Hi Christian. Thank you for the fantastic insight over the years. I really appreciate these images in a way I wouldn't without your content.
Would love if you could summarise in a video (or 2 or 3...!!) where we are at in our understanding of cosmology and what we are learning, how we are refining our models of the universe, and what remains to be learnt through data from Webb and the other next gen telescopes coming online over the next few years (which I learnt all about from your previous series on the topic). Thanks again and keep the wonderful insight coming!!
I see these images through out the week(s). But, I come here to make sense of them. As always, thank you Prof Ready. You always know how to nail it right every time.
You’re very kind, Paul, thank you!
This is probably the most "3D looking" space image I've seen thus far. It almost looks like the photo was taken from inside the nebula itself.
These are truly amazing time for astronomy. New discoveries are being developed almost daily. Even though the light in these images has been traveling for over 100k years, it seems so crisp and detailed. I can only imagine what the spectral analysis will say about these star forming regions.
I’ve only been sub’s for a few months but I’m so into your videos mate. No click bait no bs just straight to the subject. I’m astounded by the Webb content. Can’t wait for more.
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it.
Tarantula Nebula and just to think there was a belief that if a tarantula bit you, you would go into some type of crazy dance.
Just dance...... 😁
Fascinating! Thank you for the detailed explanation of the "bubble" around the protostar, with its different forms of hydrogen.
You bet, and thanks!
Amazing! What a great communicator. Thank you for the explanation.👌❤️🇦🇺
My pleasure and thanks 🙏
The zoom-ins always blow me away
Yeah, I love them too :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for zooming in on R136a1. I'm obsessed with that star and have been wanting someone to point out where it is in this spectacular Webb image. I had a feeling you would deliver!!
Your explanations makes it much easier to understand this overwhelming images. Thank you.
Tarantula immediately replaced Carina as background.. which is ridiculous because they’re both the coolest images ever taken.
Wow! Thanks!
You bet!
Awesome! Thanks Christian!
CHRISTIAN!!!! This was amazing!!! These images definitely exceeded my expectations. So I guess I'll retire my super strong binoculars now!!!
I do love your comments, man!
I truly appreciate your videos. Solid science, no absurd hype. Rare on UA-cam.
Christian, as always your videos and your presentations are simply the best- your productions rank at the highest level in quality and content anywhere on this platform. I would consider it to be a real loss if your videos were not available. Thank you. I want to comment that my fear that Webb wasn’t going to be a success was a direct corollary to my hope that it would, and like so many of us who value science I am astounded and in awe of the images and the science that Webb is producing. We should all be looking at it as a lesson in what our nation should be investing it’s time and energy into. With just .1% of our annual budget we put Webb into space. Imagine the science we could produce if just 1% was added to our science investment. That $10 billion/yr is a fraction of the national budget but could launch a Webb sized project nearly every yr. Imagine the progress we could make in cutting edge science.! Anyway, your channel is the best. Thank you
Absolutely stunning images. Especially together with your explanation of the research that's going on. Thanks!
Amazing picture for sure .
Thanks for the explanation.
Love the details in your videos.
Sometimes I have to watch a few times to grasp its content.
Among my top-5 all-youtube favorite astronomy channels, has been for some years. Thanks for making these.
What is your top 5. I could guess the list have Launch pad astronomy and Cool worlds
I get nostalgic when I see the Tarantula nebula, oh how I miss those early years of frantic star formation, that was a time.
Thank you Christian. I'm sure more images from JWST to follow. 😀
Pretty clouds in space, I like.
MIRI is the most important instrument on board that space craft. Hope the wheel problem gets solved.
So fortunate to have seen the Tarantula Nebula during my time in New Zealand, definitely need to get that JW image framed on my wall
Funky, far out and free man. Literally.
Great explanations
Incredible imagery and a clear explanation. Solid video.
Great video once again👍
great explanations as always
Thank you for your excellent presentations.
30 Doradus is my absolute favorite.
Thank you so much sir!
Woo hoo!!! Knowledge!!!! Cool space images, new things to learn, and a video from one of my favorite channels...YES!!!! Don't worry, Katy Perry, your videos are going to be played afterwards.... 😁🙃❤️ Y'all have a great day!!
Great video
Christian, you have the most marvellous way of describing and explaining things that makes exciting things crackle and sparkle, i bet you could make the inside of a ping pong balls sound thrilling! I want to shout 'play real loud!".
Thanks Pete, you’re very kind 😊
That Orion Nebula image is amazing!
I agree!
James Weeb, quelle merveille dévoilant tant de secrets, bien gardés au sein de la multiple dimension cosmique auparavant.
Merry Xmas mr Lorentz
Hi Christian,Arent They Beautiful❤️,Ive Already Gotten A Nice Image Of The Orion Nebula,This Early In The Season,,And I Agree About The Detail In The Tarantula Nebula,But Orion Is Still My Favorite On That,Thank You For Yet,Another Great Video,God Bless and Clear Skies❤️🙏🏻🌏✨🔭
this web resolution is just so out of her omg 😭💫💫
So if I understand correctly how giant blue star behave, in the next few milion of years, on average would have every century a bright supernova in the Tarantula nebula to study, those are exciting news if you are a astronomer and live milion of years.
Fantastic
Amazing
I'm back here a year later to wonder - have astronomers been able to see any 'proplyds' in the 30 Doradus? I'm assuming the answer is 'no', they're possible to see in the Orion nebula because that's relatively nearby, but 30 Doradus is too far away to resolve such small objects.
I'm so looking forward for first JWST pictures from Betelguese.
What happened to this star less than a year ago?
this is so cool, I think immersing myself in the just incredible sites of the universe really just gives me a sense of wonder and joy that I haven't gotten since I was little. This is probably a question with an obvious answer but I'm pretty sure I remember learning that the milky way is about 100,000 LYs across but also the tarantula nebula is about 160,000LYs away. Does that mean it's in a different galaxy than ours? I kinda always assumed that the next closest galaxy was much farther then ~50 or 60k lightyears away. Also, does Webb look at things mostly in our galaxy or out of it or both?
Hi Alex, the Tarantula is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way. So yes, it is located in another galaxy, but also technically the closest galaxy to us. Cheers!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy that's so cool, thanks for the information!
Wow
In Kenya watch
What’s going on out there is insane
Do not murder giant clusters
Taran Tula
Would be interesting to see the nebulas in motion, how it spirals little by little like clouds in the sky. Can Webb record videos?
Question , would they tell us if they found alien life ?
It would only be the greatest discovery ever made so yes.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy i hope so. But i mean intelligent life , not just germs or something. Maybe they want to know more about them first before telling us.

Honestly annoyed the word "proplyd" was not used once. C'mon man
Starts off I’m not gonna lie ! Shady? Stars in a galaxy 13.28 billion light years away formed only 250 million years after the Big Bang, finds a team of international astronomers led by groups at UCL and Osaka Sangyo University in Japan.
