Once, after delivering re-rations to a ranch in Montana so that they could be delivered to a NOLS class by horsepackers, I'd come close to reaching my maximum allowed driving time (I was a commercially-license driver). So, I drove to a high area in the mountains near Dell, Montana and settled in for the night in the bed of my pickup truck. I was at least twenty-five miles (40 km) from the nearest highway or electric lighting. As I lay in my sleeping bag with my dog pacing around the truck bed on bear patrol, there was nothing else to do but gaze at the stars. Among the countless stars in the black sky, I immediately noticed the magnificent arc of the Milky Way stretching across the sky from the southwest to the northeast. I'll not soon forget that night.

As a science communicator - it may be worth future-you pointing out the Earth's seasonal tilt is only an apparent tilt relative to the Sun, due to the position in our orbit. I.e. the position of the celestial pole (North Star approx) does not change with respect to the seasons. As a kid, being told seasons are due to the Earth's tilt, I always imagined Earth tilting back and forth through the seasons - It does not. Great vid. Love the channel. Big fan. Cheers!

As a kid in the 60s I could see so many stars and planets with the naked eye, now the area has grown so much and I moved 15 miles closer to Detroit Michigan and you cant hardly see anything because of the light pollution. Hopefully here in a couple months ill be moving 35 miles south/west and we'll be in the country, we still will get the light pollution but nothing like my current residence.

I stayed up to see the Lunar occultation of Saturn on June 27th - from Brisbane, Australia I could see Saturn emerging from behind the moon, right on schedule at 11:47pm. The clouds cleared 15 minutes either side of this event, and it was just spectacular to see the rings peek out, then half a Saturn over the darkened edge of the Moon, and then the whole planet rose over the edge of the Moon in just a couple of minutes. Definitely a sight you don't see every day!!! :) It was also my first look at Saturn and his nearly-edge-on rings for this season's apparition. Absolutely awesome.

I still think it’s amazing the light we see actually made it through the labyrinth of everything solid between the thing producing the light and our telescopes. The farther away the more amazing that is.

Welcome 👋

13:45 sounds like the sensor is overvolting. we have had a lot of spaceweather in the last few months, perhaps some of the circuits have modified impedance? not sure if they are able to control the individual voltaic units in the solar panels but if they can they should experiment with switching some squares off to create striped or latticed patterns on either of the cells with a shallow angle of orientation or perhaps an asymmetric/bias of active : inactive voltaic cells across both panels, orientated optimally. this would adjust the impedance of the frame and perhaps correct the sensor problem. another way to confirm it is a voltage ramp problem would be to orientate panels and telescope separately in small portions or perhaps 50% each across any axis being transitioned.

Hi, great video! I can say already that the referees had only minor comments and none about the distance to the two galaxies (the record breaker, and a second galaxy, also a record breaker at z=13.9). Very often, in the video, we see the spectrum of the second, fainter galaxy, not of the record breaker. The spectrum of GS-z14-0 is really high S/N -- and these were only 9 hours. To put it in perspective, the previous record breaker, GS-z13-0, was observed for 28 hours to be able to confirm its redshift!

Thanks for another great video Dr. Becky. How do we know that the universe is expanding at the same rate everywhere and how do we know that the rate hasn't slowed down or speeded up over time?

I agree with you, on apparent age, of that galaxy, and others????? There are enough, that make cosmologists start to rethink long held theories!!!!! My old co-worker's son, being one of them. Best wishes all.

That old galaxy is amazing. Have we looked in the opposite 'cardinal direction' to see if there's something the same distance opposite? Not sure if cardinal direction works in space, but hopefully it makes the point

Hi, Dr. Becky. I've watched your videos for years, but have rarely (if ever) replied. That said, I find your knowledge and solid presentations of new discoveries at the forefront of astronomy and cosmology strangely consoling in these seemingly atavistic times of human evolution (Homo Ignoramus Imbecilicus?). In any case, science in general and your intelligent interpretation of objective reality is, somehow, a great comfort. So, thank you for that. Let us hope civilisation survives for a decade or two.

the issues with Starliner can probably be summed up with one word Boeing. when you said Hubble was old at 32 I was hurt, I remember when it started sending images. Burping sun, I get like that when I have fizzy drinks

I have never seen anything close to that like the image at the start. I really need to see it before I die... =)

To quote Grandmaster Flash "Don't push me I'm close to the edge, I'm trying not to loose my head". That galaxy is so red shifted it's almost in the IR !! 13.4 Billion light years is WAY out there on the edge, blows my mind. WEB is a stunning success so far, worth every Dollar - Euro. Watching WEB lift off on Ariane-5 was emotional and hugely satisfying. Great reporting Dr. Becky, much appreciated.

I'm glad to hear you pronounce it App-Helion. There was a thread on CloudyNights debating whether it should be app-helion of a-felion, as some dictionary/pronunciation sites say. I think most astronomy people would say app-helion, similar to apogee, whereas dictionaries may say afelion, similar to the ph in elephant and telephone, blindly pronouncing the ph in a standardized way, perhaps even computer generated without any human input.

As an absolute layman, I'm likely to be way off here - please feel free to explain what I'm missing....here's my question regarding the formation of "the oldest galaxy" featured here.. Assuming the big bang did happen the way described in literature where the universe expands at a rate unconstrained by C, creating the fabric of spacetime in the process, why is it assumed that time runs at its currently observed rate, or even uniformly? It is known that time passes at different rates around planets, and the extreme warping of spacetime around massive objects such as black holes can cause time dilation. So, what could result in a more extreme warping of spacetime than it's very creation? When it's said "our models can't explain how something could be so evolved in X years," are they accounting for the fact that, if even for a portion of the object's existence, the "local" time could have been running at a very different rate with respect to the other regions of the universe thus resulting in the object/region in question being further evolved than expected? Please let the inevitable holes in my understanding be filled, it's bugging me! :-D

I'm guessing the reason they are running Hubble with 1 instead of 2 gyros is so they have another gyro on standby if this one fails. The story about the oldest galaxy seen is so cool. The fact that they keep finding these ancient huge galaxies really looks like they will contribute to very interesting new physics. So cool!

The issue with Starliner is the service module that sits on the back end of Starliner. The reason for the delay is because the service module is jettisoned before reentry so none of that hardware is returning intact to earth. So they are taking the extra time to test as much as they can so that the next revision can be fixed. Starliner is still able to return safely, they just want to get all the data they can before they return.

I really like the fact that you can notice a difference in size of the Sun's disc between January and July. It seems like a big enough difference that it could have been detected in the time of Galileo and Kepler or even earlier - was this phenomenon known in the early modern era, or even in the ancient world?
