Infant Galaxies to Alien Atmospheres: NASA's Next Huge Telescope | Amber Straughn | TEDxACU

[@maribelcosta]

Just saw her speak at Johns Hopkins University tonight. She was wonderful. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

[@deeremeyer1749]

Hopefully she isn't a Typhoid Mary of that "contagious enthusiasm" some would call "stupidity".

[@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS]

FuriousMB this woman doesn't know basic things ! Copernicus was the one who discovered that the Earth is not the center of the universe and not Galileo as she said

[@lamppost9502]

@@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS 1. She could have made a mistake. 2. If she did think that all she needs to be is corrected. 3.Are u an astronomer also? Because it seems like with the knowledge you can search up on google you think you can say she doesn’t know basic things. Stop trying to think you’re better than an actual astronomer. To become an astronomer they put in a lot of work 4. If you are an astronomer you should know better.

Well done Amber! Fast forward to 2022 July 12th!

[@MarkThompson-nq7yd]

Love this, Amber! Fantastic work.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Brains, beauty and astronomy. Perfect combination! Can't wait for the telescope to get launched.

[@silviasolano3780]

I cried

[@marinangelov]

I’ve just seen the first images from Webb and they look amazing!

[@timothystockman7533]

I had a print of the original deep field image on my office wall for 15 years, along with a picture of the LM rendezvousing with the CM showing the moon in the foreground and the earth in the background. These two significant events happened in my lifetime. If I were to ick another, it might be the discovery of cosmic background radiation.

scott b she's not that smart if she doesn't know very basics about astronomy. Copernicus discovered that Earth is not center of the universe not Galileo as she said.

[@jsmariani4180]

I"m pretty sure the Catholic authorities were in no hurry to embrace Galileo's conclusions. Of course he wasn't the first to propose the heliocentric model of the solar system. I imagine there were many others, even before Copernicus. Still even today, few people can convincingly prove that the earth revolves around the sun.

Thank you ! Who knew that the James Webb telescope would be tied to his racism.

[@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS]

Why the woman is talking about astronomy, if she doesn't know the basic things ! . It wasn't Galileo it was Copernicus ! . Copernicus discovered that Earth is not the center of the universe. Copernicus discover that the sun is stationary.

[@wilsontexas]

The is 2 men are why we cannot believe consensus science

[@efacel4514]

Galileo is credited for proving that the earth orbits the sun, but Copernicus is indeed the one who discovered it.

[@efacel4514]

I don’t think this discredits her, because it’s a small detail, and there weren’t any other mistakes that I noticed.

[@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS]

@@efacel4514 this is not a little mistake, she has a very poor knowledge, I don't want to mention all of the mistakes that she made over the short periods of time. Peoples with very poor knowledge causing so many problems. Especially when they go on the stage and they talk to bunch of peoples that believing in anything.

[@efacel4514]

@@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS Her field of astronomy isn't about the history of people, it's about the history and future of the universe. I'm sure she has studied her career quite a bit, and she does not have 'very poor knowledge', otherwise she would not be permitted to do her very technical job. Also the Sun isn't stationary.

Sorry, I'm going against popular opinion here. Ms Straughn has wasted over half of allocated talk time going on about Hubble and her all American girl childhood. She never really got to the true subject of the talk and instead wasted it on talking about discoveries of the last 30 years.

@ nebiru she doesn't know basic things about astronomy Copernicus discovered that Earth is moving around the Sun not a Galileo. I don't want to get to all her nonsense talking.

[@kevindouglas8768]

What a pile of CGi images. How can I take her serious with all that fake picture "proof"?

[@quantumquestthebillionaire1527]

Oh dear,do the world a huge favour and go play in the middle of the road?

[@kevindouglas8768]

Let's play along for a moment that nasa tell you about space but the earth is flat.. It would look like a circle of melt water with an ice ring that doesn't melt and holds in the oceans like a pond. Isn't it just as likely that aliens exist and come from beyond the ice ring? There could be other areas like ours that have a sun circling a magnetic north and leaving the oceans full of melt water. Those aliens would be happy to know that our understanding of "space" is incorrect. In fact, they would bolster the notion of space so we don't catch on that they are coming from across a flat plane that stretches out for millions of miles.

[@berndberg1414]

How do you know the earth is flat? Do you have any proof?
