We are at a stage of human history where planetary wide, (seemingly) instant, transfer of information has only just become the norm. We possess objects in our pockets that can provide for us things our ancestors could never have dreamed of - ordering food by app to be delivered in less than half an hour, listening to any song ever recorded, using it as a torch (!).
      All of these innovations are less than a generation old. Consider what we are a part of in our lifetimes, simply by existing? A time period that will be remembered until, and maybe beyond, the extinction of homo sapiens? This gloomy winter seems more manageable in that perspective.

    The concept of “cosmic noon” is so spiritually evocative to me. The idea that the period of star formation in the universe is already in the downswing, that we live in a “cosmic evening” is so melancholic and beautiful. But it also puts everything into perspectives. By most models the universe is still in its infancy, so you could say that star formation in general is just a brief stage in the ultimately much longer and vastly different lifetime of the universe.

We need to come to Our savior...His name is Jesus.

    I don't think most people are aware of or comprehend just how incredible an engineering and scientific achievement that instruments like JWST and Hubble really are. Popular culture isn't particularly clued into subtle scientific issues generally, but I think we could do better as a society in helping to celebrate the true scale of achievement that these instruments represent. It's very hard to equate human achievements and the relatively worth and value of these achievements when they are in distinct fields. I mean, I've often wondered how we would try to 'sell' the magnificence and value to human knowledge that someone like Einstein and relativity represent when compared to say; elite sportspeople like Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps or Tiger Woods, etc. I mean, IS there any common ground we can find to accord some relative or objective value these people and their works provide to humanity? I guess it comes down to what we value as a society and what we are trying to achieve. In that sense, I think there's never going to be a proper objective measure - we're talking about things like entertainment, pride, aspiration to better ourselves and our physical attributes and skills versus more abstract values and properties like the accumulation of knowledge, the enrichment of 'Encyclopedia Galactica', hell perhaps even increasing our chances of surviving cosmic or planetary calamity and spreading this phenomena of life elsewhere.

    I really appreciate how you always tell us a statement and then explain how/why we know it e.g. how scientists figured out the little red galaxy is the oldest we've seen so far. it sounds simple but not everyone takes the time to give even a small explanation of the science behind things like that! my understanding of astronomy is very limited so the little explanations that are probably obvious to a lot of people are very much appreciated by me 😂 you're doing fantastic work educating & engaging people with your videos! thank you Astrum!

    For about a year now, i've been watching youtube videos about astronomy almost everyday. I'm going to buy a telescope and hopefully i can learn about astronomy more and more. I was an awful student, even when i tried, the information that was given to me didn't really stick in my head and i always had bad grades. I gave up on school and started working, since physically i'm a very good worker. But if there is one thing in my lifetime i want to learn as much as possible, it's astronomy. This is just amazing!

      This is part of the Kardashev scale.
      We, as a collective intelligent civilization, need to overcome our political differences. Think about 50K years ago. We colonized. We found power in groups and consumed power. We looked at our neighbors and they had something we wanted. We learned that if we attacked and killed them with rocks, and then missiles, we can take what we need to grow and be more strong. In time we learned that we could instead trade resources instead of killing. And we do this today. We have what is on our shelves, in the stores, from another country, and a another individuals work.
      But we still killed our follow man to take that they have (politics). So our people can expand and survive. The strong still try to kill the weak to take. Or at least control. We are still 50K in our past. The only thing that has changed is the size of the rocks. We have science. We have Carrier groups. We have bombers. We have subs to sneak in. We have huge amount of well train troops that know how to kill. Who has more strong, NATO? Is Russians wrong. Nope. Putin is wrong to try to take from a weaker nation. But this is war games.
      To your point. We all must accept our follow man. And look at them as human. Get over our political differences. If you have then help those that do not. That is the start.
      The solution to this war is simple. Help Russian citizens. Many went to Kazakhstan, Serbia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Georgia, and Finland. Let them know we love them too?

    I recall an interview with someone from NASA who clarified that the 12.5 hours for the Webb about the deep field image was the total exposure time from two of Webb's instruments observing simultaneously, and so it really took 6.25 hours to create the image. Don't quote me on that - I haven't been able to find anything about this anywhere online, and even NASA's own description of the image on their website only mentions NIRCam. I wish I remembered where exactly I heard it (I swear it was an official interview), but it's possible I'm misremembering something or the person being interviewed was mistaken.
