- The James Webb Space Telescope is a miracle of modern science and engineering. With a 21-foot, gold-coated mirror protected by a sunshield that's the size of a tennis court, it's the world's most powerful telescope and humanity's latest attempt to answer questions like: "Where did we come from?" and "Are we alone?" (It also needed to be folded up like origami in order to launch into space.) Nobel Laureate John C. Mather, the leader of the team at NASA that built the Webb, explains how the telescope will observe the first galaxies to form in the early universe, peer behind clouds of cosmic dust and gas to reveal stars being born and uncover new details about places like Europa and Titan, which could harbor life. "We're going to get a great surprise from this telescope," Mather says.

They dont talk about wars or competition...they want to discuss ideas and achievements..truly remarkable character.
These scientists are heroes of humanity
Heroes for what
@@hillalahmadzai9042 You wouldn't get it Orange forget about it.
You can't mention Science, scientific, or scientist to THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! 🤨🤨🤨🤫🤫🤫🤫
Yeah. You know, who needs free energy like Linden Switzerland. Or free food. Or removing fractional reserve lending stopping pollution rather than taxing carbon. Or drawing attention to the UVC situation. Yep these CGI videos are what we need. Such heroism. I am in awe by their humanitarianism. Just awe...
@@hillalahmadzai9042 indeed
The 'Deep Field View' taken with Hubble has to be one of the most awe inspiring images ever seen. All those galaxies! Just amazing.
And to think the James Webb telescope is 100x stronger than hubble is. We're going to see some crazy detailed things
ThErEs No Life OuT tHeRE!
Where's the New pictures? WHY he reference old
Have you seen the JWST inferred photo? It's 100 times more amazing than the Hubble pictures combine. Check it out when you have a chance 🙂
@@PrisonPlanett the telescope is still getting situated in its resting place, they predicted it was going to take atleast 6 months before we saw any photos yet they have still released some ahead of schedule. the photos it will create in its lifetime will change the world
I was lucky enough to be able to work on this project for a few years and I will always be proud of the contribution I made to one of the most amazing science projects conducted by the human race, lol. I did most of the testing and quality control of the materials that were used to make the frame that supports the hexagon panels and the instrumentation. It is made from lightweight carbon fiber prepreg tape that was very tightly controlled during production and I made sure that everything was done at the highest level of quality for that specific prepreg material. I love being able to share this with my kids and show them how amazing our scientists are and how they can help us to understand the whole universe.
Dope to see you smart crew in the comments!
Well done for your contribution to the project John :-)
Yeah but it ain’t millions of miles away ahahah fake cgi
@@lukamagnotta2155 "I don't understand" is not a good reason to call something fake.
thank you for your contribution in this amazing marvel and making humanity proud !
James Webb is this generations Hubble. And we all know how legendary Hubble is.
While certainly important, JWST (like all telescopes) only observe in a limited band of wavelengths. JWST is primarily an Infra-red detector... which is very useful, but leaves out a significant portion of the EM spectrum.
Hubble and James Web are two very different instruments, which are used for very different things. There are things that JWST can see that Hubble can't. And there are things that Hubble can see that JWST can't. In fact, Hubble remains the ONLY available instrument that can observe from near Infra-red, through visible light, into ultraviolet.
The next space telescope has been in development since 2016. The Nancy Grace Roman Telescope will launch in 2027. NGRST will be a widefield version of hubble and will see more sky in just a few months than hubble was able to in its entire 30 years of life.
And NGRST will have better spectrometers & coronagraphs than even JWST, by the way. And it will have extended near-IR capability, so it will be parked at L2 along with JWST.
@@beta_cygni1950 Wow thanks for that information! Just began reading about it!
Wow he is so good at explaining complex things with simple words 🤓
Cgi
So excited to see more scientific discoveries made with this telescope!! Good luck to the scientists conducting the research, we're all rooting for you!!!
I bet there are a few million individuals that would not root for progress…
@@santomkd Correction billions
@@santomkd what makes you say that?
I'm so happy JWST is functioning as designed, I couldn't wait another 25 years for another
John Mather. The legend. The underrated humble physicist.
da god…
Cgi
John Mather is cgi?
The James Webb Space telescope has some of the most Insane Engineering of our time. Looking forward to what it discovers.
Looking forward to looking back
@@bernadette9444 Very creative 😉
Makes me proud that I am working on the engineering for such telescopes
@@Hypervaluemarket oh sweet. What company do you work for? 🔭
@@CuriosityLounge L3Harris
0:00 the TED intro is very cool. i compliment whoever created it.
Loving the fact that TED is doing these amazing interviews
"Astronomers travel with the speed of light and the speed of imagination." I was deeply inspired by this. Would love to hear what they find!
When I get sad, I contemplate the fact that I was born into a generation that has seen more scientific advances than every other generation that came before me.
It truly is a "Glorious Dawn" for scientific discovery and I'm so grateful to exist as it unfolds!
On to Mars!!!
"We are a way for The Univese to know itself." CS
@@flourishingweee Don't worry... You know Elon certainly has a few "mad scientist labs" scattered here and there.
You KNOW he feels the same way and I bet he's got people working on digitizing a brain RIGHT NOW.
Or....
It already happened and we're just living out one of countless ancestor simulations. 😀
@@flourishingweee hopefully we'll be a space faring multi planetary civilization
Wow, incredible talk. Go Webb, futher than ever before
Wow incredible cgi than before ahahhaah
I have zero knowledge in Physics or Astronomy, however I greatly enjoy this talk. Seeing a scientist more than just talking and explaining, but also being so excited about a certain topic, it gives me life and faith in science.
These instruments are good for reminding how small the planet is in the grand scheme of things, and reducing egos of individual sentient people but the public doesn’t seem to bother
By public I mean anyone who isn't working on the project
"Astronomers travel with the speed of light and the speed of imagination"
John C. Mather
Well done! Amazing work by these scientists.
Amazing. To the point without wasting any time.
really enjoyed that! thank you!
I can't wait omg
Thank you, John C. Mather, for your hard work and dedication to progress in the scientific community! This was a great presentation.
TED, Ted Ed etc are the best things in CZcams.
I'd like to add arte and kurzgesagt :) ✌️
TED is great but sometimes i want just relax... When i watch TED i need to think...
If you didn't explored CZcams enough yes.
This is your opinion
@@omniyambot9876 i said etc.
I was at the Kennedy space center in 1995 when I was 9 years old and the tour guide told us the hubble had discovered conclusive evidence for super massive black holes. And they said they had an even better telescope in the works that would make the hubble look like our cameras. I'm 36 years old now, and she was speaking the truth. I can't wait to see the new discoveries.
This made me cry...
I could listen to him for forever
Speech was fire. Mans a legend.
Awesome presentation, thank you 🙏🏽
the fact that the launch was so perfect is a really big deal. gives us 10 more years of observation than what was considered likely.
Thanks guys. You are the giants future generations will stand upon!!
Much love and respect to all the JWST engineers
Science ( physics)+ Art ( origami) = Innovation
And Curiosity is our guide!!
Best update on James Webb yet
Your enthusiasm for this news is contagious and endearing.❤️
What an amazing project! and John Mather is a real life superhero.
He’s extremely smart and I’ve seen multiple videos with him in them, but he doesn’t explain things as clearly as some other scientists do
Can't wait to see what discoveries we make.
I can’t wait for the first few images
“When I was 6 my dad told me I’m made out of tiny cells filled with chromosomes that would control my fate, I thought that was amazing” honestly I have no idea what to say anymore
Some of the NASA vids detail the incredible engineering and numerous partners that contributed to Webbs development and deploy. Another huge moment for humanity wrapped in many many years of dedicated research and work. Great talk.
Satan is deceiving you with cgi
@@lukamagnotta2155 Lol, no. You're the one who's been deceived by not admitting to factual info.
@@beta_cygni1950 who filmed it opening ? 🤣
This was really interesting 🙏
This is my one of the most favourite video on CZcams ❤️❤️
Oh yeah baby!!! I was really waiting for this one!!!
It is so amazing the accomplishments we've made in space since I was born in 1980. Even as a teenager I could never imagine seeing the surface of other planets in 4k uhd. Whata time to be alive. Beside our politicians being so immature
Epic, great time to be alive.
Not so for those in war torn and fmaine infested countries...
This is so exciting. I felt like a child as I listened him speak. Absolutely loved the closing remarks: Astronomers travel with the speed of light and the speed of imagination.
Unbelievable
Seeing this is amazing
Nice to see u here c:
Dr. John thank you very much
Excited for future :)
This is so wonderful.
Science rules!
this is legit! another huge step forward for a huge scientific discovery.
He is the grandpa of James Webb telescope, right under James himself. Much respect John C. Mather. Hoping for the best sir!
I love this dude!
Looking forward to see what can that thing do
Fine video, sir. 👍🏾👍🏾
I can’t get over how much the telescope looks like a golden orb weaver
This is the beginning of something big
That fact about the bumblebee blew my mind
Yay! Power of science and imagination.
Love this.
Awesome!
I like how he refers to all of his colleagues as his friends. This is the way.
This is a good one
Something so amazing to look forward too!
I'm more interested in the observation of extraterrestrial planets and black hole jets. Looking forward to what they can discover.
_Cosmic Legends!_
Wow this is just amazing! What a great time to be alive! I hope I live to see if there are other life forms outside of our home.
It's just us, it's fun to pretend though!
@stargazer 1001 • I am in total agreement with you! I believe that humanity will find extraterrestrial life within our solar system.
@@OregonCrow how did you come to this conclusion?
@@travisjthompson2 All this time no signals, visits or even findings in deep space using telescopes. Zilch out there, notta drop of life.
People probably felt that way back in the renaissance.... the fact of life is that science and technology will increase without any major cataclysmic events
Thank you!
Amazing
Can't wait!
This man is a great teacher lol I could’ve listened to him for hours. Excited to see what comes from the research 👽 🖖🏿
What do you mean? He can barely read the script. He’s a terrible actor.
Did you not notice all the images they show as proof is CGI? not real photos or videos. It’s all computer generated images…
@@lukamagnotta2155 Go watch the thousands of hours of it being designed/assembled/tested, which was a joint project between many countries.
You a flat earther too?
@@njones420 what go watch cgi? No thanks
@@lukamagnotta2155 no, VIDEO of it being assembled/tested/launched
@@njones420 and you think that’s real? They have you hooked hahahaha wake up to the deception before it’s too late
The Universe is magical. In 20 years The JWST will have answered many unanswered questions, yet there will still be far more that we don't know than there will be that we do know.
That thing is basically a time machine!!!
Can't wait for the first images😍
Thank you.
Fantastic
I love watching YT videos about the universe. I've downloaded about 110GB of videos, which I watch every night.
The JWST is gonna revolutionize astronomy just like Albert Einstein did with his Theory Of Special Relativity.
We're in for some awesome space pictures and videos. I can hardly wait.
Not saying that JWST won't be important (I think it will be). But I would argue that it will be more impactful for astrophysics than for astronomy.
I would argue that the Gaia Observatory has done more to revolutionize the field of astronomy, and may be the most important instrument for that (yes, even more important than Hubble or JWST).
@@beta_cygni1950 I understand what you're saying. Each satellite was designed with a particular purpose, so they each function differently. However, when data from all them are combined, the end result is nothing short of extraordinary.
thanks
great education
Lucky to be in this time
Any further updates on when we might be getting fully focused pictures from Webb? Also, “no bumblebees in space” is news of epic proportion. 🐝
It's fully focused now, science observations should start in June.
Titan gives mo hope
Legends
Very cool
Awesome
إنَّ الله سبحانه جعل الصّوم مضمارًا لعباده ليستبقوا الخيرات ويتقرّبوا إلى طاعته، وقد فرضه علينا كما فرضه على الأمم السابقة.
ومما قيل في الصيام من الغرب أنه علاجٌ لأمراض كثيرة منها الصداع ومرض ضغط الدم، فكل إنسان وإن لم يكن مريضاً محتاج له لأن سموم الأغذية تجتمع في الجسم فتجعله كالمريض وتُثقِله ويقل نشاطه، فإذا صام خف وزنه وتحللت هذه السموم من جسمه وذهبت عنه حتى يصفو صفاءً تاماً.
مَن صامَ يَوْمًا في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ، بَعَّدَ اللَّهُ وجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا، فكيف بالفريضة.❤
This guy is a noble laureate and still speaks clearly in english for us to understand. If I was him I'd be gone quantum mechanics in the eighth second.
Respect humble, and funny that you use even bumblebee to scale than that of metric.
I can't wait >
Amazing! Super interesting 🙏🏻✨
A lot like the one from the Three Body Problem books by Cixin Liu
I hope we see unnatural light from the dark side of an Earth sized exoplanet, instant proof of alien intelligence👽
Space is the place
absolutely excited about what and who (possibly) we will find. however, lately i have started to wonder if the jwst will be our debut on the universal stage OR have we found our "great filter"? what i mean by that is what if a sentient tech advanced race or civilization now knows that we know they are "there"? what does that mean for us who are no where near (what we describe as) "type I"?
I have heard the theories of type 1 2 3 4 and 5 civilizations. It is an interesting thought. Harnessing the full power of our own planet or the sun would be awesome. If done safely. I do not know though
How would another civilization “know we know they’re there”?. Remember, light has a speed limit. And try as we may, there’s actually a limit to how precisely we can see distant objects. We can infer the existence of another planet with life or even a civilization, but lack the detail to make out even whole continents on those planets. It may be possible using gravitational lensing or some yet unknown technology to make out vague details of exoplanets. But I fear the technology to *see* a telescope in space from as far away as the stars may never exist. And if it did, we should be equally concerned every time a new tennis court is built here on Earth, because that’s about how noticeable James Webb will be. Maybe even less. You may be underestimating how large the universe is and how many billions of bright, telescope-sized objects we have around our own star, much less all the other stars. An alien civilization will notice us in other much more obvious ways. The spectral data from our planets atmosphere. The color of earth. Etc etc.
Don’t worry, and to be honest my friend, keep asking questions because you seem in need of many more answers before you can make your own assumptions about the universe. It’s way beyond yours and my conceptions
We know already all of this information. give us latest update and new information and what new picture capture taken
I love science
Awesome 😎
Tiny humans creating crazy things. Amazing brains.
I'm think about the future of science after 500 Years later.
