- It’s Not Just a Star! What Is In The James Webb Telescope First Images?
► Subscribe: goo.gl/r5jd1F
This is the first photo taken by a device worth 10 billion dollars! That's right, it was made by the James Webb Space Telescope, which is now one and a half million kilometers or about 930 million miles away from the Earth. Thousands of scientists around the world were waiting for this photo for a quarter of a century. At first glance, there’s nothing intriguing about it, but it’s actually as significant as Neil Armstrong's first step on the surface of the moon!
So what’s so special about it? And what does it show?

It's not fully calibrated, so it's mighty impressive that they took this photo so the best is yet to come.
This picture is three months old.
And the camera used to capture the IR is the latest of its kind… it’s like comparing iPhone 13 pro to old Nokia 👀
is this channel really reliable and secure to believe?
@@KentonJoseph two months old to be precise, but agreed, this story is old news and just a rehash of what's already been done by everyone else. Destiny is pretty average at best
@@Aiko-ik5tg Yes it is a legit channel
Voiceover error: It's 932 thousand miles from Earth not 932 million miles from Earth that distance would put JW out to nearly the orbit of Saturn!
I came here to say the same 👊😂
exactly!! I was like " but the Sun is 93 million away right?"... had to Google it real fast...
932 million miles wouldn’t that take decades to reach ?
Glad I didn't have to say it 😄😄
It's not even that far.
It's 1,000,000 KILOMETERS, which is approximately 621,000 miles, not 932,000!
I am still constantly amazed by the level of engineering that has gone into this project. The skill & intelligence required to achieve something this complex boggles the mind.
Humans are incredible if we combine all our efforts for one big cause or motive
I guess it is probably not possible. Everything required to "see" the big bang was created after the big bang occurred - including time. The formula of "distance equals past" is also only valid up to a certain distance as space itself expanded as a result of the big bang - this is why the universe is much bigger (est. 93 billion ly diamater) than its age (est 13.8 billion years).
@@torytrae1974 Any source or something you have I wanna know more about this , very interesting
I wish we could invest more into space science and engineering. We need to be a space-faring species to survive. Though we developed a lot of incredible engineering for military purposes, we’re getting closer to destroying ourselves. In the 21st Century, I can’t believe a country is trying to forcibly annex another country for resource purposes when we have all the metallic material we need in asteroids. Just one asteroid has several quadrillion dollars worth of material.

James webb is a masterpiece not even fully calibrated yet, so we can expect even more incredible images in the future

Saw this in person being built a few short years ago, at Northrop Grumman in Torrance, CA. I thought about all the intellectual manpower that went into this and told myself ,one day we get to see deeper into the universe and know more about history. Its a very beautiful experience for mankind.
are there long years im unaware of
edit: thats a stupid question i just remembered that 2020 was a thing
I saw it too! I don't know exactly where it was, but it was very close to Los Angeles, in 2019 I believe. I don't think it was open to the public, and I got in using family connections (my mom's friend's friend's husband was part of the project)
It was so giant... And you would have never suspected what the building it was in contained, it was just a large square building with some numbering on it
@@lepperkin exactly! I was a guest touring the whole place. They had jet fighters too . I saw the Webb through a window looking down about two stories up. It blew my mind . They requested my driver’s license a couple of weeks earlier to clear me. I went through a family member.
When I went into the lobby, which had model air planes etc… hanging from the ceiling, I took pictures of them … about ten seconds later two guys approached me and had me delete the pictures I took ,right in front of them! It was just the lobby ! Very strict and understandable.
This is phenomenal! The accuracy from this Telescope and also the fact that we can also observe the Galaxies which formed some 13.5 billion years ago is outstanding!
This photo was sent back and in the news weeks ago, little late to the party eh
But if you can not view the whole universe, then how can you claim the whole universe is 13.5 billion years old?
What if the is more outside of our range of sight.. which there is for sure, most of it actually.
I'd rather not see scientist make such bold claims, it's like being zoomed in one billions times on an organism and trying to determine what it is and beyond that how old it is, there is no genome we can decipher as we know it when looking at the universe so don't even try to use that as an argument.
Let's just say that we are trying to find out instead of claiming to know something as fact so soon in our development as a species.

It's amazing what the human being can achieve, imagine all those dedicated scientists who work for the arms industry. In my opinion, if they work together to develop marvels like this telescope, we would already be living on one of the nearby planets in our system.

No, we need to focus on pumping oil out of the ground to burn it 👍 ape stronk together
Maybe but you can’t force people to work on what they don’t want to. The scientists have the right to work on what they want.
@@Techaro Really? Most people work on what they don't want to work on. It's not just a matter of choice but of necessity. And that has to change if we are to progress as a civilization. We could then tackle many other pressing issues that are currently relegated to the back burner such as the climate crisis, health care, education, etc.
@@Techaro majority works what they don’t want to, and not only that, but part of those jobs doesn’t even bring progress to humanity, only mindless consumerism.
Absolutely incredible, can’t wait to see future discoveries.
Amazing
What’s incredible? We still get back far away images . I might as well look at the moon and still don’t see the surface .
@@godark8332 Your ignorance is showing.
@@godark8332 New things are always out of reach. We will discover something new that might change our understanding in physics and chemistry.
can't wait for it to reach its max potential, the infrared picture was so detailed! Cant wait to see what else pops up!
These images were made in January, the team has published more since then. This video is 4 months late.
Lmaooo
Thanks, I kept waiting for something besides that first image.
Lol
Thanks for sharing, gonna look it up. How a late video enabled your timely comment.
But this isn't CNN.
Wow that sounds incredible having a telescope that could see so far into the past that you could literally see the big bang happen you just can't imagine it being possible but could genuinely be possible
unpopular opinion: humanity is awsome
@@Nell_Hell unpopular revision: humanity’s achievements are awesome*** humans as a collective suck. My reasoning? Because throughout history we may have achieved great things in the name of science, yet achieved awful things in the name of humanitarianism. One thing we’ve always had, WAR!
It’s not possible, we can only see to about 300,000 years after the Big Bang. Before that point in time, the universe was too hot to allow photons of light to travel through space. Since photons couldn’t travel through space, there is no light from before that point in time. And since there is no light, we cannot see it.
That’s not possible. The Big Bang isn’t something you could ever possibly see. We’ll be able to see about 250 million years after the big bang which is when (we think) the first sources of light started to form. But… we have no idea what the first sources of light looked like or when they formed and we will find out soon enough.
you mean the theory being proven, it seems more and more unlikely but that the fun of science, the surprises that we discover when we are on the journey.
It's so sad if you consider the most expensive space telescope ever built is still just a fraction of the budged we spend on killing each other.
Last info I got is that all instrumentation was up and running and fully aligned. They were running all the pics through the instrumentation. They prob have minor testing of latest instruments but It's ready to do some science ish. I'm impressed by it's clarity. We are going to see stuff that's amazing. Further back in time than we have ever before.
I am really excited to see what this thing can do when it’s fully running
Can’t wait to see more. Ushering in a new era of outer space exploration.
So, in kilometers, the JWST is around the L2 point for the Earth-Sun gravitational pair, but in miles, it's more than 10x farther away from Earth than the sun is! Truly a marvel of modern engineering.
Respectfully, It is my understanding that the J.W orbits the sun, along with the Earth, at 1,000,000 miles from the Earth it's self. I don't think it could be 10 times farther from the Earth than the Sun is. That would be 930,000,000 miles, or so. If the narrator made that mistaken statement, I missed it, but it is entirely possible that he did.
@@wmden1 He definitely made that mistake. 0:14
@@wmden1 he said 930 million pretty sure he meant 930 thousand since thats what it said on the screen
I was looking for this comment lol
I thought i was trippin when i first heard him say it, i had to rewind.
He's talking nonsense or a very absurd mistake, sun is roughly 93 million miles away so it would be ten times the distance at 930 million .. 😅😂🤣
This is very interestingly informative. Thank you Destiny
Good to see a project that benefit's all.Looking forward to what we get to see.
This is somewhat misleading as it is _not_ the "first image" we have been waiting for as part of it's operational program - it's just an alignment image taken of a known star very close (relatively speaking) in our own galaxy. When it has finally been properly calibrated - which will not be until everything has reached the operating temperatures of only a few degrees above absolute zero - it will finally be ready to really get the image(s) we've all been waiting for.
That does make sense👍
ok
Webb is fully calibrated and it's instruments are fully cooled to operating temperatures now.
@@Mr.Snow12 JWST has not at this time reached it's operational parameters. That is why we are only seeing an image of a local star - it has been used for alignment purposes.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 yes that's correct, however, that has been completed some time ago. Check out 'Launch Pad Astronomy' channel for the latest and most accurate channel on James webb than you'll see
Such an under rated channel, Deserves more subscriber's
Amazing 👏 Can't wait for the future 🙌
It's mind boggling to see the knowledge required to design this telescope. I am amazed. It's also difficult do understand all the details. Fantastic video. Show us our ignorance about the birth of life.
Excellent content, very nice indeed 👏
James Webb Space Telescope is amazing and these images too. 😆

Good capture! Thanks James Webb. Impressive
First Proper image from James Webb should be of Earth.

It can’t legally look at Earth…plus Earth is really too bright.
@@jaybee9269 Please explain the legal part?

Thousands…..millions…….bout as accurate as carbon dating
@@1jw298 Sorry you were dropped. :(
Simply Amazing!!! Than You, all guys!
Wow, that was extraordinary! Thanks for the video, that was professional. Best wishes ❤❤❤
The fact that we can do this but haven’t even explored our own ocean yet
Can you try to check every ocean on every planet tho
This is easier than exploring the ocean. One telescope can view the entire sky. To view our entire ocean floor, you need 300 survey ships working for 10 years; and that's just a sonar survey.
We have, its just empty
What could really be discovered from the ocean that would be revolutionary though? More weird fish? I guess maybe some crazy super volcano or something, could be important. But this seems to by far have more of a chance to have a revolutionary impact.
lia u go explore the ocean no one stopping u big bru
"First images"
I have no words other than this is simply awe inspiring.
Good work, respect
JWST's distance from earth is 9 hundred something thousand miles not million miles
6:29 I want the story on the perfect star toward the left here. It's nearly overshadowing the one next to it.
After completing the phd from big bang university they attain this shape
Marvelous creation. Waiting to see a lot more wonders revealed.
Awesome video, love your voice.
Great video. Ive been obsessing over the JWST for a while now even before it was launched. Its been a long wait for me. My only nitpic about the video is that you animation doesnt show the correct orbit that the webb takes at L2. It doesnt orbit earth. Its in its own orbit that keeps the earth between it and the sun.
As a retired precision engineer, I'm in awe of the fact that these guys can make things move in nanometers, what sort of system can make such tiny adjustments? It's way beyond my skill and knowledge. Anybody know? Maybe worth a short video.
Probably used light to measure. I think LIGO uses lasers to to measure sensitive movements. There are two on earth and they have already proven that gravitational waves are in deed a thing lol. I'd suggest asking Google though to fact check this, or just research it by other means
@@twiztidrebel69 thanks for reply, although it wasn't so much the measurement (which is still amazing!) I was more interested in the method of physically moving such tiny amounts.
I'm curious about protection. It's so fragile and precise, what countermeasures are in place to protect it from space rocks or something hitting it?
@@ytninick it can't be protected, one of the mirrors has already been hit.
There's so much beauty i can hardly take it.
Finally i waited soooo long!!!!!!
Ok, there's hundreds of these videos on CZcams now showing same picture of a star from JWST over and over yet saying "new pictures emerge" ...no it's not new. This thing is still fine tuning and calibrating. Just chill out and wait.
I don't think the government will disclose anything if they find something remarkable i.e. life
Maybe if it was something they thought could cause mass fear and hysteria they may stay silent. I could definitely see a lot of people freaking out and crying doomsday if another advanced civilization were to be found.
@@isee1158 exactly 💯
Exciting times ahead!
This video is exactly what I wanted to watch thank you
Shocking. Terrifying even.
Imagine if all the trillions spent on war and shit was put into space exploration and stuff like that
That’s what I always think about
This.. is… astoundingly exciting.
AMAZING!
930 million miles away?? Close enough for government work...
That was wrong. Should have been 930 thousand
I would like them to be able to discover city lights on exoplanets and zoom in on what many scientists consider to be a Dyson Sphere many light years away.
There is possibility of Dyson sphere light years away? No shit . Those civilizations would have already contacted us if they were capable of Dyson sphere
Not going to happen.
Dude if we found a dysonsphere the entire fucking earth would lose its mind lol hope we find one tho. Would instantly be mankind’s greatest discovery
I have been waiting on the news on this thing for a while
About time they share with us real video/photo footage. How about turning the telescope back and show us a couple photo/video footage of the Earth?
Thanks to all who are responsible. We live in wonderful times .
wonderful times? lol
I have difficulty believing they were unable to span the final 2% of our universe. I suspect they would rather keep it "under wraps" for a number of reasons. One being, knowledge of what lies beyond might be just to fantastical to grasp.
Here comes the conspiracies 🧐. It's always the same with you human beings smfh
10 billion dollars and twenty five years and they came up short. Really?
Even during ww3 and post ww3, we will still be amazed with webb's discoveries. 😀
It's such a bittersweet thing in my opinion, absolutely incredible what humans are doing in pioneering the next stages of cosmic exploration, but so much of this effort should be placed in trying to save the planet we already have
There is plenty of money from other places to spare, yet people always get mad at Nasa for trying to advance our technology and understanding.
The technology to save our planet is already in existence. It's all about political will and money to get it done
How large does the Earth appear from the distance which the JWST was placed? Would it look like the moon looks to us even directly above?
It would look like star at night
@@smike3833 A pale blue star! I would have thought it would look a little bigger based on Mars and Venus looking like very bright stars in the sky.

Physic never fails to blow my mind.
I hate to ask such questions, but how far away can the craft be before it can't send us a photo? How does it even transmit the distance, and how long does it take for it to get to us?
Good questions.

Correction to the video: James Webb is NOT 930 million miles away from the Earth as stated by the narrator, its 1 million miles away from the Earth.
Yeah that’s crazy I was looking for comments to confirm.
The James Webb telescope was launched to collect data and not to take beautiful pictures.
People that want "impressive pictures" are missing the point of the whole matter.
@m_train1 No.
m_train1 thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
@m_train1 No its main mission is not our solar system. They literally made it so it could see FARTHER than hubble and look at distant galaxies. The whole reason it can see in infrared is to be able to see through dust clouds outside the solar system. Here's what it says from the website:
"The James Webb Space Telescope will find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe and peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems. Learn more from the mission's project website."
Thats found on the front page. Try again.
What an amazing accomplishment.
🤗🔥🔥🔥 I can't wait to see what else this telescope is going to show us
Is it really actually possible to see the formation of of the first galaxy and formation of universe?🤔
I mean technically yes that's what it is but still it's hard to believe that.
If you understand how it works, it makes sense.
You see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago, because it takes light that long to get to the earth. 1 year of light traveling is 1 light year, So you would be seeing things as it was 1 year ago. Something 1 billion years away, takes light 1 billion years to reach us, so we see it as it was 1 billion years ago. Hope that helps.
@@BillMan2002 Thanks for the explanation , I kinda knew this but you know it's still hard to believe it 😅 that you can actually look into past .

That won’t happen
@@sexyalien806 maybe they could still be a chance to finding intelligent life on another planet there certainly isn't any in Washington right now
I swear i made the exact same picture back in the 80s with my cheap Polaroid camera. Used the optional Starburst lens. Should have kept it to sell for 10 billion dollars. 😊
Wonderful!
We might eventually figure out our almighty universe in just a short period of time with this amazing piece developed
This is mind blowing. Can't wait to hear about the incredible discoveries this work of art will capture.
A photo that captured a galaxy 5 BILLION light-years away in the background?? That is beyond mind blowing... Knowing it was just a test photo too. The fact that the human race created something capable of seeing that far into the universe is just insane.
Granted there are billions of stars in our galaxy alone I don't feel any should be called "unremarkable". Everything in our universe is pretty remarkable and being we can now observe so far back in time it will hopefully answer some remarkable questions that otherwise would have went unanswered. What is most remarkable is what we have been able to achieve via science in such a relatively short time span. The best is yet to come if we don't screw up humanity with political and superstitious nonsense.
AWESOME! FInally!!
Too bad the first peeps in my feed to post on it is this ridiculous channel....
Did it see any "POSSIBLE ALIEN STRUCTURES"???
....lmao
Wow this telescope is very intriguing!
And now a few days ago it made some remarkable discoveries !!
How can they see stars light years away but can’t see the ground of every planet in our solar system? Is it only due to light and not distance? I’ve seen videos where scientists have seen other planets in other galaxies but we still have to manually send devices to each planet to get good quality pictures. I’m thinking if it can zoom in that far we should be able to see an ant on every planet here without traveling to it
I don't know much but i think it's detecting heat and that's how they know.
Stars are large and produce a lot of light. Stars are visible to telescopes even if their apparent size is smaller than a pixel in the telescope's instruments. To image the surface of a planet, you have to resolve it, with the planet spanning multiple pixels. JWST can create an image of Mars that's 1000 px wide, or 1 km/pixel, that's about the best we can do at the moment. A probe sent to orbit Mars can take images with a resolution of 1 meter/pixel.
Yes it's about light and infra-red has the longest wave length so it's easier to see from a long distance but isn't visible to the naked eye, hence the special infra-red camera. Planets don't emit light so that's why its harder to see them and you have to wait for the orbits to move things into place so that the sun light is reflecting off the planet you want to view and back to the telescope.
Amazing, the first photo of this telescope is comparable to the star-effect I used in my Samsung Galaxy S3 back then.
Remarkable!
I'm just so excited
That is one of the coolest mankind has come up with
Eeeeek!!! I want to jump about ten years just to see everything JWT discovered!!!!
This might be the most positiv event we have these days. I'm so excited...
