Building the Largest Space Telescope Ever | National Geographic
Ойын-сауық
In a global collaboration between NASA, ESA, and CSA, a team of more than a thousand scientists and engineers are building the largest telescope ever sent into space-the James Webb Space Telescope. Bigger and more powerful than its famous predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Webb telescope will be able to observe some of the earliest light that ever existed in the universe and possibly find clues to where we came from.

I can't wait for the Webb telescope to get up there. Been waiting all my life to see something like this. Just want to know what we are all about

Get it in space NOW! I want to know more about Kepler 22b!

its really inspiring. I wish its longer...
Its amazing to see how the world comes together and works for the betterment of society and pioneering space exploration.
It was fun watching this telescope be built from the visitors galley at Goddard SFC. Each of the mirrors sat on a balcony area therein for weeks, each in its own case, until they were carefully added to the frame.
I totally forgot about this telescope! I've seen it in some space documentaries about it long time ago. Can't wait!
This is absolutely amazing and I feel so glad that they have created this video to show off the telescope that will produce some of the first and clearest pictures into the farthest past of our universe :)
With this telescope we will understand not only the universe but also humanity in a way we had never expected before.
This is a project of big scientific tool, for precious images of space. Hope success for mission.
Under the guise of "science", Darth Vader and his team of "scientists" commence work on the Death Star.
awesome! hopefully it can study super earths and other exoplanets much more clearly.
We are living in the age of the James Webb Telescope now and we are seeing its amazing images
Epic. Godspeed to all.
They should use it to study blazar and quazars
Great news to hear.
I think the most surprising thing from this video was that CANADA has a space program… ha who knew… @3:23

im really hyped about dis telescope
NIce tie !!
very ambitious. let's get it done.
fantastic .....
I can't wait tel time come for launching !
That's Amber Straughn, isn't it? She was on 60 MInutes this past weekend, in Bill Whitaker's segment on the Hubble Space Telescope.
when this is sent into space... R.I.P Hubble Space Telescope we will miss you :,(
Can't wait
what is shape of the mirror segments of primary mirror ?
James Webb is right on track to launch in 3854, right around the time humanity colonizes the Andromeda galaxy. Seriously though, the thing is taking forever.

I am a great fan of National Geographic. You, guys, shoot ingenious films. What I didn't expect from you that you didn't make a film about batteries. There were technical series for engineers like 'Big, Bigger, Biggest' that were capable of being watched by old guys with their wifes. That's the series my wife watched without annoying debates. We, the workers, still don't know the evolution of the batteries, and it's obvious that we need better ones to what we have today. Batteries: The Great Change. From first electricity experiments to Tesla batteries. No one can do that, if you will not. Only you are capable of doing that. (I come from the Russian Federation.)
Considering all the shuttle missions to Hubble for general service and updates, how will this be done with the Webb telescope and its great distance from Earth?
Uh-oh: "It gets to the heart of our big questions... where do we come from, and how did we get here, and are we alone..." (3:44-3:52) And cue the god-botherers in 3, 2... Oh wait; Don't bother, they're here.
getting launched this year. i cant wait :DDDDDD
can't wait
U r right I agree with Freddy Acosta
Bueno esto se pone interesante esperemos el lanzamiento a ver qué pasa.
The most surprising fact here is that (Canada) has an actual Space program (CSA or ASC, if you're French Canadian)?
A science cheer-leading pep talk
Wow
Please don't delay it anymore launch it this year.
Will James Webb Telescope counts how many galaxies in the universes after its launch & destination in 2019?
Fuck the telescopes, WE NEED MASS RELAYS, Lets start a petition! lol
Launch date Seems to be around spring of 2019 or so now.
new discoveries here we come :D
It coming October this year BoOoOoI

Not the primary goal. Pay attention to her list of objectives. "ARE WE ALONE?" is #4 and only interjected by the politicos in NASA. This objective will require the JWST to be pointed toward two of the brightest stars in the Universe, which could fry the sensitive IR optics.

May be we will be able to find life bearing planets and new galaxies. Infrared is cool ! And this guy is way larger than Hubble ! very very interesting 😂😂🎉🎉🎉👍
It'll be launched soon
Wait....the solar system is moving. Will the telescope be able to travel with us being out so far.

FINISHED TODAY WOO
so much why, very little what and how. all i’ve learned was that the mirror is beryllium and gold.
After the launch of James Webb telescope, can I have the Hubble please?
Hey maybe this telescope can see other EARTH-LIKE planets like of the Gliese 581 Planets
I am sending my Dobsonian telescope into space next year.
it kinda looks like a star destroyer
When it be operational?
when will this be sent into space?
Anyone else realize how long this video is? :)
Lets hope they get the mirror in focus this time and duh...test while still on earth, unlike Hubble that needed "glasses" and a expensive and dangerous space walk to fix.
What happens if something breaks on the telescope? How will we service this thing?
OMG ITS STILL NOT LAUNCHED YET
