What James Webb Saw Near the Edge of the Universe | James Webb Part 1

That telescope is a monumental feat of engineering, super impressive work

The sheer gargantuan scale of the universe is absolutely mind boggling.

10:00 The illustration of a grain of sand held out at arm's length blocking out hundreds of galaxies in Webb's 'Deep Field' image really brings home the immensity of the universe and how tiny the Earth and our Solar System is!! Thank you for this excellent video!

Isn't it awesome and yet amazing to be alive now? So much great science. I am humbled and so thankful.

My favorite part was when the NASA scientists said: It's Webbing time! and then Webbed all over the universe.

This telescope is truly the pinnacle of human engineering in the 21st century. I can’t wait to see what the next 50 years will bring.

This is so beautifully done. The section that zoomed out to show the quintet moved me to tears. The awe-inspiring nature of these photos and the fact we are even getting the pleasure of seeing them is truly something. Trying to comprehend the scale and beauty in our universe is something extremely special and videos like this capture it so elegantly. Spectacular.

Fun fact: What we call the "universe" isn't even a fraction of what it acutely is, We just know it from what we can see

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. But it also puts everything into perspectives. 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 shed a tear looking at those photos. How lucky are we? How many men and women who came and passed before us could have only dreamed of this... Incredible

This is the information I was waiting for last fifteen years, mind blowing vdos, it brings me hope that within my lifetime I will be able to know a lot more about the creation. I owe a lot to you especially for this piece of your brilliant description of the vast expanse of universe as seen through the Hubble and James webb I will always wait for more such miraculous discovery . Thank you a lot.

“Now, you might be disappointed by how small it is,” that’s what she said

I can’t say enough how much I appreciate that you don’t sensationalize your videos. It’s simply a beautiful narration of fascinating facts that allows us to fully explore our wonder.

I remember when Hubble launched, the trauma, the heroes, then the jaw-dropping images. 20 years ago little did I realise how long it would take for JWST to actually launch, and little did I realise THIS video series would be the one I was waiting for MOST as the data comes in and unravels itself. Looking forward to the next in this series, thanks Alex. I do hope they can get MIRI fully operational again and this sentence ages badly, and quickly. It would be amazing if Starship is successful and we can start throwing up more space telescopes, at much more publicly acceptable costs.

Wonderful video as always Alex. Your enthusiasm is palpable and contributes so much to the excellence of your offerings.

It truly humbled me to know what a minute spec I am in the universe but can understand how much beauty and power there is out in the universe! Thank for such interesting facts and putting into words to easily understand

my heart soars at the future we're creating but i'm a little sad i may not get to experience everything.

I'm still amazed by how powerful Hubble is to this day

I love the difference in technology between the two. Hubble was peak of technology at the time, and it's lasted us this long. Providing great pictures, and vast amounts of information. Then, we threw JW up there, with modern technology and understandings. The difference is just..beautiful.. It makes my technophile heart cry from joy, appreciation, amazement, and awe. And makes me look forward to what they'll send up in another 40 years from now

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.
