Information doesn't come from mass or energy, it only comes from a mind 👍 The instruction book of life is the most complicated, intricate, intelligent, information packed into EVERY SINGLE LIVING CELL. Even Darwin, from his own statements, would not believe in Darwinian evolution today with the knowledge we have of the complexity of a single cell now- irreducible complexity. The same God that wrote that book inspired a book for you to read, to help you in the life He gave you, intentionally, of His own free will. That's the best selling book of all time- the Bible. Read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John- the eyewitnesses to Jesus' life and sacrifice for YOU.

I enjoyed your making fun of the phrase "Bursty star formation". But that is the way language works. You have to give something a "name" or "it" can't be talked about. Think about the name "Big Bang". This is actually a derogatory term given to "it" by its detractors. By giving "it" the name "Big Bang", you have given "it" a "handle" as the CBers (Citizen's Band radio) would have called it 50 years ago. Now, we can talk about "it" because "it" now has an agreed upon name, even if "it" is a silly name. Shakespeare said, "A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." What he meant is that if we call a rose a "turd biscuit" it would still smell the same. Calling the process something silly like "Bursty star formation" does not undermine the serious attempt to differentiate the process from other, standard types of star formation. Think of it another way, would you rather it be called, "The Stevenson-Hewitt post-modern analogous rapid aggregation stellar nursery model" or "Bursty star formation." Sometimes, silly is superior to superfluous. Thanks for the smile.

Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up, but your audio seems to have an issue. It sounds like you have exposed hard walls around you, accross each other. There appears to be a short hard echo that dies out slowly (like ~0.5 seconds). They are more prominant on certain frequencies, around the frequency of your speach. It seems the sound can bounse multiple times and still be picked up by the microphone. It reduces the clarity of your voice and gets iritanting in the long run. You may know all of this already, but you may add acoustic panels or heavy cloth on the walls at the points of primary reflection. I don't see your microphone, but you may consider bringing it closer to you, increasing signal to echo ratio. If you have already treated your walls, it's possible the echo comes from your floor and roof. Your production quality for video is so high, it would be a shame, if your sound were to lagg behind. Anyways. Thank you for your videos. They are generally very well made.

I've always been a bit of a space nerd kinda geeking out on the photos before JWST. Seeing the first deep field view from JWST and the picture of the Pillars of Eternity made me fall in love with space and our universe all over again. Can't wait to see what else we can find out there and what the next space telescope will be able to do.

Re: the excessive compression on Simon’s dialogue: it’s really difficult to lower the volume of his breathing because the original audio was compressed too hard. It has nothing to do with phase, professional engineers record dialogue in mono (his voice was recorded in mono, correct?) Best option: create a frequency profile of the breaths, attenuate those freqs with an eq and side chain it to a downward expander with very fast attack & decay. Flux makes a dedicated downward expander but you can get the same results with Fabfilter Pro-MB.

Great vid. You have a minor prob with your audio. Every intake of breath sounds like you are taking a haul on a respirator. Do you smoke? Gasping for breath is not a good sign. Take it from someone with COPD.

Some scientific disciplines create really highfalutin names for their concepts, and use terminology that’s little more than inscrutable technical jargon to anyone who is not in that field. But in cosmology it’s like, “what should we call the enormous space circle that’s so dense not even light can escape? Eh, I dunno let’s just call it - black hole.” And when you’ve got a burst of bursty stars bursting - well, bud, that there’s a bursty star formation. Absolutely mind blowing concepts, all revealed by highly technical science, but the names - straightforward af.

I love hearing about this kind of stuff. Even if these discoveries seem inconsequential at this time, they contribute to a massive body of work that may lead to our salvation as a species.

It would be good if images that are artist's conceptions or CG were labeled as such, so they aren't mistaken for actual photographs.

I agree but im not worried, have you seen the images comming out of Mars? Way better then any CG depiction, the truth is actually stranger/more beautiful than fiction, theres black sand dunes and blue rocks... no one would have thought to model that on Mars.

​@@DeeGee-mv6eq The area being checked out and photographed on Mars is huge so it should be a simple job for you to utilise Google maps to identify the exact Earthly area you claim is being used instead.

The pics of the JWST are amazing. My fav is the ones of Saturn.

i never realized ursa major had such a huge tail. i've never seen a bear with a tail that was more than a stub.

Bears do indeed have short tails. No evolutionary advantage for them if they had long tails. Maybe it represents a binturong. they resemble a bear with a long tail.

This all boils down to "we simply don't know". Our journey to understand the universe has only just begun.

awesome video!!! Thank you it made my day

The JWST is an infrared telescope so all photos are doctored to make them look more colorful and in human eyesight light, so the red ones might merely be artifacts of the colorization.

I agree with you and as good as tech is today,it’s still transmitted by binary code so is it really that accurate or just a human/computer interpretation? And before this comment gets hated on by the uneducated,just understand that it is my opinion and I’m always right.

Fun Fact: James Webb Space Telescope and JWST have the same amount of syllables, so the acronym only saves time when typing, and you could make the argument that "James Webb Space Telescope" rolls off the tongue better than "J W S T".... Just sayin...

We continue to discover just how useful the JWST is and how it is a breakthrough for all involved to overcome the daunting task of stepping up to successfully address the complexities of conceiving, planning, building and delivering the planet to its correct place in space. And now we have an instrument that will help us supersede our considerable knowledge about the Cosmos to date by proving how much we don't yet know. It's just the greatest of success stories in so many ways. Congrats to all, and may they have the good fortune to see JWST last for years of service.
