I don't generally cover breaking news stories, but since I've been talking about the James Webb Space Telescope for years on this channel, it didn't feel right to let the news of the first images slip by.
So let's take a look at these first images from JWST and talk about what they mean.

My dad was born on June 1944, He spent his life working in Astronomy. He worked on the Hubble Telescope, Kitt Peak, Mauna Kea and hundreds of projects. He actually designed some of the infrared detectors that were used in the James Webb Telescope. It was among his greatest achiecements. Unfortunately he died on March 16, 2020, before the James Webb was launched. If you wish to verify what I'm saying, his name was Donald N.B. Hall and if you type in his name followed by the word Astronomy it's all there. Rest in Peace Dad.

Inspiring for the youth out there even if they don't know who your dad was, the exploits alone are enough to spark an interest in the field. There's a biography waiting to be written here.

Back in the early 2000's, I worked on the FGS as a test engineer. One of the things that I don't think gets talked about enough is how there are mechanical focusing mechanisms that move and adjust deep within the system... that have to run at cryogenic temperatures. Think about this -- stuff expands and contracts when it gets hot and cold. The tolerance on these movable parts is so very narrow that it will not move at all when it's at ambient temperature. I remember talking with a mechanical engineer about this, and he was deeply concerned that, after transport, after thermal cycling during travel... after the vibration of launch... what if this focusing mechanism seized up? And there's no way we were going to be able to fix it. And that is just one small part that I was working on... the fact that this thing is working at all, let alone working as well as we could dare to hope (and maybe even better!) is nothing short of amazing. Great video btw.. love the content, Joe!

The day the images came out I downloaded the high res pngs (some are 180MB) and put them on a tv and was zooming in on all the galaxies in the deep field. My 10 year old came in to look at them as he’s very interested in space, especially neutron stars, black holes and the possibilities of aliens. He asked me what all the small dots were and when I told him individual galaxies, some are 13 billion yrs old and it’s a patch of sky the size of a grain of sand at arms length…his jaw dropped and he physically shuddered. Seemed like the right response.

I was amazed by Hubble and extremely more amazed by Webb. But considering Webb took 30 years to build, the next space telescope should absolutely blow our minds. And we have only seen test shots from Webb that are far above the shots from Hubble. I am excited to see the images yet to come from Webb. It is incredibly awesome knowing we are seeing images as far back in time to the near beginning. It is all just so incredibly mindboggling and beautiful. I would not have thought that it could get any better than Hubble and just the test shot from Webb has proven me wrong. Hope I am still around to see the images from the space telescope that replaces Webb. But until then, we will have an awesome show from Webb.

Hi Joe. Thanks for posting this video, great content and nice precise explanations on everything. I worked on JWST at NG for the last 15 years, mainly on the design of the Sunshield and the engineering of everything that as you put it "could have gone wrong 14 million ways but didn't" for that Sunshield to deploy and tension up, so I am beyond thrilled to be seeing these images and can't wait to see what happens over the next 20 years :) I think you nailed it on the head when you said, "let's take this victory". Finally a positive win for ALL of humanity, getting the entire population to agree on 1 thing is impossible, but I believe Webb can be that miracle. I have high confidence we will find that for sure signal of life on an exoplanet using Webb, and I can't wait for that day!!! Thanks again for sharing your insight on our Observatory through your channel. Great job!

I was a teenager when the first pictures of Jupiter came back from Voyager. Our local newspaper went out of its way to print a color front page because of it. People were in awe. That's what I thought of when you asked when was the last time you remembered people being united in enjoying good news: the Voyager pictures of Jupiter. Later, I was getting my undergrad degrees in physics and astronomy when my professors were saying, "When Hubble launches, we'll be able to blah blah blah." This is part of why I didn't take seriously the people that were moaning about how the Webb launch delays. There are always launch delays, and in the end, the damn thing always launches. Right now, I just want JWST to find a chemical disequilibrium in an exoplanet somewhere that can't be explained by anything but life of some kind. I want to know that there is a form of life somewhere that has nothing to do with humans or Earth.

[Actually] It only took 4 hours of ACTUAL exposure (or 4 & a half if you include the "pointing" & "stopping" of the telescope). Then it did a lot of "system checkings" [as part of the global calibration & error_detecting procedures on its systems], before pointing its high_bandwith antenna for fast downlink [it generates a lot of heat, so observations are paused for a while]. Hubble could do observations, processing and data transfer simultaneously (but only "looking" with 1 instrument at a time, Webb can use them in pairs & record at high resolution].

You mentioned the moon landing, but the last comparable astronomy advance for me was the Voyager 2 fly-by of Neptune, back in 1989 (when I was 8). _Scientific American_ had an entire issue devoted to it, which I utterly devoured. I mean, there have been lots of advances between then and now that are amazing on an intellectual level (*edit:* e.g. the first confirmed exoplanet wasn't until 1992), but nothing quite so visceral.

The 'flares' are called "diffraction spikes" and they're the result of two aspects of JWST combining. First, the hexagonal shape of the tiles, as you said, but second the three struts of the support structure. When they add up, you get the 8 point pattern. In a perfect world, where fuel wouldn't be an issue, if they rotated on axis, those could be 'taken out' by a second look. As is, they're here to stay, unfortunately.

Somehow in the euphoria I feel some sadness that its just that many countries can take part actively while so many others which enabled it from the mining of the raw materials, to the transportation, to the brutal economics and history of civilisations, intellectual and social, feel left out. I don't mean what it might seem, sorry. Heck, I am in one of those countries, but I do feel proud too as we humans reach so beyond ourselves like no other creatures can, that we know off. Hubble's first good images feel just like yesterday. As I reach the milestone of reaching 60 today, I know it will continue to be just a dream that one day, at least the majority of us, can hold a product of this and feel I am directly a part of it too. It may just never happen even if I live another thousand years, sadly. The leaps that we have made just in that 60 years, just in looking out to outer space, made me feel so exceptional to be in this generation, after thousands of generations. So, Congratulations and Thank You to all those who made this happen, so many no longer with us, some/many in sad ways, to even imagine it. Just hoping further that what we are about to discover will not lead to us to being even more divided than we already are.

This must mean that the light isn't bent around an object due to gravity but that the gravitational effect forms a bubble of increased density similar to a water bubble floating in the space station and we are observing the light passing directly through the dense gravitational bubble. Interesting to see this affect from relative time due to gravity...

Hubble Ultra Deep Field already blew me away for the sheer amount of galaxies and unfathomable scope and size, Webb’s First Deep Field now takes it to a new level with this unreal amount of detail and gravitational lensing. The warping of galaxies in such clarity is just awesome to behold.

Great explanation of the images! I also watch Dr. Becky, but I like your perspective as a nerd. Subscribed!

Just test images over five days! And we still have 20 years of life in this thing! Holy hell this is going to be incredible!

The speed difference is what really shocked me when I read it (Aside from the amazing images obviously). It's crazy how much more data we can get out of it just because of that. Like, 2 weeks to less than 12 hours? And the results are so much better? I knew it would be better than Hubble but i didn't realize how much of a technology gap it would be.

I was watching those ghostly images from another world, in 1969. I saw that "one small step", and for a moment, the whole world saw it as they sat (beside me) in awe. It was a very positive global moment. Nothing since has held so much of our soul up to the Universe. A moment when we promised the Cosmos that we were coming. That we would always be coming.

Seems like a perfect symmetry: 20 years to develop, 20 years in service. I wonder what the cost per image will work out to. Worth every penny IMO.

I never thought about a price per image... The proposed high speed rail link between Baltimore and DC supposed to cost something like $6, 500 per inch, though, so it's still probably a better deal than that.

The project was quoted at $500 million and at the end it cost 20 times much more. I like NASA and its amazing telescopes but please don’t be blind: Japanese and European teams and NASA would have delivered the same telescopes for 5% less than NASA. NASA does great jobs to the American people and also for the rest of the world but NASA ALSO wastes a lot.

I think the last time we had "similar" news is when Hubble became properly operational. I still remember the awe of its ground breaking pictures and discoveries. Here's to JWST carry on and surpass its legacy!

Nevermind the deep field images, the thing that excites me the most is the ability to see the composition of exoplanet atmospheres. It's so freakin cool, it's the closest humanity can get right now to visiting other worlds.

After hearing Joe explain how it works, makes JWST even more impressive. I can't imagine the target exoplanets are very big
