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.
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.
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.
Worth all those years of work to get pictures like this. Congrats to all the scientists & engineers working to advance our knowledge. Amazing achievement!
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?..
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
This is a part of history. I’m glad to have been alive while this discovery occurred.
Mindblowing how this has been created! I mean to polish it in a ''wrong'' way just so it bends back into perfection at cold temperatures is amazing!
Did it just happen as is purposed of the universe and life itself?
Or was it designed
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.
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!

This is one of the greatest scientific achievements in human history.
No, not at all.
@@soisaidtogod4248 yes, yes it is.
@@soisaidtogod4248 which achievements are greater?
@@Rafael_R Um, let me see, well, to start how about half the time it took to build this telescope, we figured out how to send humans to the moon, land on it, walk on it, take off from it and return to earth safely. And we did it 6 out of 7 tries with one blowing up on the way there and still got them back safely. How about a space ship that takes off as a rocket, goes into orbit and then lands like an airplane? How about flying a probe to a planet the size of our moon that’s 3 billion miles away to within a few thousand miles of it? How about Newtons laws of motion? It better see a planet with people sitting on a beach waving at us if it’s gonna beat out one’s like that and more.
@@soisaidtogod4248 It’s not even close.
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

@@lebronjamesharden3958 that's just the first picture
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?
@@Heart2HeartBooks D*CK RIDAAAAAAAAAA
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 tearing up watching this.....I first learned about Webb just over a decade ago.... and now here we are. Just incredible work by incredible minds
You can see how happy the people are in this video. Its going to result in a huge amount of new data and amazing discoveries

As everyone is saying, first thing I noticed, the amount of gravitational lensing is unbelievable...
Predicted by Sir Albert Einstein just by his theory, at the time when no one can even think about it.

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? . I hope you still don't believe we really went to the moon in 1969. Btw there's a video out there how they filmed and faked everything...and it's a long one.
And I'm not even a conspiracy type of person.
@Amanda Peterson If you you have tangible proof of Yeh, I’d love to see it.

We will be extinct 30,000 years from now.
And then we have a President that doesn't recognize himself in a mirror

@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.

The first time I got Saturn in my eyepiece I was overcome by some kind of this ancient, overwhelming awe. And I've felt some version of that every time since. You can understand how early humans might have sought to explain these powerful feelings with stories and myths. The feelings are so pure you instantly feel connected to something large and magnificent.
Loved the cryopolishing explanation. I am sure that a number of innovations in building and operating this telescope will be useful
So excited for the rest of the images to be released today...
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?
The bees gave us the hexagon, and nothing has been the same ever since.

@194M views ohhhhhhhhhhh 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks bees 😘
At least we still got wasps.
Theirs still something else for them to give you.. humans will be shocked when they realize it's been right in front of their face the whole time
Absolutely amazing !
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.
All I can type is kudos to each and every individual who worked on this project. Long live Science!
I'm so stoked about this.
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.
Absolutely amazing.
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.
Mind blowing to say the least this image is awe inspiring, we are lucky to be alive and able to see this
Just imagine when aliens are ready to make contact. We will be dead by then
@@diegomorata2885 What if _we_ are the aliens and we make contact with others? :)
@@diegomorata2885 they already here
Extraordinary!
Wish yall could go back 10 years and show me my love ones again. If going back in time ia real 😶🌫️
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.
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
My whole being is very happy to see these new images from JWST. Im thrilled that its almost giving me an unexplainable chills! ive always wanted to be a scientist and an astronaut but life doesn't always happen as we want it specially when your living in a third world country. But still congrats to Humanity for a very amazing breakthrough!
Damn, science can be truly awesome. Congratulations to everyone that's worked and its working on this, you are all literally advancing the progress of human civilisation.
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. 👍👍
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).
Extremely appreciative and greatful for those scientists who give us James web telescope ❤️🔭
Oh Amazing...watching from Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean 🇹🇹
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!
There needs to be a new word invented to convey how awesome Webb is.
Wow just doesn't quite suffice.
thank you for the explanation god bless you
this is so amazing !!!! I LOVE THE UNIVERSE
This is so exciting! As an amateur stargazer, I can't wait to see upcoming images. Kudos to all that made this possible!
Wow incredible! Looks like tons of gravitational lensing in the photo
Keep us all updated!!
Thank you for the great scientific work.
The same species that created this amazing telescope, is the same species that can't parallel park a car.
Different skill set.
@@mis4nthr0p3 Yep, for sure. :)
