A NASA astrophysicist explains humanity’s big new toy

After 25 years and nearly $10 billion, the James Webb Space Telescope has finally left planet Earth. Billed as a successor to the beloved Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb’s mirror is six times larger and its instruments are tuned to observe longer wavelengths, in order to detect the stretched-out light from primitive galaxies 13.5 billion light years away.
That primary mission - to see the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang - determined the unusual and challenging design of the telescope. Instead of a shiny tube, the Webb Telescope looks like a giant honeycomb riding on a silver surfboard. The short answer to why it looks like that is: It needs to be very big and very cold.
In the video above, NASA astrophysicist Amber Straughn and Vox's Joss Fong build a small model of the telescope to explore its extraordinary design.

@flamethrower883 2 года назад

@@SamyasaSwi Amazing is subjective. But one thing for sure is that it'll definitely be more detailed. Primarily because this telescope allows us to see past the dust clouds that obscures the light that Hubble isn't capable of seeing. There's a picture of the Eagle nebula from SmarterEveryday's video last year about this that illustrates what I'm talking about.

@SamyasaSwi 2 года назад

@@flamethrower883 Sure, but I just said that it won't be "pretty" pictures like Hubble because the JWT is near infrared...so no colours I assume.

@Nico-dt5hu 2 года назад

@@SamyasaSwi I think youre making a flawed assumption. It is true that we see different wavelengths in the visible light section of the electromagnetic spectrum and thats why see colors, but you can just shift the wavelength. Its not easy to understand. Lets say that a 10 unit long light is red and a 5 unit long light is purple. Problem is JWST captures 15-20 unit long light. But we can train computers to identify 20 unit long light as red and 15 unit long light as purple. So it can still have color, just not what we would see. Plus a lot of space photos come grayscaled and artists paint it with beautiful colors. Don’t worry about it. The astrophysicists can appreciate its geometric beauty, while we can appreciate its artistic rendition by humans.

@VV-cy3nw 2 года назад

@@SamyasaSwi don't worry about that :) Most hubble images are also composites of different wavelengths that are 'corrected' to visible colours. JWST images will be shifted from infrared to visible light, and we'll get some beautiful images!

@jasonwebb1882 2 года назад

For almost 20 years I have waited and waited. To be honest I never thought that I would see the day that, a Telescope named after my great Uncle would launch. Talk about stressful as we are all at the house watching this launch. I cant even imagine what the team that built it was going through. I wonder how many couldn't watch as the rocket started to take off? I was there watching a space shuttle take off in 86. I was one of the ones that as soon as it exploded knew it was a disaster. I had watched 6 launches before and this one was the one I would have nightmares about for the rest of my life. Sometimes I wished I would have gone to school that day. I am so happy to have watched a perfect launch. Now we are only praying for the JW to open and work like it is supposed to. Plus I really hope that it last longer than the short end of the stick. 5 months to 10yrs. Please last longer than 5 months. Please share this data to the world for all to see and enjoy. That's what separates science from governments. Thank you so much and I am pretty sure that my Great Uncle James is proud to have his name on such a marvel of technology.

@jmckendry84 2 года назад

I'll echo that. I'm from the UK and even though we're one of the few countries left that clings on to some imperial units (road signs are in miles, beer is sold in pints) I think that few people under the age of 40 have any understanding of Fahrenheit.

@seav80 2 года назад

Also, the Earth-Moon-L2 orbit diagram they include at 4:35 *only* shows "1.5 million km". So hooray for metric progress! Then again ~1 million miles or ~1.5 million kilometers is such a staggeringly large distance that putting it in miles or kilometers is almost meaningless to the average person.

Best explanation on how the James Webb telescope is going to operate and why. Fantastic job I really loved the video God speed James Webb

The James Webb telescope is the biggest step ever of humanity in this endless universe. Everyone of us should be proud of it ❤️

It's not a telescope. But you will feel it when they turnit on.

@Tubosun Olowolayemo it’s a telescope. It’s also a camera. He’s a troll.

„It‘s in the DNA of our country that we spend money on things that make the world more good.“ I get her point and certainly have no intention to discredit her, but I think the rest of the world begs to differ slightly.

I mean the USA among shem other ventures does spend a lot of money to make the world a better place. too bad she didn't express it with more nuance, and more good grammar

NASA, ESA and CSA have collaborated on the telescope since 1996. Several thousand scientists, engineers, and technicians spanning 15 countries have contributed to JWST. A total of 258 companies, government agencies, and academic institutions are participating in the project; 142 from the United States, 104 from 12 European countries, and 12 from Canada. So, just the US then...

Brilliant video, I tweeted yesterday that it's the most important launch in history and it got one like. I will never understand why 99% of the population aren't interested in the universe.

Without those carriers we wouldn't have this telescope.. we would have a dictator or a king..

I've been annoyed lately by some people who oppose this $10B Project. Why couldn't we use that money for more/better social programs like school, homelessness/unhoused, people who are struggling financially. But people don't understand that this project helps advance the competition in technology and physics. This telescope and the science will be brought into textbooks for students to be inspired. So many great things have come from the pursuit of Space exploration. Camera phones, CAT scans, portable Computers, artificial limbs and MORE! I love space exploration and the cosmos. Many only see the dollar amount, but I'm sorry but $10B dollars wont do much to fix the problems of this world. Seeing the proof of what curiosity and education can do, just from this telescope, can inspire many of brilliant minds to not only continue space exploration but solve problems here on earth. Keep funding and keep advancing.

@takeiteasy6154 2 года назад

I do love this exploration, but all those things were invented long before space exploration, just check, I genuinely want to know how it would bring poverty to a end.
