- Decades of work, $10 billion in spending and nearly 14 billion years of cosmic history have brought us to this moment: the first science from the largest and most powerful observatory ever built.
I'm glad I lived to see this happen! Being older, I have given up thinking I'd see humans on Mars. It pains me to think that we are only getting ready to go back to the moon after having been there so long ago. At least we will now be able to see clearly into the cosmic past. I hope the JWST has a long life, at least for the benefit of younger people interested in exploring the Universe.
Arent we supposed to go to Mars just in a couple years though?
@@kam2894 I'd rather see some improvements in space flight first.
Don't worry, the scientists predict it will last longer than they initially planned for. Other than the micro meteoroid hitting it, it went perfectly. Even with that, they should be able to correct for it.
@@thorham1346 Id rather see both
@@kam2894 we are going back to the moon in a couple years, what you might be thinking of is Elon Musk claiming Space X will put people on Mars by the end of the decade but he's a liar, he has to lie to create hype for space X and Tesla.
its absolutely astonishing how this was created. Has to be one of the greatest instruments of human history. Generations beyond us will benefit from jwst discoveries, so thrilling!
they won't be grateful. They'll take it for granted
It’s cgi.
@@MadebyJimbob Yo brain is cgi.
What matters for the next generation are Video games, materialism and rap.
@@I_dont_want_an_at Just like we take the discoveries of Galileo, Copernicus, etc for granted.
This is beyond exciting for me. It's like holding a special lens up to the universe and seeing into its past. Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe it and I get giddy every time I read more about it. No amount of money could ever be enough to pay for this priceless moment in history.
Perfect response
“It’s like holding a special lens up to the universe and seeing into its past”. Why, yes yes that’s exactly what it is.
“No amount of money could ever be enough to pay for this priceless moment in history”. Actually, it cost about 10 billion dollars. 🤣🤣🤣
it doesnt exist. all they show is cgi and you believe its real...
10 billion is a pretty good amount lol
seeing what past, do they even know in which direction those galaxies are.. front , behind, above or below?..
I can’t even begin to imagine how awesome it has to be for the scientists who have been working on this project from the beginning. I’d imagine the feelings they have toward this machine and this mission rival the love of any parent for their first-born child! I’m sure they have wept like babies throughout the process of sending this big guy out and getting it dialed in. Who knows where this mission will eventually take us and what knowledge it will impart?!
So they wasted billions of dollars for what??
A modern day tower of Babble???
They can't get along on this planet, so what, go look for others to screw up!!!
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment! Thanks

@Futura
This has to be the most ignorant comment anyone could’ve possibly made regarding this borderline miraculous feat of human intelligence, engineering, and ingenuity. A mission which, mind you, is poised to capture, and has already taken, some of the most important images in human history.
Overpaid? I beg to differ and to the contrary…it took over 20 years to fund the science, as well as the costs of development, manufacture, and transport necessary for this modern marvel of human ability/technology to get off the ground, into position (1 million miles from Earth), and fully operational. Yet we here in America give the military industrial complex full access to practically any request it makes and allot any federal funds it requires almost immediately. Even to the extent that we allow said funds to the tune of TRILLIONS to even be added to our national debt clock without question. And to boot, we’ve not truly been “at war” or even in danger from any foreign threat since 9/11.
We also pay teachers, the selfless individuals preparing our children for LIFE, utter peanuts…and their programs are still regularly underfunded or not funded at all, and they are even personally put in the position of having to purchase their own supplies, for themselves and their students.
Tell me again who is overpaid.
This is a part of history. I’m glad to have been alive while this discovery occurred.
For all you youngsters just starting out in your working careers … consider that many of the scientists and engineers who created this telescope worked for 30 years on this project- all knowing that there was a possibility that it would launch and never get into space (launch failure)… or one critical part would fail to work, rendering the telescope useless and nearly impossible to repair given its distance from Earth (1 million miles)…
The level of dedication and brilliance is in and of itself an accomplishment, and a testament to the ingenuity and resolve we are all capable of - no matter what career we choose or passion we pursue.
Gosh I wish I could work at NASA!
Someone at nasa hire this man!! ☺️
@@harjjj123 He obviously works for them already.
Literally brings a tear into my eye. Seeing a group of people push for the growth of human knowledge. I’m glad to be alive to see this happen
Me too, tears here
Absolutely 💯 correct 👏 👌
Gives one hope for mankind. Then we see the comments from mouthbreathers who call it CGI and we're suddenly pulled back to Proto-Idiocracy and I think: Still here... Never mind.
@@mis4nthr0p3 We seem to have remarkable qualities. If only conservatives would stop interfering with human progress.
@@yvonneplant9434 it’s not just conservatives, there’s ignorant people on all sides
One grain of sand held at arms length on the tip of your finger. That's all we're seeing in this image. WOW 😯 so for every grain of sand this single image can be replicated over the whole of our view. That's just beyond comprehension.
Oh they’re planning on doing just that, we just have to be patient. The waiting is the hardest part. I think Tom Petty said that 🤔
@@Pretermit_Sound yeah, but with the increased resolution and the size of the field Webb is going to be producing images like this every day where hubble took 10 days to take a similar image at much lower resolution. So we won't have to wait long for more 😁exciting times ahead
@@geofthompson3844 I know. This is so awesome that it’s hard to describe. Happy stargazing 🔭☺️✌🏻🇺🇸
So from what I can remember they pointed it any area in the sky that has no light from our view and light has not traveled to us from where the telescope took the picture that absolutely blows my mind.
@@coreinstincts2659 no, this is an image that was previously seen by the hubble telescope. If you do a quick Google there's a side by side comparison showing the imcreased resolution of the 2 images.
Worth all those years of work to get pictures like this. Congrats to all the scientists & engineers working to advance our knowledge. Amazing achievement!
After 2015-2021 convinced me that the United States was in irreparable decline into anti-intellectual madness, this renews my confidence that a glimmer of hope remains, thanks to the diligence of the scientific community.
I am amazed and blown away by the size of it all. I'm very grateful for everyone who worked on this project and the other great things done by NASA.
I have been waiting for this since the nineties documentaries about what will succed the hubble. Back then they said the are working in the stabilize technology that makes james Webb possible
I’m very excited to see what we can accomplish with this groundbreaking project

@@DavidMorrill Do pay attention. It detects near-infrared and mid-infrared, so to be palatable to the masses its then converted to how the eye likes to see things.

@@DavidMorrill Do you know if that meteorite did a lot of damage?

@@DavidMorrill just by cheer size, Webb's pictures should be better than Hubble's pictures, let alone all the other improvements done.
The details hide how the universe works, but of course, if you can't even realize that it'd be dumb of me to expect you to understand that.
bro just imagine how genius all the people who worked on the telescope are. Absolutely fascinating
Yeah....just imagine....
The James Webb had an original budget for 824 million dollars.
As of the launch date the cost was 11,000,000.000 11 billion dollars!
NASA hires a bunch of woke people and many are Affirmative Action. I know.
It appears that the Project director that was hired after the thing was al finished is most likely an Affirmative Action hire. He had nothing to do with the 30 year project and now when it is launched he is made the director? Haha! What a joke.
They say if you take a million monkeys typing away on typewriters one of them will produce a novel..
If you give a bunch of morons unlimited money they can accomplish anything including the James Webb.
This project was scheduled to launch in 2007! Here you have it. 14 years of delays and 10,000.000,000 over budget!
Look at that number! Elon Musk could put an entire colony on both the moon and Mars with that much money.
Ok....maybe a bit more but he could have done J.W for 1/10 what it cost NASA. Why? Because Elon only hires qualified people and NASA hires woke and Affirmative Action people. Smdh!
Geniuses? I have a 163 I.Q. as rated by the Stanford-Binet and I can tell you there are a lot less geniuses working at NASA then you might think.
Now in the 1950's and 60's is another story. They were bona fide geniuses. Today NASA is pretty much crap.
That is why Elon must will get us to the more for a fraction of what NASA can do it for.
If Elon had been tasked with the James Webb Then it would have come in close to budget and not 1000% higher!
Now there are people from all over the world who helped with the James Webb but I think America had the lions share and squandered the money like any government agency.
@@Heart2HeartBooks your comment made me chuckle.
Here is a perfect example of Geniuses that worked on the telescope. This is hilarious.
Then, an independent review in 2018 found that a handful of human errors had caused more delays and cost increases. The telescope’s propulsion valves were damaged when engineers used the wrong solvent to clean them. Dozens of screws that fastened the telescope’s massive sunshield came loose during vibration tests. And faulty wiring during tests sent excess voltage into the observatory’s transducers.
“The error should have been detected by the inspector, who did not inspect, but relied on the technician’s word that he had done the wiring correctly,” the 2018 report said.
Fears that the testing mishaps would lead NASA to breach its $8 billion development funding cap grew. The report said human errors cost the program $600 million and caused 18 months of delays. Then, in the summer, NASA announced a new date, acting on the report’s recommendations: Webb would launch on Mar. 30, 2021, Jim Bridenstine, President Trump’s NASA administrator, announced on Twitter.
@@Heart2HeartBooks Awww, did the poor little genius get told no by NASA? Is that why you're so mad?

This is a monumental leap forward for mankind. I am so grateful for all those hard working folks that help build this incredible telescope and for them to share their vision with the world thank you thank thank you!!
An actual monumental leap Forward for mankind would be too recognize that there's a God and that Yeshua is our Savior. It would be monumental for people to turn away from sins, and too the Grace of Yah, for people to make Yah first in their life. It would be, for scientists to admit (many already do) that their science proves that we weren't created by a big bang, but rather Yah. All evidence leads to Yah.. it's just that they keep trying to disprove his existence, instead of trying to prove his existence. What do you think would happen if all these atheists, agnostic scientist were to be actual scientist and seek the truth, Yah's existence instead of trying to disprove him, even though it's against what they've always believed? What would happen if they actually challenged their beliefs instead of trying to prove that their beliefs are the correct beliefs? We have tangible proof of Yeshua' existence and Yah's but we have ∅ proof their big bang THEORY is correct or even close to the truth. If they'd do the above and be actual scientist, they wouldn't totally disregard the proof against their beliefs, in fact they would embrace it bc science is supposed to be about truth and seeking it, not pushing weak theories on the masses. These scientists are bought a paid for. I'm sure even if some of them wanted to prove Yah's existence, their handler's wouldn't let them. It's probably why they don't highlight the scientific evidence proving we were created by a creator, we didn't happen by chance. Just looking at the human body proves a big bang couldn't cause such perfect and intricate creations. The probability of us being created by Yah is much higher than the probability of us being created by a big bang.. it's basically mathematically impossible but they keep trying to prove it anyway. I mean they can't fathom the existence of God so they do everything possible to disprove it even if it goes against everything they know like the science that's solid and MATH! Lol they're so arrogant that they're a walking hypocrisy.
@@mandielou this telescope was built specifically to find out what's at the beginning of everything, to see what we could only imagine and theorize up until now. So they're doing exactly what you propose, seeking the truth whatever it may be.
@@Rafael_R or it's fake, propaganda. CGI, now why would they release a fake photo if they really were after the truth?. Or why would photos of Mars turned out to be taken in the Devon Island? .

@@dadillonful educate yourself, you wouldn’t have a phone to even watch this on if they didn’t do things like this
@Smee Self the amount of technologies that were created and improved due to space exploration is huge.
All of the space discoveries have the potential to help us down here.
But even if that wasn't the case, even if that didn't help us here, even if it was something only to satisfy curiosity.
It's incredible that we, as a species, are able to get together and build such an amazing thing to explore the vastness of space, because yeah, we are eager to learn.
The same way we are capable of destroying, we are capable of doing amazing things like this. And that's incredible and should be the side of our species that we should cling on to.
The mentality of "but it doesn't help us here" is just people trying to be contrarians.

@@mis4nthr0p3 Yep, for sure. :)
There is an incredible amount of gravitational lensing present in this one picture. Really cool and exciting!
I'm guessing that we all were all immediately drawn to that colorful and wildly asymmetrical object that appears to be flowing over a brilliant white symmetrical one . . . (first find the big bright white six-pointed "starburst' and follow the 2 o'clock arm out from center). What's going on with THAT??!!!
@@psmith2234 I thought the same thing, im sure it Will be explained by people way smarter than us.
That makes me a little nervous tbh. We're looking for the first stars/galaxies but yet how much will gravity bend these first stars' light into an Einstein ring. This light has to travel 13.5/13.6 billion years through space.
@@psmith2234 As @Smee Self said, this is gravitational lensing. The symmetrical galaxy is a part of this large cluster of galaxies in the foreground. The red oblong object is actually a symmetrical galaxy whose light is distorted by the immense gravity of the cluster in the foreground. You can use "red-shift" to determine how far away a galaxy is. The more red the color, the farther away the object. So it makes sense that the white objects are unbent/symmetrical, and the red ones are bent and distorted. Gravity bends light, so it's like looking through coke-bottle glasses made for someone with way worse eyesight than you :)
@@MrBoDiggety I share your concern. Seems like it's going to be really hard to actually see these farthest-away galaxies due to the sheer number of massive gravitational objects in front of them. Sure, we can use software to correct the lensing, but that's really not straightforward. It's SO, SO difficult to actually tell how far away a given object is, especially deep space objects like galaxies. If we don't know how far away it is, we don't know how bright it actually is or how wide, and without knowing distance AND brightness, we can't estimate the mass of the galaxies. Without knowing the mass, we can't accurately estimate their gravity. So how do we know we're correcting the gravitational lensing correctly?

Such a shame that the video does not use metric units, EVERYONE at JWST, and every scientific organisation in the US and the rest of the world, does.
So exciting thank you and please keep sharing all new pictures and images.
This telescope is what basically has me getting out of bed in the morning…
wtf, it doesnt even exist
Looking back into deep time. Chill inducing.
@@coryleblancso what? You realize, Cory, that these telescopes are brilliant in design, but aren't much more complex than the smart phone you have in your hand, or the planes you take when u travel. It's simple design is what makes it so elegant, in fact. But, we all have something that drives us, right? Even the porn you watch is fake. Peace!
Love these images ❤️❤️ Thank you! Please keep them coming🤗🤗🤗
Daft picture. I get better with my SLR
@@guff9567 sour
@@guff9567 Run along, lil fella....
@@guff9567 Can you post the pix you took of light that's travelled 13.6 bly? I'd really like to see what you got using your SLR.
@@mis4nthr0p3 SLRs are dime a dozen
I just hope that when we find what we are looking for out there, that we can finally begin to treasure what we have and who we have on this mote of dust... and by default stop fighting, stop killing, stop robbing, stop harming each other or our planet... and let us begin to boldly go where Earth humans have not gone before... as a species of hope, of love, of peace, of humanhood and of respect for ALL life. May this be that first step into that world.
What an incredible achievement. Truly mind blowing. Awesome humans - everyone involved! All the flack America gets in the modern area - and look what she and her people can produce!!!
Amen. This should offer another lesson to us mere mortals:
Stop watching mainstream news, and just follow truths that cannot be refuted.
This is not an exclusively American project.
@@snail415 Amen to that.
It is amazing to be human ..this space in time could actually be repeated ...we have definitely evolved very fast in 100 years
Many laggards exist at the micro level. Q-anoners, fascists, gun worshippers, theocrats, and hybrids of some or all of the above.
@@mis4nthr0p3 good thing i like plants then lol
This looks like an Alex Ross painting - the details are stunning!
Yeh but made by a computer lol.
@@MadebyJimbob Nope, made by a telescope. Learn the difference.
The deepest infrared image ever taken, showing galaxies 4.6bn years ago and beyond. And this is essentially just a test image. Incredible
@John Smith How do you say your a Scientologist without saying your a Scientologist.
Congratulations, just amazing.
Wish the world would focus more on science then war, emotions and money....
Wow (I'm further into the vid)! This is mind boggling! This will provide answers to questions that haven't even been formulated. This is beyond anything I could ever imagine. I'm 68 years old, and in my lifetime I've seen the most incredible scientific leaps, but this blows my mind. INCREDIBLE. 😎
im so stoked!! that's so cool, im really looking forward to more of those discoveries😄
It’s exciting to see us evolving scientifically. We have access to state of the art technology both Terran and alien to some degree.
But most importantly we have the people. It’s them. Their passion and quests that open up the world to so much.
Yay the Tau Ri! (That’s us FYI).
There needs to be a new word invented to convey how awesome Webb is.
Wow just doesn't quite suffice.
Albert Einstein said 'Its wonderful time to be alive' in 1905, but 2022 JWST feels the same way.
Then came WWI, WWII, yada yada. Enjoy the here and now.
The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
Knowledge increases by sharing but not by saving.
Very, very talented people behind this project. People who are willing to share what they discover too.
Looking forward to years of images!
Cosmology has a nostalgic feeling ❤️
That's because the golden age of space is behind us. As Dr. Neil Degrass Tyson said, "we stopped dreaming"
@@bigbengamer Not any more. This kick starts dreaming back to life
@@TheVicar we shouldn't be trying to get back to the golden age. We should be starting our interplanetary renaissance
@@bigbengamer Indeed, and this will inject even more possibilities and desire into younger peoples' minds and attract them into cosmology and related industries.
A true positive within the everyday negative madness that flows around societies.
@@TheVicar Well said and hopefully conveyed.
This is so amazing I'm so stoked to see the awesome science this project allows.
@SM I see you have your situation well in hand.
Loved the cryopolishing explanation. I am sure that a number of innovations in building and operating this telescope will be useful
Honestly, it’s impressive this only cost 10 billion dollars…
Honestly Twitter is 44 billion dollars worth of bullshit is more significant to primate's these days...
That's same price as empty nord stream 2 pipeline between Russia and germany
It’s so elegant
@@SoulDelSol And its 5 times cheaper than the corrupt UK government gave away to their friends during the pandemic
That $10 billion was spent over a 30-year period for a telescope which is expected to have an operating life of at least 10 years.
$10 billion dollars - the US military burns through that much money *every five days.*
This telescope will hopefully improve the chances of us finding life outside our own solar system.
And if they are sentient we can eventually send ships across spacetime to meet them and convert them to worshipping our gawd (pick one) and murder those who reject our gawd-inspired beliefs, cuz that's how humans roll. Save the Cosmos: Chicxulub 2.0
Amazing simply amazing. It mind blowing something out of a Star Trek episode and more. I have always since a very young girl been fascinated by space and what’s out there. My ultimate dream was to become an astronaut or work at NASA. Never made it. Humans are evolving at a rapid rate. 👍👍
A NASA representative was on the news this morning and an interviewer was like, "James web, deep space, so what? What are the practical applications?" . . . Like a toddler who never wants to have a relationship with anyone but their mommy and daddy. There's a whole universe out there and NASA is providing us with a MOMENTOUS service.
Beyond stunning 🥰😍🤩😘 I'm actually surprised that never a straight answer would allow such a beautiful thing to be shown. The majority of the time they cut off the live feed.
I'm so stoked about this.
Can't wait to explore more of space with some of the greatest minds in our planet. Been aggressively patient about the James Web Scientific Telescope since I first heard about it.
Me too! I remember learning about it maybe 8 or 9 years ago and thinking "wait, don't we already have Hubble?" Then gradually learning just how much of a step forward this would be got so exciting. Honestly the fact it ever got finished and sent into space at all is a miracle, let alone the fact that it's working perfectly!
This is how we go from a planetary civilization to a solar system wide civilization. I am so excited to see what this telescope will produce.
We still fight over imaginary lines in the sand. We are doomed
@@mattcoffee1269 😆 🤣 😂
the discoveries the JWST will reveal excites and scares me at the same time. What a time to be alive!
Extremely appreciative and greatful for those scientists who give us James web telescope ❤️🔭
Infinite space is just a clever boundary created by the developers of this humankind simulation in which we are currently logged into. A lot of thought went into it.
Thank you to all the scientists and engineers who helped create this incredible instrument.
This is so exciting! As an amateur stargazer, I can't wait to see upcoming images. Kudos to all that made this possible!
I get excited when the paper airplane I spent 30 seconds making actually flies.
These men and woman must be so proud, well done.
Best Achievement in History.. So Brilliant!!. Milestone for humanity.
So it's literally a time machine traveling back in space time?
*Looking* back in time would be more accurate way of phrasing it. 😺
Being mostly an untrained observer who has followed space exploration for most of my life I am always stunned by the majesty of the cosmos. Telescopes are bringing images that were only imagined when I was young. Numbers just don't reflect the vastness of space until you get the actual images in your mind. The human sense of wonder I guess
Extraordinarias imágenes !! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Espero seguir viendo más y más espectaculares fotos de la maravillosa creación de Dios 🙏🏼 Amén
Wow 🤩 this is utterly amazing. What a great time to be alive. So much to be discovered…
Can't wait to see more things exploring by this scientific marvel . team wish u all the best.
