The James Webb Telescope Will Allow Us To See Back In Time!

[@tubularap]

7:11 - I was thinking about the risk for the JWT crews in that stressful unfolding month not being able to sleep. Yes, that is a serious concern. There must surely be a properly calendar drawn up for each crew-member when they have to be in function, and even when they need to sleep. JWST is going to be such a boost for so many disciplines of science, wow. I'm getting giddy just thinking about the looking back 13.7 billion years. Thanks for this enthusiastic appetizer.

300 precedural mechanisms of whih only 30 are mission critical with redundancy ;; it will go to plan. :)

[@robbie8881]

I love you videos, you deserve a bigas subscriber count :D

[@DrJamez]

Great video! I didn't realize that it only has a 10 year service life. There's going to be some really cool images

[@tubularap]

Yeah, first time hearing that for me too. 5-10 years feels so short, even though many stunning discoveries will have been made in that time. Really hoping that Starship is ready for maintenance trips by then.

[@Chadillac-xq7xk]

Would you rather them aim it into different spots in space, or track one spot for 10 years and see the changes?

[@DrJamez]

@@Chadillac-xq7xk there's a great big galaxy out there. I hope they cover as much of it as possible

[@worldsboss]

I’ve heard the JWST be explained around a dozen times from different content creators, but I’m so hyped by it. Hopefully it all works out 🙏🏻

[@kokomo9764]

It won't

[@joyoptimal6286]

And all the content creators give the same info, same details. Nobody is trying to be distinct by sharing some insight or technical details other than what we already known, or already shared.

[@xtasktaste0]

Thank you! Very informative video about how JWST will look through the history.

[@tranquil0335]

Eyyy new vid! Love the content! 😁

[@sonicsmemehouse3387]

Awesome vid!

[@alexandrechiasson7397]

Love science but don't always get it. If we were able to see other planets with this would they also be years ahead of what we are seeing? The light from the big bang my understanding is the pint of expansion the light is still imitating? So cool but it breaks my brain.

[@foxhoundnomah]

Y they would b years ahead of us or extinct.

I am so hyped for james web launch. hope it isnt delayed again as thats what is constantly happening!

[@Back_Fire2468]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was delayed, tell new years or something for any concern at all. I'm thinking the launch will be January 1 or early morning on the second depending on which launch window is the best. I hope it's not delayed but I think this makes the most sense for the JWST team anyway.

[@markoradivojevic5717]

Can't wait for a more detailed picture of our Solar system, Milky way and entire universe that will come up in about 10 years thanks to James Webb telescope and all other data gathered.

[@MozartificeR]

Hooray for James Webb Space Telescope.

[@glentorn5362]

Bon Voyage et Bon Chance, JWST !!! Our messenger from the dawn of time. 🌎🚀🌙

[@ralphvandergeest]

TOId is approximately one hundred lightyears from us. Not one hundred million. The inhabitants of TOId would perhaps just about be able to see humanity's very first experiments with television transmission. That is: if they have suitable antennas and chose to find out who else is out there. Compliments for your videos! Kind regards from the Netherlands.

[@TheEndevour2010]

I would look for lights from a day or two first so that we could establish some kind of dialogue. Forget about connecting to civilizations light years away for time being.

[@RübeXIsiminator]

Project Looking Glass 🔎 👀

[@joshuaa9513]

Wouldn't the Moon have an eddy current from the sun's electromagnetic field on its' shady side that would still interfere with it?

[@k0b3r]

I really hope that the manufacturing processes and assembly has been well done. You said it right, it will be a nervewrecking time to wait until it has deployed. But... since it has (at least) 300 points of failure... and humans have history of stupid mishaps from earlier times... i will be waiting the announcement of that 301st point of failure and the subsequent mission to fix the stuff... Fingers crossed thou that all goes well! Thanks for a great vid!

[@surajbhoelai]

The universe is expanding. So that means that our sun were in a different position in the universe. Is it possible to see our sun and maybe earth in the past if we look like 4 billion lightyears away with the webb telescope?

[@dunstanchecksin6005]

2:26 what do you mean light is out there and we can see it all

[@adventuresofanamateurastro804]

Wonder if the JWT will aid in the search for Planet 9?

[@joshuaa9513]

So this thing should be able to see the surface of Jupiter through its' gas atmosphere?

[@BigMacMick]

I didn't realise it had such a short life span at around 5 years :(

[@AlexFoster2291]

me either. But he said 5-10... :)

[@andrewlindberg1887]

It’s in an orbit that would make servicing it like Hubble difficult but not impossible. The other reason I can see is that if it has an end of life then it can be replaced by a more capable instrument. We have Starship now that can launch bigger single piece telescopes..

[@andrewlindberg1887]

@Joke By-done You should let Elon know that.. he seems to think that by refilling the tanks it can reach anywhere in the solar system.

[@andrewlindberg1887]

@Joke By-done a tanker ship from earth will refill the starship in orbit. I recommend you watch Elon’s first presentation on the system 4 years ago at IAC. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpW4iWavpamJras

[@altair4262]

Why does it not have an electricmotor? Would be easier with solar

[@tubularap]

What would an electric motor do? Spin a propellor? In the vacuum of space that will not do anything. Unfortunately, because a compact electric motor on solar feels the best, I agree.

[@DrJamez]

I'm no expert, but an electricity supply would only be half of the requirement. That blue looking ion thruster uses electricity to superheat a gas (neon/argon) into a plasma and shoots it out. This is what gives the satellite the ability to propel itself. The supply of the gas will eventually be gone though, which is why this won't last forever without servicing.

[@dusanradin5868]

So we are trully going "Back in Black"?

[@Odin197188]

Will we be able to see where we were in the past?

[@billhillyer334]

A way back machine cool mr peabody will be proud

[@machiavellian18]

So a stronger telescope can see into the past and it has to be further away …. So what do you have to do to see something further away into the present time?

[@CrzBonKerz21]

We are always looking back in time because it takes time for light to travel??

[@sarahm3881]

Yes!

[@fransvalkenburg1156]

[@sid7720]

at the beginning at 1:06 you said that from the proxima B ( i.e aprox. 4ly far from our sun) aliens could see the 4year past of the earth. Then how can we see 13.5M year past just from L2 (i.e 1.5M km far) 9:20 ? ? Anyone with legitimate answer can reply.

[@GoldCoast85]

Mind answering a Q if you know it? Is this telescope not actually a telescope that is trying to look closer like a regular home one or binoculars etc? Is it actually picking up better amounts of photons or what have you to collect the light etc? As in if you are able to see closer to a planet then you are seeing it closer to it's real time but if just collecting the radiation better or photons then having a better understanding of the past

[@dayshawanbrown4436]

Well it seems to me that we don't have to travel through space anymore🤯

[@jakeainesworth4386]

You always need the outside the box thinker or the person who understands how the walls of the box works as if the box was made to hold more than its supposed to be able to but yet its light you see what i mean..? A cardboard box how its made its durability is outstanding but yet its light do they make rocket walls like this? Or they solid and insulated and solid again with air chambers to balance and shift weight or angle adjustment with water weight or even and aird angler thatd shfit the force direction without thrust or gas or feul. Water has electric ions or as whatever keeps it together in a liquid form use water from all around buid a turbine for it exactly and harness the water and the power from it. As well as air holes with air turbines inside to build a charge. And why cany we, say take a magnifying glass and the sun you focus the beam and its powerful so why not do it with solar panels for solar power magnifying its rays received and harness more power faster and continuously

[@joshuaa9513]

Sounds more like a neutron death ray.

WHO ELSE READY FOR NASA NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS AND KEEP THE INFO FOR THEMSELVES??

[@elephantear7659]

How come we never hear anything from NASA, wasnt that supposed to be for us rather than for a handful of nerdy scientists?

[@kokomo9764]

I predict this thing will fail within 1 year or less. I have very little confidence that it will be unfurled properly. The JWST is not really a 10 billion dollar telescope. It is a 1 billion dollar telescope that cost 10 billion due to contractor incompetence.
