Holy crap. This is the most comprehensible video about the (possible) future of (radio)telescopes. Also I can share this with people that have no clue about what humanity/science is already capable of doing at this moment. 42 out of 10, would science this...

@StrangeChickandPuppo

One of the really cool details that makes the Magellan telescope unique is that there are no straight lines obstructing the optical path. The edges of all the mirrors are round, and the support structure is aligned with the gaps between the giant round mirrors. Just like JWST, ELT has hexagonal mirror segments and supports blocking some of the light, which will cause those characteristic diffraction spikes. The GMT won't have those spikes, which is especially important for imaging planets and other faint objects very close to bright stars.

I looove just how weird and creative the little bits stack up to solve similar problems. This is why science should be free for people to learn from, and together we can build a wondrous future.

"As resilient as Dolly Parton" is the best analogy I have heard in a very long time.

I recently got to meet John Mather, the former heard of the JWST project, and talked briefly about proposed future telescopes. My favorite is definitely the New Worlds Mission with the starshade design.

Good news: you already are. (Since the whole Earth has a telescope array.)

Hey is that Alexandra?? I love her videos. She’s always quick to correct the horrible misinformation of news outlets

I enjoyed every moment of the episode, receiving answers to several lingering questions. Despite its brevity, the video was remarkably informative, with the presenter's enthusiasm and spontaneity shining through, making it truly enjoyable from all angles. I found myself wishing it wouldn't end

I love this episode. Thank you SciShow. Astro Alexandra is an amazing host. Don’t forget to be awesome.

Watching this is making me so ridiculously excited that I'm shaking and smiling and nearly want to cry, I love this too much.

I absolutely love how these absolutely brilliant engineers and scientists can come up with these mind boggling designs for telescopes, but then completely stall on on coming up with names and just end up with things like "The very large telescope" Really highlights where the priorities are, lol.

Oh, guest host. I looked her up and was thinking "wow, Scishow is hiring some very accomplished hosts these days."

There's a question I have had for a while and I think I would LOVE to see a sci show video about the topic! I can't seem to find any macro algae that are toxic to humans. From what I can find, they are ALL edible. Why is that so? Why would large aquatic plants not have any toxins like so many micro algae and ground plants have? There are a lot of plant eating fishes and molloscs, so I don't kknow why. And it kinda bothers me. I'm grateful for all that edible stuff but hey, it's wierd

Wow. I casually watch the various Sci show videos, but this one was fantastic with lots of great details about the future projects

I really like the presentation style with the sets and such this episode. Hope we see more of it

Great video - a bit longer than usually have time for - but excellent vid - with tons of high level info on a lot of scopes - gives ideas on anything else to dig into. Also, as someone with public speaking, science, and comedy experience - Alexandra did a great job - loved the mix of content and humorous asides - just the right balance. As always - great content, delivery and production quality.

Hooray Alexandra!!

great video, hope to see more of these deep dives

Antenna design is a magical art

@KipIngram

Ай бұрын

It's not, actually - it's really just geometry. There's just a good bit to keep up with. A guitar string vibration frequency depends on length, tension, and mass per unit length. Imagine that you were stuck with your tension and your mass per unit length - your only way of adjusting frequency would be length. That's the situation you're in with an antenna, though it is complicated some by the possibility of having reflecting and directing elements as well as the one resonant active element. But it's all about length and spacing.

That’s still just so cool to see her here. That’s a huge step up girl congratulations!!

The first of many videos with Alexandra, I hope.

Thanks

Welcome to sci show. I have been watching you on facebook and tic Tok for a while now! Love your content. Hope to see you on sci show often

That is a beautifully sculptured narrative. Well done. Just excellent.

This was absolutely fascinating and packed with interesting info--so I hate to offer a critique, but note to the editor: I found the pacing of this video exhausting. I literally had to take a break and come back later. This style of non-stop-talking without a break works in smaller doses, but for a 30 minute video it's like drinking from a fire hose. My brain can only take in so much info at once without needing a momentary pause to process and consider what I've just heard. You are overloading my brain's buffer space! With a video this long you need to have some moments to breathe! Feed me, then let me digest for a couple seconds, then feed more, repeat. There's no need to be afraid of retention dropping off; anyone clicking on a 30 minute video knows what they're getting into. Again, I love the info and content, but this would be way easier to fully digest with some more thought to the shape of the pacing.

Wow I had no idea there were so many different designs.

I've seen her reels on FB. Glad to see her on SciShow!
