In this episode of The Night Sky Darrel Heath explains all the wonderful objects the James Webb Telescope will be able to see in our miraculous universe. The Night Sky is produced by UALRTV on the campus of UA Little Rock.
@@cuongbui9708That means you think it hasn't yet been proven that the earth is flat. But you seem to be sure it is flat, and gaining certainty about this can only have happened if you've already seen proof that the earth is flat. So the question is, why would this additional proof be anything worth having?
True, true. It’s just rhetorical statement. I’ve been following the project for 15 years, and a complete enthusiast. Cannot wait. October 2021. it’s just that over the years those delays got so frustrating! Water under the bridge, I think we’re at the finish line.
@@viennapalace It's a huge wall planner a little note about a launch date on a Sunday is not much space taken as the launch date can change forward or backward .
Every time I watch you, I learn new a new thing that I didn't know anything about! I will tell my 7 year old about the James Webb telescope now. My son is very interested in Space and I pass every little thing I learn from you to him. So, we thank you, sir!
Awesome video. Like the free, all age learning tools for folks' kids. Been watching this project's progress for years. Can't wait! I am sure it will go perfectly. But if it does have a problem, Send *me* out there. Great test for the Mars guys to learn from as far as susceptibility to space hazards. And I would fix it. :-) I have quite a collection of Hi Res pics already that pop up on my desktop with my other worldly images to remind me that there are still some civil men and women in the world. Well scripted and well delivered. You rock Mr. Heath.
Thanks for sharing. I got the chance to witness a rocket launch in 2018. Unbelievable experience. I shared a pretty cool video of the trip to my channel.
May sound a stupid question but can they link the hubble and the James Webb "together" to form a larger telescope.. Always wondered if this was possible.
One reason for that is that James Webb is intended to detect extremely faint infrared light, and the earth is both opaque and a huge source of IR. So, instead of putting Webb in low earth orbit, it will orbit the sun about one million miles from earth at a Lagrangian Point where only a very small part of the sky will be blocked by earth.
Personally, I find simply extraordinary to listen to any information about the universe. I don't have any education in physics or cosmology...I keep hearing how the Big Bang created time and space. Accordingly, the process or duration the Big Bang took to achieve expansion, required a sequence of events (Time) to occur...seems to me that the environment that housed the Big Bang would have had light and the time ticking already resting in a vacuum. I think the Big Bang only created two things...the elements and the momentum by which time can only be measured with...measuring time with seconds, minutes, hours, days and so on, is a human delusional intervention based on a line of sight.
How many videos have been made about this badass telescope over the last 15 years? It was suppose to be launched in 2017, but wasn't. Then it would for sure be in 2018. Here we are and it's 2021. Let Elon Musk take over the damn project.
Remember the Texas Accelerator? Oh... that's right.. It got killed right at like 95%. Another reason to chastise the Republicans for not knowing how to make and keep a budget. But we didn't really need it with the LHC coming on line. Anyway... Webb will go.. no doubt about it. They spent a lot less on everything last year except Trump's wall embezzlement scheme. We should be cash flush. Where will we boost it from and with what?
You wanted a launch date. Well, don't think of it like you would the release of working fusion reaction technology, always ten years off... ;-) But likely not set in stone, but certainly going to go this 'time' around.
@@cosmicraysshotsintothelight No this is Cosmology theorized as the great divider. In cellular biology quantum atomic structures make up the cellular biology. If fractals are any indicator, this process repeats at scale. At a scale of the Universe to a reality humans are unable to observe. Only in my opinion we exist in a multi dimensional system whereby the dimensions are relative to the size of the observer.
I think how far away it will be and how stunning it will be for no one to see. They better put a long selfie arm on the trillion dollar toy. And I know know, heat from the camera yeah yeah
Take a mathematics, and then introductory to physics, and then an Astronomy and finally a Cosmology Course, and you'll begin to understand what the brightest human beings have spent their lives studying to only end up NOT having a complete knowledge of, for yourself. 👍
I think they are in the world's largest clean room, IIRC. So I don't think it will be like a carrier 'Debris Walk'. And you used a plural. I doubt even one item detached. We've come a long way, baby, to get where we've got to today. Shake table... more like shake room. No Slop here... touché :-)
Link it to multiple background tracks from which the viewer picks. I could do Dvorak or a couple others. I heard him fine and didn't even notice it/any.
I will believe it when I see it ,actually got bored with following the development of this space telescope ,and I am really interested in this , I honesty don't think this will ever fly , excuse after excuse
@@pkjones5263 Correction, I just said it. BTW~ If you are employing the scientific method, pray tell us how a universe, packed into an infinitely small space exploded, and while you're at it, how a universe got compressed so much...
The Big Bang Theory says nothing about the moment of creation. It says that our expanding universe was hot and very dense 13.8 billion years ago, and from that we assume that it did have a beginning. The prevailing theory among scientists until the 1960s was that the universe had no beginning, it always existed, and this was called the Steady State Theory. A proponent of Steady State, Fred Hoyle, coined the term Big Bang to ridicule the idea that the universe had a beginning as described in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. A Belgian Roman Catholic priest and physicist named Georges Lamaitre first discovered in the 1920s that galaxies are moving away from each other, the observation on which Big Bang is based. So, why I wonder do so many Christians have a problem with it. Basically, it suggests that in the beginning there was nothing, and then there was light.
YES! BUT WILL IT EVER LEAVE EARTH!!!? AND IF IT DOES WILL IT BE BEFORE HUMANS HAVE TO LEAVE THE PLANET??? WELL AT LEAST WE MIGHT GET NICE PICTURES OF THE SUN TURNING INTO A RED GIANT BY THE TIME IT IS LAUNCHED!?
You spelled mosquito wrong. Gnats too. :-) If you ride a bicycle in the summer time you have to wear safety glasses at night because they home right in on your eyes. But sure. Your statement has some truth, but a limited range window. Want a test/ Get a little 8" non-stick skillet hot (not super hot, just get it started). Then place the bottom face a few inches above your forearm and you will feel some heat. Now turn it over and place the teflon side toward it. The heat output is huge. Same temp through the Aluminum but... That is due to emissivity differences, but your capacity to tell the difference is why you run out of a burning house, yet are able to snuggle close to a fireplace.
@@cosmicraysshotsintothelight I understand the windows you speak about. In a similar random response, I reply that it is fortunate that H2O has a wide temperature range between freezing and boiling, so we can have this conversation.
Yes, I'm sure you're the pinnacle of humanity. Let us all bow down to your superior greatness. If only the rest of us could be as alien-friendly as you are, the aliens would accept us. If they ever arrive and say "take us to your leader" we'll bring them to you. 👽
@@chrisw647 You sir have just proven my point, congratulations. Sure they would want to meet a condescending man, such as yourself, before meeting me any day.
Hubble got to be fixed in space due to an unforeseen technical problem before launch. Haven't you put a disaster recovery plan in theory after so long, please don't tell me no.
Sorry, not possible once its out there, unless there are repair robots sent out with it, or, Elon can send out his Starship once its ready. The chances of this working... it will require oceans of miracles... better pray!
Yeah genius, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that the original launch date for the "project" was supposed to be in 2007. You're brilliant...
Spacetime is not what makes the expansion. Spacetime can not drag stuff, like it had some glue. It can`t stretch or expand either since it is not made of anything. It isn`t made of some materia, and it can`t grow in size sinse there are nothing to grow and it doesn`t have any marks in it to reveal any growt. Were i General Theory does spacetime strech and attach stuff to it? What is happening is that stuff i moving away from each other as in space travel or fligth. Like Voyager is moving away now, flying through space.
Ah, another armchair RU-vid video astronomer lol putting in their two cents in the peer-reviewed process of a friggin' comment section! 🤣 Hey! At least you've successfully managed to effectively demonstrate your complete lack of any actual understanding or even comprehension of the science behind Cosmology, congratulations! 🤣👍
Rather than believe nothing created everything, try seeing the truth of scripture. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
This notion that the light we see is in the past is absurd. If that were the case the stars and galaxies we see would not be seen as stars and galaxies. The light particles would be displaced to the point that galaxies would be unrecognizable. What we see is as it is right now not in the past.
Are we alone? Hmmm who cares. Let's just mind our own business. Maybe God spread us so far apart. What if on their planet Eve said no and Adam said yes, Yowza
The universe and physics is Darwinian. Compare biology to matter physics? They are both exampled by units "cells and atoms" that possess bonding capabilities that form bodies. Biology and atomic physics is all about structure, and processes that build and maintain that structure. Thats what chemistry is, it's the process that initiates electron bonds that forms molecular bodies. Biology and physics are the same types of general system. they are entirely comparable. Biology evolved its complexity via Darwinian mechanisms. So did physics. Take a plant for example. It a biological system that evolved structures and processes optimised for exploiting the sun freely available energy. Infact their no more succinct way to summarize what a plant is, that this. Well, atoms and the bodies they form have evolved structures and processes that build and maintain those structures, optimized for exploiting the energy of space. Atoms consume this energy of space to generate the fundamental forces, atomic forces. For crying out loud people, snap out of that big bang bullshit. It explains nothing, it predicts nothing. Its a fantasy whereby people have presented circumstantial evidence as being solid unquestionable evidence. Shame. And while big bang cosmology suffers in the face of such challanges as the complexity problem and the fine-tuning problem. The question of "how did biology manage to generate its wildly complex forms and processes?" has the same answer as the question "how did atomic physics manage to generate its wildly complex forms and processes?" Darwinian processes. Nature only has one means, one process for generating extreme and intricate complex systems. Life demonstrates this process, and physics is another example of its fine handy work. Physics is not designed, not by chance or fluke, its evolved. People are so lost, that even when its explained to them in no uncertain terms, they still dont recognize the truth
I hate to be pessimistic but I just doubt it will go according to plan, I don't think it will work. Happy to eat my words but this thing is fraught with utter complexity with not a human hand in sight.
