I don’t think the younger generation can fully appreciate what it means when you say Hubble is 1980s technology. Most people couldn’t even use a computer back then . Our business computerized financial statements in 1989 and it was a huge deal to do your business on a CPU back then. and dealing with telescopes and pixels every little bit helps .considering thy profound world altering photos that we got from hubbles 1980’s tech I’m so excited to see James Webbs equivalent to the Hubbles deep field . Hubble showed us how many galaxies were out there. what will James will show us? Alien megastructures are always in the cards but The prospect of seeing them now is more realistic than ever.
Well said. Having watched since the days of X15 I too am both amazed and relieved at the technical prowess and potential for discovery, making it well worrh the wait. OTOH I must admit to finally understanding my old granny who used to say, first thing on coming through the front door when arriving for a visit; "you boy just wear me out", when I hear the pissing and moaning about an hour's delay with the presentation and complaints that the images are somehow disappointing. Oy!
not just perfectly, but better than perfect - damaged by a larger than expected impact to one mirror and STILL exceeding operational acceptance for the missions by a lot.
Please continue to provide updates on JWST. I have not heard how NASA plans to schedule releases and JMG/EV perspective on these matters is the best out there
Unfortunate but understandable. I obviously don’t see the analytics but I am curious how the viewership differs between EV/JMG. Call it just a hunch but I believe JWST will be a main driver of theoretical discussions for the foreseeable future. Thanks for the reply and love all that you do!
Major disappointment. All bright spots look like the Star of David. Thought AI would eliminate flaws from lens formation. There was no Big Bang so how could you see anything from a fictitious event???
@@EventHorizonShow That sucks this is the most exciting thing to happen in a while I thought most people would be interested. I would've even thought you would gain subs
The story of the Webb is already an epic of heroism and ingenuity: wait till it starts regularly upending much of what we think we know about the Cosmos. So grateful to be here now. 😍
I just love that a 24-hour exposure from the JWST was better than a 3-week exposure from Hubble. We have so much to look forward to. I'm so glad we have something to unify us right now.
13.1 billion years! I can’t even begin to comprehend how long of a time ago that is. Just let that sink in. Bro BILLIONS OF YEARS!! BILLIONS!! Mind blowing
I can't wait to sift through the new data. Just in the past few years we've had numerous cool new discoveries by citizen scientists, amateur astronomers, and curators just sifting through existing data. Astronomy is an ever growing mountain of data they can ALWAYS use a hand from folks online to help go through stuff.
The time traveling Voyager 1 space probe launched in 1977 is still communicating with Earth having left our solar system, even if it traveled another 14 billion years provided the circuitry held up it would still communicate back to Earth. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy. Just because the light and images from planet Mars are assumed to take 20 minutes to reach earth does not mean the Martians have traveled into another space-time dimension where the stars, planets and galaxies are in different locations from Earth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. To travel distance requires potential energy, an observer can have no effect on a moving objects kinetic energy-Relativity debunked. If there is no universal time in time dilation then there are no universal coordinates so time couldn't exist. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. When certain frequencies of light are shined onto metal electrons are ejected instantaneously without delay according to the photoelectric effect yet Einstein's disciples tell us the speed of light is limited to 186,000 miles per second. Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. Light travels in both directions, anyone having a conversation with their friends understands this simple phenomenon yet Einstein's disciples believe people on earth are time traveling backwards and forwards in space-time relative to one another. Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. The biggest threat to humanity is human stupidity. Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-). The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips images from left to right, but according to Einstein the images you see are the result of projectile light particle photons being transported into past and future dimensions of space-time. Explain how particle light photons can re-converge their molecular structures in mirrors and how this is done without violating the law of conservation of energy. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in all directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel all directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-). Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Einstein's projectile light particle proton has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime and because so wavelengths of light cannot stretch through spacetime! Red-shifts are simply the result of decelerating electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - longer wavelengths in red shift. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-).
The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Similar to a mirror light is a real-time wave reflector where light and images travel in straight lines-in all directions in space as they do on earth. The faintest stars and galaxies are neither in a past or future dimension of Einstein's space-time, they're in real-time. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light from our Milky Way galaxy. Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel in both directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second :-) There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. The Doppler effect is wrongly conflated with cosmological Redshift. As one approaches a blowing horn the perceived pitch is higher until the horn is reached, then becomes lower as the horn is passed. This phenomenon is caused by the physical movement of a mechanical soundwave traveling through the medium of air, similar to throwing a rock in a pond, the rock creates physical movement in the medium of water. Cosmological Redshifts are merely the GoPro fisheye effect where wavelengths appear to lengthen-stretch from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" If space was curved-warped according to Albert Einstein's curved-warped gravity theory gravity waves would effect time and the perfect balance in solar system orbital mechanics throwing planets off course-out of orbit in a collision course towards the sun where a planets gravity and time would increase and decrease with different velocity rates as they ascend and descend the curves of gravity waves. According to general relativity ie gravitational lensing (a warped field of vision in telescopes) is due to (mass) between a distant light source and the observer. If that were true earths huge mass would distort the light of the observer as well making telescopes unusable. So only other planets in the universe are affected by gravitational waves? In 1916 before it was known that man could travel in space Albert Einstein based his gravitational wave theory on relativity. In 2021 most of us realize if gravitational waves existed in space astronauts would be crushed like an underwater diver traveling to the bottom of the sea. Einstein's disciples defend relativity by saying gravity is a weak force, yeah so weak it affects planets and galaxies just not astronauts, the discovery space station or droplets of water in space? According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-). Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. Twins paradox debunked. If there is no universal time in time dilation then there are no universal coordinates so time couldn't exist.

Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. If light has a limitation of speed how do Einstein's disciples explain time dilation and the increasingly faster rate of expansion of the theorized Big Bang? Maxwell's equations state light has a constant speed of 299792458 m/s but if light slowed down its kinetic energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy. To govern, limit or decelerate kinetic energy takes more kinetic energy duh Applying the same equations of Einstein's time dilation on earth a Democrats gravity, speech, hearing and eyesight would be in a past dimension of space-time :-).

This is a "long form" type of channel (either in the form of Podcasts or Monologues), something it is not prefered by many advertisers (hence not promoted by UA-cam´s allmighty algorithm either).
Something to note, when it comes to recognizing just how powerful this space telescope has proven to be: There's only another 500.000 or 600.000 k light-years left of depth, beyond which *nothing* can be "seen", as there exist no free photons beyond that epoch.

I have been looking forward to the info on this Telescope but have been waiting on the info to come from here. You have the best delivery of space stuff.
I've noticed that the big screen at football stadiums shows the game from about 2 or 3 seconds in the past, if you look at the image of the screen 'within the screen' it is compounded and you can see back about 4 or 5 seconds. So all you need to do if you want to see the big bang is get a really, really big Tv screen and point a camera at it. You will be able to see things that happened billions of years ago. Might need an 8K one.
I dont know what blows my mind the most. The images or the fact someone built that thing, put it on a rocket, placed it in a the L2 orbit, unpacks itself and it still works in a time when our world leaders cant agree on what a woman is. 😀😀😀
Having the data available is incredible. I'm working on creating images from the data, and I'm now looking at understanding how to create models using spectrum data. (I'm a man from the army, learned data science, and now exploring hard sciences)
@@EventHorizonShow I've actually started documenting the process which is mostly a struggle, and to make it worse, i'm actually displaying my inability to do basic photometry in public by streaming it to my french community. At least no one has complained yet about the production quality or lack thereof.
Remember the Apollo missions, absolutely everything about the shuttle missions,,,, and Hubble... waited 30 years for Webb,,, I'll be dead for the next one... Having high expectations for Webb... Start bringing it!!!!
Hubble was made with somewhat the first generation of CCD array's, the public couldn't buy a digital camera than, now they can. James Webb's CCD arry's are vastly improved over Hubble's.
Remember Hubble's instruments were swapped out several times over the life of the telescope. Hubble's current instruments are several generations better than the ones it launched with.
I loved how you explained multiplexing ("muxing") light twice as fast as Hubble because you have 2 cameras collecting different colors of light from the same exposure collected by the JWST. Much more efficiencies means longer exposures, meaning even deeper imaging!
Thank you Dr. Pontoppidan for using the proper term of "amateur astronomers" or amateur anything really, instead of the utterly ridiculous "citizen scientist", as though all professionals are military members or government bureaucrats. And thank you for the informative interview, I hope John and the EH team will have you back again soon.
So incredible. The colors are so vivid. It is so exciting to be alive at this time in history as technology starts to show us more and more of the Universe.
The next telescope should have an inflatable Kevlar shroud to protect against oblique micrometeor impacts without making it too heavy to launch. An inflatable shroud would also have the benefit of spreading out the impact force over time as the shroud temporarily collapses, so it could absorb larger impacts without needing to be incredibly thick.
Listening to this Podcast I just realized Webbs limitations. It can be aligned only as far as the heat shield pointed towards the sun allows and its not really designed for anything other than observations beyond our galaxy. I was hoping for some insights into proxima.
@@booklover6753 okay but doesn't the heat shield need to pointed towards the sun at all times? doesn't that somewhat limit its action of radius? It even has been said it can't map all the sky. Idk you might be a turbo tard.
@@cbuchner1 well that's the thing it's limited to a schedule. they can't just point at any random point 360° at any given time. and again the heat shield needs to be pointed towards the sun
Yes, these are infrared images, so we have to add colors to be able to see them. For galaxies far away, their light has shifted to longer wavelengths because the galaxy is moving away from us at high speed. We can shift that light back, and reconstruct what the galaxy would look like in visible light.
The observable Universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter. By using the Bayesian model averaging, scientists estimated that the Universe is at least 250 times larger than the observable Universe. Seeing how all that see is as things were, then it’s all pretty limiting.
The images look like the original intros for Dr Who from about 1984 upwards, they had a good imagination of what the universe looked like all those years ago.
Fantastic interview. The JWT will be providing insights and making discoveries for a long time. And I am sure that an even larger telescope is in the pipeworks
Speaking of downloading and having fun with the raw JWST data. I'm not a scientist at all and I got the raw images almost no problem (not the composites, the actual raw stuff from each filter). Takes a bit of reading to figure out how everything is categorized and searched for but it took me only a couple hours to figure it out. The viewing / exporting apps for it are free as well. SAO is a great .fits viewer. Remember, the MAST resource base is searchable in the "NGC-xxxx" format and has historical pictures from HST and other missions as well for download so you can do practically anything you want in terms of creative freedom.
This telescope from what I have read just studied the TRAPPIST-1 system for a full 5 hours in detail, which includes 7 planets of which 3 are in the habitable zone. This is a pretty important study since this system is located only a little over 4 light years away from us. If we were ever able to travel to another star system it would be the one we would travel to.
Would it be possible to recognise a technological signature such as complex hydrocarbons or other contaminants that would indicate a civilisation? If so would we then be able to target that system to look for communication emission signatures?
Yes, and no i think, i do think JWST can detect complex hydrocarbons or other contaminants, i do not think JWST is sensitive enough to be able to target that system to look for communication emission signatures, but i am not a physicist, i am just a Dutch guy that loves this shit.
Something about this whole "looking back in time idea puzzles me". Here's a thought experiment. If a telescope looks at an object that is 15 billion light years away I get that it is seeing the object as it was 15 billion years ago. The thing I don't understand is that, if the light that you are seeing was emitted 15 billion years ago then the object would have been much closer to the earth at the that time. In fact (correct me if I'm wrong) but wasn't the universe very tiny 15 billion years ago and wouldn't the distance needed to travel for the light to reach us also have been minuscule. If that was the case then the light from the object 15 billion years ago would have reached us (and passed by) long ago. Paradoxically, doesn't this mean we can never "see" back15 billion years?
@@Goblinoid-o I really get sick and tired of people with little more than a high school education (or liberal arts degree) trying to pretend they understand profoundly abstract concepts (that require high level mathematical models). Clearly your "explanation" is utterly clueless. In order for the universe to expand fast enough to "outrun" light it has to be expanding faster than the speed of light. If that were the case the light would NEVER reach us. If you maybe took an actual university level physics course you might have enough humility to recognize that these concepts are so far beyond normal human "intuition" that you can't even comprehend your limitations. If these things could be intuitively understood they wouldn't require the most advanced mathematics humans are capable of.
I'm wondering what the next space telescope is going to have on its "utility bat belt" and what kind of spectrums it's going to reveal, The JWST is just awesome! and have set the tone for the next wave of SST(super space telescopes)
Fun Fact: *The galaxies in the picture almost CERTAINLY DO NOT look like that NOW. MOST of the galaxies we are excited about seeing today in 2022, may not even exist AT ALL anymore. We are literally looking at a 10 BILLION YR OLD PICTURE.*
Forgot to mention the Milky Way is expected to be over 13 billion years old. I suspect most of the galaxies are very old and already collapsed gravitationally. There is still plenty of free hydrogen in intergalactic medium, though.
Just because you can see the light from an object 38 zillion light years away doesn't mean that object still exists. And there could be newer objects whose light hasn't reached us yet.
Do we calculate that distance based on the earths surface (where telescope is placed), or do we calculate that distance based on the point in space that the telescope reaches, and measure from there ? What is the exact distance in space that the telescope stops “zooming in” for example, if there’s a mountain really far away, how far would that mountain have to be for it to be right outside of that telescopes reach of vision ?
The first images were breathtaking. Don't you think with the SpaceX Super heavy or the new Starship it could reach and service James Webb, and return. It is being made to go to Luna and Mars respectively. So we could service and extend its lifespan!
John,why is it that these new episodes are not being uploaded to Spotify? I just recently bought the paid subscription to channel there and i am kinda bummed to not be able to watch these there without ads.
This light was generated before our solar system was born, yet I’m looking at this ancient light from this distant galaxy.. I can’t get my head around that 😆
Distances so vast they are beyond human comprehension . One can only imagine how much further away these galaxies are to each other in real time. IMO the next space telescope should concentrate on exoplanets. Their is no number large enough to cover every possible exoplanet in the visible universe.
Micro-meteorites will hit the mirror, and that's expected, but what about hitting the sun shield? From what I've read, even small holes in the sun shield would/could compromise its performance, and with the requirements that the instruments remain super-cold for their infrared observations, could compromise the effectiveness of the entire mission. The sun shield is a considerably larger target for micro-meteorites than the mirror.

Yes all JWST all the time . It’s the most important science happening now
++
I concur
I don’t think the younger generation can fully appreciate what it means when you say Hubble is 1980s technology. Most people couldn’t even use a computer back then . Our business computerized financial statements in 1989 and it was a huge deal to do your business on a CPU back then. and dealing with telescopes and pixels every little bit helps .considering thy profound world altering photos that we got from hubbles 1980’s tech I’m so excited to see James Webbs equivalent to the Hubbles deep field . Hubble showed us how many galaxies were out there. what will James will show us? Alien megastructures are always in the cards but The prospect of seeing them now is more realistic than ever.
Yes, more jwst. Gotta pace yourself on it though.
Particularly when they start getting spectra from planetary atmospheres
Still reeling that this thing is actually working perfectly, Ive got to be honest, I really didnt think it would. Stupendous achievement.
Well said. Having watched since the days of X15 I too am both amazed and relieved at the technical prowess and potential for discovery, making it well worrh the wait.
OTOH I must admit to finally understanding my old granny who used to say, first thing on coming through the front door when arriving for a visit; "you boy just wear me out", when I hear the pissing and moaning about an hour's delay with the presentation and complaints that the images are somehow disappointing. Oy!
:( yah the agency is demonic, but have faith in our capabilities, humans have and will continue to do amazing things
Oh ye of little faith....
Nah neither did I 🤣
I'm hopeful that this will make future space endeavors more appealing.
not just perfectly, but better than perfect - damaged by a larger than expected impact to one mirror and STILL exceeding operational acceptance for the missions by a lot.
I'm not just excited for what the JWST is going to show us but I'm also excited to hear John discuss these new discoveries on this channel.
Doe?
@@lebronjamesharden3958 Buck?
John's channel is amazing!
@@johannes7159 Indeed!
Standing on the shore,
Looking out farther than any human has ever looked before.
Watching Space and Time meet.
We're always watching space and time meet.
Please continue to provide updates on JWST. I have not heard how NASA plans to schedule releases and JMG/EV perspective on these matters is the best out there
We want to, but so far the response to our coverage on the channel is lacking.
Unfortunate but understandable. I obviously don’t see the analytics but I am curious how the viewership differs between EV/JMG. Call it just a hunch but I believe JWST will be a main driver of theoretical discussions for the foreseeable future. Thanks for the reply and love all that you do!
@@EventHorizonShow for real ?
Major disappointment. All bright spots look like the Star of David. Thought AI would eliminate flaws from lens formation. There was no Big Bang so how could you see anything from a fictitious event???
@@EventHorizonShow That sucks this is the most exciting thing to happen in a while I thought most people would be interested. I would've even thought you would gain subs
The story of the Webb is already an epic of heroism and ingenuity: wait till it starts regularly upending much of what we think we know about the Cosmos. So grateful to be here now. 😍
I just love that a 24-hour exposure from the JWST was better than a 3-week exposure from Hubble. We have so much to look forward to. I'm so glad we have something to unify us right now.
6 hour exposure, but your point is still valid.
UA-cam has become way more entertaining and informative than tv and movies.ALWAYS something new to learn or just enjoy.
I thought i was excited but i get the feeling John is legitimately truly in love with JWST. Its beautiful.
13.1 billion years! I can’t even begin to comprehend how long of a time ago that is. Just let that sink in. Bro BILLIONS OF YEARS!! BILLIONS!! Mind blowing
I can't wait to sift through the new data. Just in the past few years we've had numerous cool new discoveries by citizen scientists, amateur astronomers, and curators just sifting through existing data. Astronomy is an ever growing mountain of data they can ALWAYS use a hand from folks online to help go through stuff.
The time traveling Voyager 1 space probe launched in 1977 is still communicating with Earth having left our solar system, even if it traveled another 14 billion years provided the circuitry held up it would still communicate back to Earth. Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light and images from our Milky Way galaxy. Just because the light and images from planet Mars are assumed to take 20 minutes to reach earth does not mean the Martians have traveled into another space-time dimension where the stars, planets and galaxies are in different locations from Earth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy. To travel distance requires potential energy, an observer can have no effect on a moving objects kinetic energy-Relativity debunked. If there is no universal time in time dilation then there are no universal coordinates so time couldn't exist. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. When certain frequencies of light are shined onto metal electrons are ejected instantaneously without delay according to the photoelectric effect yet Einstein's disciples tell us the speed of light is limited to 186,000 miles per second. Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. Time and distance cannot be relative to other objects in space-time as that would violate the law of conservation of energy.
Light travels in both directions, anyone having a conversation with their friends understands this simple phenomenon yet Einstein's disciples believe people on earth are time traveling backwards and forwards in space-time relative to one another. Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. The biggest threat to humanity is human stupidity. Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. Explain how moving clocks can run slow without having a universal time :-). Doublethink is the act of accepting two conflicting beliefs as truth. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-).
The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips images from left to right, but according to Einstein the images you see are the result of projectile light particle photons being transported into past and future dimensions of space-time. Explain how particle light photons can re-converge their molecular structures in mirrors and how this is done without violating the law of conservation of energy.
From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in all directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel all directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-). Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions.
Einstein's projectile light particle proton has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime and because so wavelengths of light cannot stretch through spacetime! Red-shifts are simply the result of decelerating electrons, as moving electrons of charged electromagnetic waves-light travel through the plasma of the universe each lump (or "quanta") of energy in the electromagnetic waves are charged then discharged to the next lump, eventually the energy dissipates causing the delay in radio communications giving the appearance of time dilation - longer wavelengths in red shift. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-).
The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Similar to a mirror light is a real-time wave reflector where light and images travel in straight lines-in all directions in space as they do on earth. The faintest stars and galaxies are neither in a past or future dimension of Einstein's space-time, they're in real-time.
Light and images travel both ways, aliens in distant galaxies using similar James Webb telescopes would also see the light from our Milky Way galaxy.
Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions (forwards and backwards through Einstein's space-time) while violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how Einstein's projectile light particle proton can travel in both directions having a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second :-)
There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end.
The Doppler effect is wrongly conflated with cosmological Redshift. As one approaches a blowing horn the perceived pitch is higher until the horn is reached, then becomes lower as the horn is passed. This phenomenon is caused by the physical movement of a mechanical soundwave traveling through the medium of air, similar to throwing a rock in a pond, the rock creates physical movement in the medium of water. Cosmological Redshifts are merely the GoPro fisheye effect where wavelengths appear to lengthen-stretch from the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End"
If space was curved-warped according to Albert Einstein's curved-warped gravity theory gravity waves would effect time and the perfect balance in solar system orbital mechanics throwing planets off course-out of orbit in a collision course towards the sun where a planets gravity and time would increase and decrease with different velocity rates as they ascend and descend the curves of gravity waves. According to general relativity ie gravitational lensing (a warped field of vision in telescopes) is due to (mass) between a distant light source and the observer. If that were true earths huge mass would distort the light of the observer as well making telescopes unusable. So only other planets in the universe are affected by gravitational waves? In 1916 before it was known that man could travel in space Albert Einstein based his gravitational wave theory on relativity. In 2021 most of us realize if gravitational waves existed in space astronauts would be crushed like an underwater diver traveling to the bottom of the sea. Einstein's disciples defend relativity by saying gravity is a weak force, yeah so weak it affects planets and galaxies just not astronauts, the discovery space station or droplets of water in space?
According to time dilation there is no universal time in the universe so all the stars galaxies and planets have different coordinates in space-time, if that were true astronomy software wouldn't work, light-speed and space travel couldn't be calculated. Explain how the James Webb space telescope can time travel into the past to view the physical properties of matter as it was 14 billion years ago with the simple technology of a telescope :-). Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time.
Traveling at a different speed from the stationary clock having no universal time, all the stars, planets and galaxies would be in a different place in the universe so distance for the observer could never be calculated. Twins paradox debunked.

Testing the speed light on Earth is like riding a bicycle up hill, gravity will show you down. If light has a limitation of speed how do Einstein's disciples explain time dilation and the increasingly faster rate of expansion of the theorized Big Bang?
Maxwell's equations state light has a constant speed of 299792458 m/s but if light slowed down its kinetic energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy. To govern, limit or decelerate kinetic energy takes more kinetic energy duh

Hands down one of the best channels on UA-cam.this channel is the reason I fell in love with space and all it's beauty and mysteries. Thank u
I will never tire of the scientific discoveries from The Webb! I will be on edge with every episode you bring.
This has quickly become the most exciting channel in my sub box. Thank you so much for making such informative content.
This channel has some of the best content ever.. love it!
How has this channel not got millions of subscribers?!
This is a "long form" type of channel (either in the form of Podcasts or Monologues), something it is not prefered by many advertisers (hence not promoted by UA-cam´s allmighty algorithm either).
Yeah, it is a shame @@adolfodef .
I had the same query, pretty shabby that it’s driven by spurious algos.
There's lots of channels covering this exact same thing.
Living in JWST's era is like living when Galileo's first pointed his telescope to the Moon.
We're living in an age of revolution for astronomy.
Hmm, what will we find? Will it be more "surprising" than what Galileo found?
They couldn't watch it on their phones back in the day🤔
Something to note, when it comes to recognizing just how powerful this space telescope has proven to be: There's only another 500.000 or 600.000 k light-years left of depth, beyond which *nothing* can be "seen", as there exist no free photons beyond that epoch.
Two words. Gravity waves. Like IR going through cosmic dust, gravity waves can penetrate the Cosmic Microwave Background.
Stay tuned.
@@executivesteps Don't think that'll do the trick before recombination.
@@thesunexpress I’m not sure why recombination would affect primordial gravity waves.

Never been so early to one of your vids!
Glad you're covering the first JWST images here aswell!
JWST and Hubble are great examples of under promising and over delivering. Amazing science.
The music at the end is incredible.
I always become excited by Anna’s voice.
Any and all information and pictures of this INCREDIBLE telescope is ALWAYS appreciated
There is so much talk of course of the new JWST images. I am just speechless. This is all incredible.
I have been looking forward to the info on this Telescope but have been waiting on the info to come from here. You have the best delivery of space stuff.
Man it could not have gone better getting James up there
I've noticed that the big screen at football stadiums shows the game from about 2 or 3 seconds in the past, if you look at the image of the screen 'within the screen' it is compounded and you can see back about 4 or 5 seconds. So all you need to do if you want to see the big bang is get a really, really big Tv screen and point a camera at it. You will be able to see things that happened billions of years ago. Might need an 8K one.
You could only go back as far as when you started recording.
Can't wait for what is viewed when pointed at the great attractor mystery going be some Epic Science!🎉
I dont know what blows my mind the most. The images or the fact someone built that thing, put it on a rocket, placed it in a the L2 orbit, unpacks itself and it still works in a time when our world leaders cant agree on what a woman is. 😀😀😀
I used to listen to this show at night to sleep. Now I’m super hooked on it. Thanks for these videos.
Ty for you uploads.
Having the data available is incredible. I'm working on creating images from the data, and I'm now looking at understanding how to create models using spectrum data. (I'm a man from the army, learned data science, and now exploring hard sciences)
Share them with us when you do!
@@EventHorizonShow I've actually started documenting the process which is mostly a struggle, and to make it worse, i'm actually displaying my inability to do basic photometry in public by streaming it to my french community. At least no one has complained yet about the production quality or lack thereof.
Thank you both for this update , so interesting.
It is very impressive i have to say. The Engineering is complex, lots of moving parts to deploy it. More than i thought.
For those interested, Joe Scott did a great video comparing JWT to Hubble images, I highly recommend.
I'm excited by the questions, not the answers! I'm expecting some real head scratchers over the next few years!
Remember the Apollo missions, absolutely everything about the shuttle missions,,,, and Hubble... waited 30 years for Webb,,, I'll be dead for the next one... Having high expectations for Webb... Start bringing it!!!!
Hubble was made with somewhat the first generation of CCD array's, the public couldn't buy a digital camera than, now they can.
James Webb's CCD arry's are vastly improved over Hubble's.
Remember Hubble's instruments were swapped out several times over the life of the telescope. Hubble's current instruments are several generations better than the ones it launched with.
The gravitational lensing is mind boggling in the pictures.
So glad JWT is actually looking like a succes!
I loved how you explained multiplexing ("muxing") light twice as fast as Hubble because you have 2 cameras collecting different colors of light from the same exposure collected by the JWST. Much more efficiencies means longer exposures, meaning even deeper imaging!
What benefit would there be having multiple copies of James web all orbiting together? Could they function as one larger telescope?
I'm glad we have lived to this time
Thank you Dr. Pontoppidan for using the proper term of "amateur astronomers" or amateur anything really, instead of the utterly ridiculous "citizen scientist", as though all professionals are military members or government bureaucrats. And thank you for the informative interview, I hope John and the EH team will have you back again soon.
So incredible. The colors are so vivid. It is so exciting to be alive at this time in history as technology starts to show us more and more of the Universe.
The colors are added, they aren't actually photographing them.
Didn't know Arnold Schwarzenegger knew so much about JWST
Ya the people who built this thing should take a bow. They hit a Grand slam.
Really fantastic interview, John! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the info!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
The next telescope should have an inflatable Kevlar shroud to protect against oblique micrometeor impacts without making it too heavy to launch. An inflatable shroud would also have the benefit of spreading out the impact force over time as the shroud temporarily collapses, so it could absorb larger impacts without needing to be incredibly thick.
My first reaction is anything you put around the mirror emits infrared light and can potentially decrease image quality.
Another step for mankind 💪🏿
I'm not waiting til bedtime for this one.
Loved this one. I can’t wait for what we discover with this telescope!
..with John Michael, Godier
Hey where are my STRINGS!?!
Listening to this Podcast I just realized Webbs limitations. It can be aligned only as far as the heat shield pointed towards the sun allows and its not really designed for anything other than observations beyond our galaxy. I was hoping for some insights into proxima.
You don't understand how JWST being positioned at L2 works. There will be no restrictions on which direction it can look.
@@booklover6753 okay but doesn't the heat shield need to pointed towards the sun at all times? doesn't that somewhat limit its action of radius? It even has been said it can't map all the sky. Idk you might be a turbo tard.
@@booklover6753 I think you are wrong JWST does have limitations for sure.
L2 circles around the sun with the earth, so the entire sky is accessible over the course of an earth year.
@@cbuchner1 well that's the thing it's limited to a schedule. they can't just point at any random point 360° at any given time. and again the heat shield needs to be pointed towards the sun
Thank you Anna x
The gravitational lensing is stunning as well as the details you can see.
When is your Tabby's star observation time scheduled for?
Hopefully they free up 5.5 days to check on Cygnus X1 and the black hole there. one orbit of the black hole, see what is going on there.
The images we are seeing aren’t exactly as they were in the past. The colours were added, I understand.
Yes, these are infrared images, so we have to add colors to be able to see them.
For galaxies far away, their light has shifted to longer wavelengths because the galaxy is moving away from us at high speed. We can shift that light back, and reconstruct what the galaxy would look like in visible light.
Event horizon + JWST= ❤❤❤💫💥💥💥💫💫❤❤❤
Watching this groundbreaking science video. I couldn’t help but think, this guy sounds like the terminators younger brother.
The observable Universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter. By using the Bayesian model averaging, scientists estimated that the Universe is at least 250 times larger than the observable Universe. Seeing how all that see is as things were, then it’s all pretty limiting.
What a brilliant name "Pontoppidan", how can you not be happy with a name like that? :)
The images look like the original intros for Dr Who from about 1984 upwards, they had a good imagination of what the universe looked like all those years ago.
Delicious nourishment
Fantastic interview. The JWT will be providing insights and making discoveries for a long time.
And I am sure that an even larger telescope is in the pipeworks
There is indeed

Nancy Grace Roman Telescope will launch in 2027. The JWT only has a lifespan of 10 years. Should be a good ten years tho.
@@yourmum5895 twenty years
@@maxamahnken7325 it was originally ten but now they think 20 years cause of the low fuel usage. an extra 10 years is awesome for sure.
Get the feeling an image of Neptune or Uranus could be as good as a flyby.
Not quite. When JWST looks at Mars, the image of the entire planet is about 1000 px wide. A flyby would get images with much higher resolution.
Absolutely, stunningly, beautiful images, thanks for sharing beauties.
So when are they planning to look at Proxima Centauri b? Anybody know?
Thank you, what a time to be alive!
Speaking of downloading and having fun with the raw JWST data. I'm not a scientist at all and I got the raw images almost no problem (not the composites, the actual raw stuff from each filter). Takes a bit of reading to figure out how everything is categorized and searched for but it took me only a couple hours to figure it out. The viewing / exporting apps for it are free as well. SAO is a great .fits viewer. Remember, the MAST resource base is searchable in the "NGC-xxxx" format and has historical pictures from HST and other missions as well for download so you can do practically anything you want in terms of creative freedom.
Yes, more please.
Noooooo
Great video !
This telescope from what I have read just studied the TRAPPIST-1 system for a full 5 hours in detail, which includes 7 planets of which 3 are in the habitable zone. This is a pretty important study since this system is located only a little over 4 light years away from us. If we were ever able to travel to another star system it would be the one we would travel to.
that's 40 lightyears, not 4.
What is an one order of magnitude in astronomy? ;) Being off by a factor of two means you have basically nailed it ;)
Would it be possible to recognise a technological signature such as complex hydrocarbons or other contaminants that would indicate a civilisation? If so would we then be able to target that system to look for communication emission signatures?
Hell yes it would
Yes, and no i think, i do think JWST can detect complex hydrocarbons or other contaminants, i do not think JWST is sensitive enough to be able to target that system to look for communication emission signatures, but i am not a physicist, i am just a Dutch guy that loves this shit.
instantly subscribed, well , instantly after watching the very informative video
Happy you found us.
Something about this whole "looking back in time idea puzzles me". Here's a thought experiment. If a telescope looks at an object that is 15 billion light years away I get that it is seeing the object as it was 15 billion years ago. The thing I don't understand is that, if the light that you are seeing was emitted 15 billion years ago then the object would have been much closer to the earth at the that time. In fact (correct me if I'm wrong) but wasn't the universe very tiny 15 billion years ago and wouldn't the distance needed to travel for the light to reach us also have been minuscule. If that was the case then the light from the object 15 billion years ago would have reached us (and passed by) long ago. Paradoxically, doesn't this mean we can never "see" back15 billion years?
as the universe expands, it creates more distance that the light has to travel.
@@Goblinoid-o I really get sick and tired of people with little more than a high school education (or liberal arts degree) trying to pretend they understand profoundly abstract concepts (that require high level mathematical models). Clearly your "explanation" is utterly clueless. In order for the universe to expand fast enough to "outrun" light it has to be expanding faster than the speed of light. If that were the case the light would NEVER reach us. If you maybe took an actual university level physics course you might have enough humility to recognize that these concepts are so far beyond normal human "intuition" that you can't even comprehend your limitations. If these things could be intuitively understood they wouldn't require the most advanced mathematics humans are capable of.
I'm wondering what the next space telescope is going to have on its "utility bat belt" and what kind of spectrums it's going to reveal, The JWST is just awesome! and have set the tone for the next wave of SST(super space telescopes)
Fun Fact:
*The galaxies in the picture almost CERTAINLY DO NOT look like that NOW. MOST of the galaxies we are excited about seeing today in 2022, may not even exist AT ALL anymore. We are literally looking at a 10 BILLION YR OLD PICTURE.*
True, but galaxies exist in some shape. I think one of the pictures showed spiral mergers, so these are most likely now one big elliptic galaxy.
@@pavel9652 True. 👌
Forgot to mention the Milky Way is expected to be over 13 billion years old. I suspect most of the galaxies are very old and already collapsed gravitationally. There is still plenty of free hydrogen in intergalactic medium, though.
Gawd almighty yes please. This the premier channel for such.
We will never get absolute proff there is life on another planet.
it’s statistically impossible for there to be no life on other planets
Yes!
Excellent interview. I would like to see more frequent updates on James Webb findings
Now you will get it. They’ve been aligning the mirrors for the last 6 months.
Just because you can see the light from an object 38 zillion light years away doesn't mean that object still exists. And there could be newer objects whose light hasn't reached us yet.
Apparently since 1982 when the jwsb shot the first school backdrop for photos.
Amazing coverage keep it coming!
Nothing really surprised me about these images tbf.. but imagine a 12 day deep field in stead of the 12 hour one we got (!)
That the kind of info I would of expected them to tell us.
Do we calculate that distance based on the earths surface (where telescope is placed), or do we calculate that distance based on the point in space that the telescope reaches, and measure from there ? What is the exact distance in space that the telescope stops “zooming in” for example, if there’s a mountain really far away, how far would that mountain have to be for it to be right outside of that telescopes reach of vision ?
The first images were breathtaking.
Don't you think with the SpaceX Super heavy or the new Starship it could reach and service James Webb, and return. It is being made to go to Luna and Mars respectively. So we could service and extend its lifespan!
We'd have to figure out how to approach JWST without damaging the sunshield, or getting exhaust gases condense on the mirrors.
And to think some grossly short sighted politicians almost cancelled the JWST
It cost ten times what it was supposed to.
That's a more spectacular budgetary fuck up than Boston's Big Dig.
Awesome!
indeed
1:30 If you zoom in between the cluster of galaxies making a triangle, there's a face looking back at us.
John,why is it that these new episodes are not being uploaded to Spotify? I just recently bought the paid subscription to channel there and i am kinda bummed to not be able to watch these there without ads.
Apologies! They should’ve been but something got mixed up with the uploads. They’ll be up tonight and we will have future episodes up early again.
@@EventHorizonShow No problem then,and thank you for the quick reply!
Great interview! Thank you very much.
This light was generated before our solar system was born, yet I’m looking at this ancient light from this distant galaxy.. I can’t get my head around that 😆
Distances so vast they are beyond human comprehension . One can only imagine how much further away these galaxies are to each other in real time. IMO the next space telescope should concentrate on exoplanets. Their is no number large enough to cover every possible exoplanet in the visible universe.
Subbed! First time seeing the channel
That light is coming from a galaxy far far away…
Micro-meteorites will hit the mirror, and that's expected, but what about hitting the sun shield? From what I've read, even small holes in the sun shield would/could compromise its performance, and with the requirements that the instruments remain super-cold for their infrared observations, could compromise the effectiveness of the entire mission. The sun shield is a considerably larger target for micro-meteorites than the mirror.
