The concept of “cosmic noon” is so spiritually evocative to me. The idea that the period of star formation in the universe is already in the downswing, that we live in a “cosmic evening” is so melancholic and beautiful.

By most models the universe is still in its infancy, so you could say that star formation in general is just a brief stage in the ultimately much longer and vastly different lifetime of the universe.

I don't think most people are aware of or comprehend just how incredible an engineering and scientific achievement that instruments like JWST and Hubble really are. Popular culture isn't particularly clued into subtle scientific issues generally, but I think we could do better as a society in helping to celebrate the true scale of achievement that these instruments represent. It's very hard to equate human achievements and the relatively worth and value of these achievements when they are in distinct fields. I mean, I've often wondered how we would try to 'sell' the magnificence and value to human knowledge that someone like Einstein and relativity represent when compared to say; elite sportspeople like Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps or Tiger Woods, etc. I mean, IS there any common ground we can find to accord some relative or objective value these people and their works provide to humanity? I guess it comes down to what we value as a society and what we are trying to achieve. In that sense, I think there's never going to be a proper objective measure - we're talking about things like entertainment, pride, aspiration to better ourselves and our physical attributes and skills versus more abstract values and properties like the accumulation of knowledge, the enrichment of 'Encyclopedia Galactica', hell perhaps even increasing our chances of surviving cosmic or planetary calamity and spreading this phenomena of life elsewhere. TL;DR: I wish more people valued knowledge.

imagine if we put all our collective effort and money into building more things like this instead of war and persecution

[@ken90004]

This is part of the Kardashev scale. We, as a collective intelligent civilization, need to overcome our political differences. Think about 50K years ago. We colonized. We found power in groups and consumed power. We looked at our neighbors and they had something we wanted. We learned that if we attacked and killed them with rocks, and then missiles, we can take what we need to grow and be more strong. In time we learned that we could instead trade resources instead of killing. And we do this today. We have what is on our shelves, in the stores, from another country, and a another individuals work. But we still killed our follow man to take that they have (politics). So our people can expand and survive. The strong still try to kill the weak to take. Or at least control. We are still 50K in our past. The only thing that has changed is the size of the rocks. We have science. We have Carrier groups. We have bombers. We have subs to sneak in. We have huge amount of well train troops that know how to kill. Who has more strong, NATO? Is Russians wrong. Nope. Putin is wrong to try to take from a weaker nation. But this is war games. To your point. We all must accept our follow man. And look at them as human. Get over our political differences. If you have then help those that do not. That is the start. The solution to this war is simple. Help Russian citizens. Many went to Kazakhstan, Serbia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Georgia, and Finland. Let them know we love them too?

Sadly, the lust for power is too great for some.

Maybe if we just took all the money and used it to transition all the little boys to little girls and vice versa, you'd be happy.

[@Blueknight1960]

@@ken90004 What makes you think our civilization is intelligent? Humans are the only species on earth that wipe out other species. Build weapons of mass destruction that can annihilate entire cities and leave the land uninhabitable. Create viruses that can pretty much kill and wipe out everything. The carnage we do to ourselves. Doesn't sound very intelligent to me.

[@frankf1095]

Thank you for the very entertaining and informative video. Nice scripting and well presented.

[@baltogames1501]

It's amazing how our species has both created and removed the fiction from science. Imagine how advanced society could have become if the motivation had been true benevolence and not simply the vulgarity of profit.

I have been watching your videos for years and this is my favorite one yet! I was blown away by how deeply we can zoom into space! I'm most interested in studying that galaxy that you circled in red. If JWST is able to focus on that for longer than 12.5 hours, I would love to see what that image would be. Great video!

[@j3nks69]

Thank you SO much for these updates. I genuinely appreciate and love these videos because I have always wanted to pursue a career in the same industry. And seeing the new breakthroughs only fans the fire of my inspiration and drive.

God I wish I'd been able to continue my astrophysics degree. This is SO cool! Im such a sucker for space, I cannot WAIT to see what James Webb can do over the next few years. I've started reading the three body problem series and it's really good. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good sci-fi series. I'll warn you, though, by the time you finish the series your existential dread will probably be a lot worse. :^)

$10 billion might sound like a lot but, considering that it took about 30 years to build and launch, that's about $1 per US citizen per year. I think it's a bargain. Edit: beautiful and informative video - thanks!

The United States just gave Ukraine 100 billion for war. That should be illegal.

There is no edge...no beginning or end. All is infinitely smaller and infinitely larger...forever, into the past and future and all dimensions. Infinity.

[@Kevan808]

It would be so amazing if we could travel there in a blink of an eye.

[@UnchartedWorlds]

if you did, you would probably see just more universe and we our planet Earth would be on the "edge". It's possible that universe is infinite in 3:rd dimension and even though it's infinite it is still expanding, since infinities have always more rooms for more guests.

[@LegendFromWoW]

There are going to be some pretty neat discoveries coming up. I look forward to watching your future videos that highlight them!

[@g.w.7893]

13:20 - I think you meant to say “the difference between a YOUNG galaxy like ours and an OLD galaxy that formed just after the Big Bang”.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

Why do you not call young people new people if you call aging ones old? Young and OLD can sometimes mean the same thing. The youngest picture of you, is the oldest picture of you.

[@dhruvrajput8058]

As our galaxy is only thousand of light years in diameter we are able to see the parts of our galaxy what they looked like thousands of years ago... but in case of distant galaxies which are billions of light years years away we are able to see how they looked like billions of years ago just after the big bang, as light takes billions of years to travel from these galaxies
