Humanity’s Time on Earth is Growing Much Shorter | Robert Heston)

I love the enthusiasm of these astronomers who admit that they only understand 5% of the universe .
I aspire to be as knowledgeable and passionate about something - anything! What a time to be alive. Cheers to all involved.
I've been waiting for the James Webb launch since I was 14.
I'm glad I get to see the launch at 33 years old :-)
Wow.. interesting name by the way
I remember watching the Hubble Space Telescope launch when I was 10 years old, and how big of a disappointment it was when it turned out the mirror was ground incorrectly. But I remember being absolutely stunned at the images that we got after the mirror was fixed a few years later. JWST is just on another level, I never in my life thought that such a complex instrument could be created and launched so flawlessly...
Ditto, I worked the launch and was 29. It was surreal after waiting so long. They started building it while we were in preschool!
I busted out laughing
Only 33
Good for you!
That means you will probably experience the thrill of seeing the first humans on Mars!
I watched in real time man walking on the moon.
If I'm fortunate and with a little luck I may get to see man walk on Mars in real time!
Baby boomers deserve nothing less!
Stunning ... ! Absolutely stunning .... It's just another gigantic example of how small we really are.
Don't forget that what Webb is showing you a picture as it sees it live but is probably no longer there because those pictures, some of them are billions of years old
Being 24 years old, I am honored to have been born in this era of space exploration. The upcoming Artemis missions including the Lunar Gateway and Artemis II... It's crazy to think that in my lifetime we'll have a strong human presence on Mars and possibly even further. Things like this and, for example, the movements in fusion energy, are things that make me excited for the future. Just wow.
I said this to my friend the other day, and I believe it to be more true every single day;
We're 5 steps from living in what the 1970's viewed as "sci-fi", someone call Picard LOL
yeah no
the moon and Mars are as dead and inhospitable to DNA life as they can possibly be
there is nothing that could happen to the Earth that would make it more 'destroyed' than Mars already is
so anything you could build on the Moon or Mars to allow life to continue there, you could build right here on Earth, for 0.0000001 % of the cost
You are part of the DNA life that inhabits the entire Earth, that has been alive here for billions of years.
You are part of the Earth, the Earth is literally what comprises your physical body
You cant live anywhere else, not anywhere that we know of, certainly not on the Moon or Mars
sorry, but the future aint what it use to be

I love the fact, that In my lifetime we went from being the exception as a planet around a star to planets around stars being the rule.. I was born in 1979 and for the first 13 years of my life we were the only planet in the universe, then we found one more in 1992.. then another, and another, then 30 years later we found so many we can confidently say that planets around stars are the rule not the exception.. I just hope that in my life we can discover, or prove rather, that life in the universe is the rule not the exception.. with so many bad things happening in the world its things like this that remind me that humanity can still really be that kid at heart, so curious, full of wonderment and excitement!..
almost makes you want to cry... absolutely loved this. Thank you.
"We thought it was there. We hoped it was there... But now we're seeing it for the first time."
This means God is listening and watching us discovering This is amazing, honestly
The mind-blowing part was a photo I saw from webb. Picked a dark spot in space the size of a grain of salt...and when zoomed in you can see thousands of galaxies
its awesome to see people actually excited about all this. to some people this may be boring or pointless but these guys genuine love what they are doing
I honestly don't even understand how anyone could find what we understand about the universe and the imagery we're currently able to generate "boring" - obviously not everyone is going to comprehend astrophysics, but when it's presented in such understandable terms, I just can't picture any of it NOT being astounded.
This is one of the most wonderful reports I've ever seen. Thank you 60 Minutes.
"There is no empty sky" - Just beautiful
Switch magnets & ellipses EQUALS interstellar travel.
1+1=2
Let me explain simply.
1. Similar polarity magnets repulse. Try it.
2. The kinetic energy of a similar polarity ball will release at the top of an ellipse. Try it with a switch magnet.
3. Do that in space. Inertia in a vacuum.
4.Do that again, in space.
WOOMP! WOOMP!! WOOMP!!!
How fast can you go?!?!
Safety warning AND helpful hint:
NEVER use a pendulum for the magnet.
Your craft will disintegrate before you can stop it.
Pendulums should ONLY be used to test the integrity of your craft.

Incredible! Love looking up at the stars and thinking about the never ending space.
When you think of what we do to each other as a species and you look at the vastness of the universe, it’s amazing we aren’t all huddled up together like a bunch of scared children. Nothing is more humbling, in my opinion, than the scale of the universe of we live in.

I've always enjoyed watching Pelley, he always does great work.
James Webb has given us a major revolution in our understanding of the universe and the world, from the existence of stars and planets to worlds that are far away from us.
And we thought the Hubble 'deep field' view of the universe was astounding, but the Webb image is on a whole other level.
more and bigger telescopes are in the works! imagine what you could cram into a Space X starship!
It's kinda crazy. Hubble needed days or weeks of imaging a dark spot in the sky in order to get those hidden galaxies. It was actually thought of as kind of a waste of telescope time until the first results came back.
Now JWST simply snaps a picture of a planet in our solar system and even that has galaxies in the background. It's a totally new paradigm in capability.
this is like art for me haha... I'm just mesmerized by it here in my desk, glued to the screen because how magnificent the universe is
God is incredible
@Kilo Bacon n Eggs no, its not. Its matching infrared waves to the color spectrum that we can see.
@Kilo Bacon n Eggs The colors you "see" don't exist. They are only in your head, added by your brain. Electromagnetic radiation (light) is what color?
So the processing takes B+W images, looks for the frequency differences, and assigns it colors- just like your brain does. Same idea.

I can perfectly understand the cracking in these’ scientists voices, because I experience the same thing when talking about this! Our universe is truly bewildering.
It is crazy to think that what they’re seeing is radically different by billions of years.
They’re probably pretty much the same
lol

More wasting tax dollars is there a searching for something that does not exist. For all the planets and infinitely complex organisms like you and I and the animals did not create themselves from nothing by no one for no reason. This is illogical and unscientific.
Absolutely fascinating. Proves conclusively… We don’t even know what we don’t know.
The “dark matter” as they call it - it’s actually a beautiful energy that is more alive than we know. Thank you God for creating what you did! Creation speaks of your Glory!!!
Craziest part to me is, based on what these guys can find out, the distance between us and light reaching us from those galaxies and planets are millions, to billions and maybe even further years away.
Stumped me as a kid, blows me away as an adult. I hope one day we become advanced enough to send people there and back.
If you really want to dig into it, look into the lady who gets interviewed towards the end. They kind of over simplify what she's talking about. It's not just that we're likely wrong about the timeline of the universe, but essentially if we got the timeline wrong it also means by extension we got the theory of gravity and general relativity wrong, which means there is a good chance the whole edifice of modern cosmology (big bang, dark matter, etc) is about to collapse. I wish they would explain this in the video because that is the real shock and awe of what this telescope is showing.
It’s quite impossible to comprehend one billion years. We can imagine maybe 70 years or 100, but try and imagine 1,000 years even. The light from distant stars and galaxies can take thousands of years to reach Earth. We’re never going to visit those places, the distances involved are just impossible!
Science fiction can entertain us, Star Trek etc.
Reality is another matter.
Absolutely amazing. This made me realize just how much we dont know, and probably never will.
That's both the beauty and the double-edged sword of scientific progress - one question answered usually generates multiple more questions that we weren't even asking before.
It's an amazing instrument that really showcases man's potential. Just imagine what we could accomplish if we didn't waste so much time and resources on constant warring and preparing for war.
Probably colonization of other planets and interstellar travel
It's a catch 22 in a lot of ways though, sadly. War is what pushed the invention of rockets that enabled us to go to space to begin with. (missiles) It would be nice if we as a species would find a way to be innovative by something other than competition.
Pride ... they say it comes before a fall.
I don’t buy this argument, look at places with very tiny military budgets, some wealthy countries among them, are they “accomplishing” so much? Hardly, except perhaps having even more generous social programs.

Just beautiful how the sky is
Human history is hundreds of thousands of years long and I just so happened to exist at the same time as the JWST. I'm thinking of how many billions of humans came before me and died without ever seeing these images. It's mind blowing to think about and quite humbling.
I'm glad they did a 60 Minutes on this. I've been amazed by some of the things they've found lately. SEA is a good youtube channel for this kind of thing
SEA needs more viewers. Very good channel indeed.

I can only imagine what's ahead for you kids,out there...
Theres no limits to the wonders in your grasp now....
How lucky we are to be alive now and learn these facts and have to wonder even more about it all.
@erratic-LEE me Really!! Facts?
All we have are photons coming from the night sky. None of them are carbon-datable, nor are their point of origin obtainable in any way. They could have just as easily come from a light bulb as there would be no way to prove it.
Data we approve of we tend to label as "fact". It's a human condition ... one that science needs to constantly be aware of.
Lucky...web is just looking for a replacement planet.
We were all present during the big bang:)
None of it means anything. We’re parasites that can’t stop killing and raping one another. I hope we can improve, but for now, we’re savages looking at pretty pictures thinking we’re advanced.
Thank your nearest American tax payer 🇺🇸
Those images mad me cry a little. So joyous and amazing.
Andele
why cry ?
There's no crying in Physics!
A.G.I be man's last invention
I remember when that first calibration image was released and I suddenly realized, every image taken by Webb is going to be a deep-field image. Even in the most basic images, astronomers are pulling out candidates for oldest (most red-shifted) galaxies. It's a wild time to be alive, with handheld computers that can show us the deepest galaxies that exist.
all photographs with the lens focus set to infinity are "deep field images"
its just a matter of the resolution of your film, and the exposure duration
If you take a photo with a normal camera lense, and then enlarge the center 1/10th of the image
the result is exactly the same image you would get with a 10X telephoto lens, as long as your sensor or film has enough resolution to capture the detail you want
@@kenwittlief255 Yeah, I know. I've studied photography. The point was that it took Hubble ten days and 342 separate exposures to produce the first Deep Field. JWST revealed candidates for older galaxies in its first *calibration* images, which were short exposures to align the mirrors and sensors. Thus, every exposure, even short ones, are peering incredibly deeply into the universe, albeit in infrared rather than visible and a small amount of IR for Hubble.
I saw the same. Amazing to get deep field images in that and the Jupiter instrument test. To get deep field in calibration images was remarkable. Hours for what Hubble needed weeks to do (albeit at different frequencies).
Knowledge is the most mind bending treasure. Look at the crazy eyes and expressions of each of those people. You can see they have learned a way in school, and then they "saw the pictures Web sent" and they can understand them, and they "know" they are looking at a treasure they dont know what it is, but they know it is big.
I almost cried watching this. What’s interesting is I don’t know why.
If I were to guess, it is like I’ve seen me troubled when I read Pansee at 17 years - what’s the meaning of life in pitch darkness. Then, I went through lots of exploration and discoveries. While I’ve felt I resolved my questions and the trouble I had re my existential questions thru Zen, meditation, etc., I felt this discoveries of virtually infinite numbers of galaxies and unresolved questions about dark matter made me feel like going thru another big awakening - while finding myself a minuscule speck of being has an unimaginable connection with the infinite. Wow.
i know so many people that never focus outside of whats in front of them, they are really missing out what it is to explore what we know about space and time.
@@FordSierraIS Totally agree. At 75 yrs old, however, I see it is perhaps inevitable as much as we see many species in nature. In human, there are varieties of people with various characters - eg, from very ego-centric to deep inward or explore external world and universe... it is possibly a normal distribution in various axis/ dimensions. I have been into Zen and spirituality for decades with engineering and business (possibly with self-taight psychological) background. And I am like a kid... still remember in my young days to imagine what's in the universe. Such image is hard to go away. We will be back into the dust of the universe upon death. In the mean time, let's make the best, have fun and elp with each other! May all beings be happy!
Dont start crying or I'll start crying.....
You're made up of these images. That's why you cried.
@@davidmurray6176 Yes, I see that. Perhaps you can explain all human experiences with that one sentence. Still, it raises me a curiosity of what this life is all about. (as before...such is my mindless thought. :-)
I love to see the infinity like cells in my body or brain synapses ,we are part of something so magnificent.I am in awe.
yes we already been doing that for decades. it's called histology
yessss. and every molecule in our body is an ever expanding universe 🙌
It’s crazy how every galaxy we see has its own billions of planets and stars with their own different horizons, laws of physics, water worlds, desert worlds, there’s no way we are alone
Mind blowing James web telescope 😮
Our universe is so much more fascinating than we can even comprehend.
i'm just not sure how I benefit having my mind expanded by highly creative deep space pictures . I applaud these astronomers for taking something their so passionate about, having dedicated countless years of their lives to understanding, and dumbing it down enough for a journalist and the viewing public to understand. When it comes to "unlocking the secrets and origins of the universe" sometimes I just want to know how that knowledge is even remotely applicable to anything on earth? The good news I suppose, especially if your an astronomer, is that you have a multi-billion dollar tool to help keep the public interested in your field of study. Personally, I'd be happier if we focused more on the ocean exploration, since it effects every human on Earth and its been said before that we still know relatively little about it.
Thank goodness we can assign it colors with extreme bias.
Yea too vast for territorial control
@@jefffaller8474 Dude I'd be passionate about a literal poop ton of tax payer dollars. I'd be smiling like a mf during these interviews.

@@bldlightpainting prove it, better yet give a tiny amount of evidence
The same was true for Hubble. It absolutely showed me there is no empty sky. Love seeing the new images from the James Webb scope tho. I want to see more lol.
James Webb telescope is showing there are galaxies where there should "not" be galaxies. Hubble, while great, never showed such. Comparing the two is kind like comparing a Lada to a F1 car.
@Lobos222 There is no comparing the technology, but in 1996, Hubble's first deep field image showed 3,000 unknown galaxies in a blank spot in space. I'd say that qualifies as showing there is no empty sky.
@@thomasmiller2395 Exactly... The Hubble Deep Field images were utterly amazing, and still are. At the time, they pointed Hubble at the darkest part of our sky... equivalent to looking at your pinky nail with your arm fully extended.... and what they found changed our world forever. Webb is just able to do this quicker and deeper, which was the real impetus behind building it.
Beyond magnificent. What a great rest for the heart and mind to step outside this chaotic world of ours, if even for a moment, and behold the beauty of the Universe!
I second this
No no, does that mean we are gonna all connect together into one GIGANTIC UNIVERSE and we will be living with aliens?!?!!?
With all the negativity, death & destruction man is responsible for, this absolutely magnificent feat of mankind moved me to tears.
If we could just stick to expanding our best capabilities - there will be so many more amazing discoveries to come.
I know the Project Engineer on the telescope and she took me to see it back in 2017 when it was in LA being assembled. One of the coolest things I have ever done. Also, now that I think about it I was one of only a few people in the world who ever got to see it in person now that its floating up there in the heavens.
