It is refreshing to see a video on JWST images that does NOT use the words TERRIFTING and SHOCKING.

[@galenhaugh3158]

The only things shocking and terrifying is how wrong our scientists have been.

[@jkilmon]

Scientists are doing great in science that affects our planet and our people. As far as phenomens 13.9 billion years ago and hundreds of light years away, they are entitled to b wrong. "Wrongness" is a vital element of the scientific process where eventually 4 wrongs can highlight a right. We can never rocket up to stuff s thousand light years away so the JWST allows conjecture. That's as far as we can go.

Fraser, your dedication to responding to every comment is truly commendable! It's rare to see this level of engagement, and it blows my mind just like the vastness of space! Your videos are always outstanding and incredibly informative. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@420Khatz]

When Uranus has the faintest ring around it...😍 In all seriousness though, the amount of detail that JWST is capable of us mindbogglingly incredible- especially when you look at the pictures Hubble initially took that JWST reimaged and compare them side by side. Never fails to leave me feeling absolutely flabbergasted.

[@frasercain]

And we're still just two years into this.

[@sergeyyatskevitch3617]

An exceptional video. Great selection of the facts and images, an interesting and a quite deep coverage of the phenomena described. Just stumbled upon your channel, and got glued to it. One more happy subscriber :) Cheers!

[@gregedmand9939]

Yes! What an excellent way to present these discoveries of Webb. Too many presenters jump around gushing about one exciting discovery to another as though the data and analysis are developed that way. There's a method and long term battle plan for how this amazing tool is used by scientists.

[@DanielVerberne]

In regards to the tidally-locked exoplanets, the ones that have an atmosphere and high wind speeds might be able to quite efficiently redistribute heat across to its 'dark side'. I'm fascinated and excited for what future astronomers will learn about such worlds! I find the 'terminator' regions of these 'eyeball worlds' particularly fascinating. If any of these distant world's has formed life, it's tempting to think of the terminator regions like that of the intertidal regions of our oceans. These regions could foster the transition of lifeforms evolved for one habitat to the habitat on the 'other side' via the moderating medium of the terminator. I wouldn't be surprised if the 'eyeball' of some of these planets included 'crumbly debris' forming a very real and visible geological barrier around the 'eye'. My reason for thinking this is after considering the vast heat that region endures, but with such close proximity to the 'bitter cold' of the shade causing chronic fracturing of rock, causing ongoing strain. In short, like a desert on steroids.

[@frasercain]

Yeah, it was thought that the tidally locked worlds would only have a tiny region that's habitable, but with that atmospheric circulation it's probably habitable across the entire day side.

[@michaeljames5936]

Really great video; I watch a lot of space news channels, and I'd missed a few of those events, and got a much better perspective on others. Thank you.

[@amj2048]

First of all this is a great video Fraser! I find it really interesting that they used the near cam (NIRCam) to find the most distance galaxy + I find it really interesting the most distance galaxy is bigger than 1 pixel (at the moment).

[@frasercain]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The galaxies are bigger than a pixel, but they're very faint requiring a long exposure to get the spectroscopic data.

[@joshmiller7870]

It is baffling and amazing that we can plot the locations and size of all these things given that we are not looking at them as they are, but as they were based on light that has been traveling for so so long. It's truly amazing.

[@frasercain]

Astronomy is such a strange science. You can't run the Universe multiple times to do different experiments, you can only observe what happened. But can you imagine if historians could look into the past just by being farther from a dig site?

[@joshmiller7870]
