      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!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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?

    • @LaunchPadAstronomy
      @LaunchPadAstronomy  2 роки тому +2

      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!

    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.
