If only Carl Sagan could see the telescopes like the James Webb he would have been awestruck at the clarity and depth of field.The ones shown will allways be of very important use,and are free of colliding meteors or bits of asteroids

Jodie Foster has such a beautiful voice for inspiring awe. You hang on her every word for fear of missing this intriguing and valuable information. A great pairing!

Love Jodie's voice. Perfect for this type of videos. Brings back lots of nostalgia and memories related to the CONTACT movie and Carl Sagan's narrations. Thank you! Elated to watch this.

Yes, "Contact" is an amazing film !!! :) I think I have seen it at least 5 times :) And for me Jodie Foster is one of humanity's treasures ! I mean, you can feel all her kindness, her intelligence and her generosity just by listening to her voice... :)

That’s wild that you got the girl from contact on this short, nice stuff

So heartwarmingly good to see and hear Jodie Arroway back "home", making contact again. Well done! Thank you!!

At last! Something on KZread with a REAL NARRATOR! Thank you Jodie Foster. You’re a class act.

Can we get a "Contact" sequel please? I loved Jodie Foster in that role! And the ending of the movie was a major cliffhangar! It would be cool to pick up 25 years later and see how her life evolved from that contact.

Thank you Ellie.

Is there nothing my favorite actress of all time cannot do!! Thanks Jodie.. Very informative and enlightening... And your voice seems to make this vid even more exciting!! 💜🧡💜

Standing next to one of those antennae is surreal given their size. I hope to make the trek back out there very soon. This operation is awesome - for the lack of better words.

I “grew up” with Jodie Foster(same age)….she is always awesome. Great choice for a narrator NSF!

I wish they would re-open the visitors center there. Went there many years ago and truly loved it. My trip went through there last year and it was closed to the public, I assume due to Covid. If it re-opens, a very worthwhile stop. And the location is almost eerily silent

Visited the VLA some years ago when working out there in Socorro. Amazing installation, but boy was it cold and windy. Its high there as well, nearly 7,000ft up.

Hello this is Mary Ann from South Jersey I've always been interested in outer space this is so interesting I had no idea all these telescopes existed thank you Judy for a very interesting video I enjoyed it thank you for sharing as they say keep looking up thank you

❤ totally enjoyable 😁.

Outstanding documentary... Excellent narration...

As all professional radio astronomers know, we do not lie under a radio telescope listening to incoming radio signals on our laptop computers as Jodie's Ellie Arroway character did in 'Contact'.

Thank you for forever advancing our education and knowledge!

The Australian/South African array has a longer baseline which gives it a higher resolution. I don't know if it has a higher sensitivity though. The Jansky VLA has been paired with other radio telescopes to form the VLBA, producing the highest resolution images possible.

What the advance they discovered nothing

"I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program. "A few insiders know the truth...and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon. "Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955. "It's still #classified above Top Secret." - Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975 “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960. “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981 “Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion, so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D.

(4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Airfield [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon.

@@Dodgevair What most people fail to realize is that the concept of UFO's are such bad ideas as to be unthinkable by any civilization able to do it. Physics would seem to rule out faster than light travel for anything with mass; so until that's demonstrated wrong, it's established science. Without FTL speeds, it makes no sense to spends thousands of years traversing empty space just to crash in the middle of nowhere or just abduct people in the middle of the night. Plus, when those ships would have had to have left their home systems, there was no Human civilization that would have drawn their interest. Probably not even Human beings. Popular culture would have it that ET's are able to pop over in hours, easy-peasy. The facts of the matter are very different, but people are not aware of the science involved. Even the tried and tested trope of invading Earth for our water is nonsense. Europa probably has more water (locked up as ice) than Earth does. Why bother trying to invade a planet and risk yourself when you can just cut up and transport an icy world (across billions of miles for tens of thousands of years). At any rate, water has been proven to be very common in the Cosmos, so why bother coming at all?

Am I the only one a bit saddened to watch this, looking 'round at the world's current state of affairs and suspecting that we're going to self-destruct just as we are on the edge of so very many breakthroughs in science and understanding? So much truth and beauty out there, but entirely too self involved to survive long enough to truly attain/grasp it?

"Oh wait, was she a great big fat person?"

Jodie Foster is great but this video is aweful. Jumping to all sorts of baloney even Bon Jovi, rather than just getting to the point. Does everything have to be wrapped in fluff?

Technocrats think Americans aren't capable of critical thought nor judgement.

The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3‭-‬4 who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number. Job 9:7‭-‬10 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground. Psalm 147:3‭-‬6 Give thanks to the Lord all ye people! For it is He and He alone that gives to every one of us our very life and breath. When you see the unfathomable size of the created universe and consider the vast number of stars and galaxies, remember that we, mankind, are the capstone of His creation. Christ the Holy Son of the Father, who is very God of very God and who made all that we see, humbled himself and took on flesh and became one of us. Why? To redeem a people of His own and dwell with them forever. This is the whole purpose and meaning of everything.

Genesis 1:3. Light created (Day 1) Genesis 1:14 Sun created (Day4) How could there be light before the sun? Oh wait, apologist say god was light, but in that case god didn't created light in Gen 1:3. The light was always there. So why did god need to create the sun? Leviticus 11:6 Says the rabbit chews cud. The rabbit has a completely different digestive system from Bovine. It does not chew cud (a regergitation). It eats it own fecal matter. Eating fecal matter is called "coprophagia", not rumination. Leviticus 11:19 describes the bat as a bird. The bat is a mamal, not a bird. Leviticus 11:23 Says you may not eat of 4 leg insects. Insects have 6 legs (by definition). Isaiah 11:12. Four corners of the earth. Really, the earth has four corners? I've never seen that on any pictures of the earth taken from space. Apologist like to point out north, south, east, and west. Please point out north, south, east, and west to me on a sphere. From Joshua 10:12-15 12) On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.” 13) So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14) There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel! 15) Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal. There is no actual evidence that the sun stood still. There was a claim that a computer tech showed NASA about the long day. This person had a very limited connection to NASA and only comes from the computer tech who uses the claim in his ministry. No confirmation from NASA. Judges 1:19 And the lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron. (RSV) Well, there goes tha "all powerfull" idea. Luke 1:1-4, the writer admits he wasn't an eyewitness, but retelling what others told him. Unless we can examine Luke's source material, the gospel of Luke can only be taken as hersay. How did Judas die Matthew 27:5 And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Acts 1:18 Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. If Judas hung himself then burst open, he must have already been dead when he it the ground. If he hung himself the fell "headlong" on the field, he would have had to turn 180 degrees down. If he was dead he would have fallen feet first. He could NOT have thrown the money in the temple then used it to buy the field, later. I know that some apologists like to "claim" that the temple priests took the money and bought the field. But that's not how chain of custody works. Judas abandoned the money, giving it up. So... Therefore there are errors in the bible, therefore NOT inerrant, therefore NOT the word of god...QED...

If you accept the reality that currently things in this world are not what people say they want, (peace, love, happiness, no pain or suffering), scripture says that God is restoring all these things. But our sin and sinful nature had to be dealt. Our sin is the reason things are as they are, but God dealt with it by His Son. So He calls every human being everywhere, every nation, language, ethnicity, to believe in the Son, for forgiveness of sin and obtain eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
