At 7:40, the narrator says about the JWST: "It's unique position at the heart of the Milky Way allows it to send back images that redefine our image of space". Wow, I guess we have warp drive now.
-
Contractors are amazing people to have built such a thing!
-
There are a few iffy things in this video, some of which have already been mentioned by others. The telescope is not placed at the top of a mountain "to be as close as possible to the stars" 5:17. It is put there to get as far as possible out of the earth's atmosphere.

👏Excellent documentary. Congratulations.👍
-
Ten times better resolution than four interferometric optical telescope. Maybe, but the ELT also combines all the light into one image. The four telescope interferometer doesn't combine all four to make a single image. They only combine the light for spectroscopy. When they take a picture, they take a picture with only one of them. So, it would be more accurate to compare the ELT to just one of the four optical interferometer telescope.

Crazy how the Atacama desert looks like Mars.

That's a big ole telescope. One thing you didn't mention that I think is really cool is that it's supposed to be able to correct for atmospheric distortion. I don't know exactly how it works, but somehow they point a bunch of lasers at the sky that detect the distortion, and then software makes corrections to the image in real time. It'll be pretty amazing if it works.

It's not high up to be closer to the stars, but to get out of the atmosphere as much as possible.
-
Highly impressed of this idea to search the galaxy.
-
This is so amazing, excitement is an understatement. I've been patiently waiting for news ! Its really coming along nicely ! Green Bank observatory is in my state, I wish I could go see it ❤🙏 one day I WILL! This is wondeful news ! Thank you !
-
I get "Contact" vibes from the construction photos. 😊
-
I am proud that the most powerful telescopes in the world are located in Chile
-
I glad humans build such machines-
-
It would be interesting to know what capability these land-based telescopes offer that can’t be provided by Webb and other space-based technology.
-
Looking for a physical point as the origin of the universe is pointless, because it no longer exists in our spatial dimensions.
-
The JWST orbits around Earth's L2. It is not located at the center of the galaxy.
-
if this is so, then the protest against TMT can finally come to an end for TMT would no longer be needed. native hawaiian elders can finally lay at peace knowing that they succeeded protecting Mauna kea and protecting what is left on that mountain.

ETERNITY - NO beginning, NO ending
-
Spoiler alert - we sure are going to be upset when we discover the universe has no beginning and no end.

My neighbors son in law is an engineer from here in australia who i over there working on it and he divides his time between there and ITER The tokomak fussion reactor. The last big job he worked on was the Burj Khalifa in the UAE
