What's perhaps most interesting to me is that the "false color" scheme used for JWST is different than that used for Hubble. Hubble played a huge role in determining how several generations of people think about what space "looks like." The new color scheme means that coming generations will have different ideas about what space looks like!

The layperson can get the gist of what he's saying, but he sprinkles enough technical terminology throughout his videos that those looking to gain a fuller understanding of what he's saying will be rewarded for doing additional research.

I didn’t even look at the new images until Scott released his inevitable take on it and boy was I not disappointed. I guarantee nobody else found multiple images of the “space cliffs” and slowly zoomed in to reveal the location and context. Top notch as usual. So amazing to think we have only a few images and they are already next level, and soon we will have thousands and thousands for years to come!

This is such relief to see JWST up and running and producing data. This was such a nerve wracking trip and the payoff will be enormous. Fingers crossed the whole mission will work out fine and we’ll get hundreds of these incredible images and observations.. thank you Scott for that deep dive into these deep images ;)

@@timc333 It is not beyond the ability of the mind to understand spacetime. It requires only a little training. The JWST is basically a photocamera: It records the image of what is there. It captures photons. Unlike most cameras it records in the infrared and more than just three wavelengths. But it is still just an image. What that image shows is the interesting part. You cannot see in the infrared, so you have to select the frequencies you are interested in and assign them colours that you can see, and you get a visible image showing dust, stars, galaxies, nebulae, whatever there is where it is at. Alternatively you pick a point and look at the entire spectrum on a curve. That tells you what is going on in that particular spot. Also interesting is if there are any changes over time. Now, where you see something is not necessarily where it really is. Take a mirror for example: It shows things where they are not. Gravitational lensing is similar. Light coming from a certain direction could have been bent, like in a lens. That's the "lensing" part of the name. One thing that bends light is gravity. That is the "gravitational" part of the name. There are several ways to explain how gravity bends light, and I don't want to go into that. Suffice to say that time progresses at different rates at different points, which is unintuitive, but the acceleration this causes is gravity, and the speed of light is a universal constant, so the only acceleration it can experience is a change in direction. This is probably more confusing than it should be. The upshot is that light going around huge masses, like black holes or galaxy clusters, originating behind them, gives you several distorted images from different perspectives of the same (originating) object. You get to see things you otherwise wouldn't in spots where they actually aren't. All because a massive clump of matter somewhere in the deep sky that is most likely not directly visible itself.

Best coverage of this image release so far. Well done!

Stunning. Thanks for explaining so clearly and in such an entertaining way. Greetings from back home in Britain

After all the doom and gloom that I was forcing into myself to not be disappointing... I was not expecting that. It's really impressive! And I think it can still do better?

Scott's excellent narrative and easy to understand explanations, are an absolute TREASURE!

Awesome break down of what we are seeing Scott...!!! Thank you ...!!!

Well done Scott! A great summary. I'm old, and while I've cherished my life as I've watched and participated as the space and technology eras have unfolded, I wish I could live decades longer to see where it all leads. What will we know with greater certainty in 20, 50 or 100 years? Amazing potential.

you're one hell of a content creator Sir. i don't know how long you took to make it, can't be very long as the photos just got released but i'm impressed. nice job. you and Musk ought to get together and discuss your common interests.

I have been patiently awaiting this video. Thank you.

Beautiful photos and great explanations! Thanks so much!

I've always wondered how they are able to tell how red shifted things are due to the dopler effect. I get the idea and concept but how do they tell the difference between hydrogen and another element if it has been shifted enough to match another element?

As I understand they don't Look only on Hydrogen but also to Others Elements (atleast Helium) and so you know die differents between Them.

@@mariankerler2134 yeah, it’s about the ratios, and the resonances (eg there’s always more than one spike for an element, and the specific resonant period to the next spike differs between elements). But some are certainly very close together like tungsten and gold. But still easily discernible if you’re expecting it.

The pattern of lines is very specific to the element, because it depends on all the electrons in the atom and the distribution of electric charge they are moving in. And if the atom is part of a molecule, that will affect things as well, especially when you get way into the infrared.

I'm not an expert, but I'd say it's because there are known patterns. Even one element has multiple lines of emission in a particular configuration, and elements will have fixed positions relative to each other. The degree of red shift of an object is only a single parameter. I've not done it, but I shouldn't think it's very difficult. I suspect those familiar with it could look at a spectrogram and immediately spot known emission lines without looking at the x-axis.

Mind boggling that humans can launch a semi autonomous robot that far into space without something breaking.

Just the difference of knowing 8 weeks in advance you need something, or just figuring it out last week can add so much extra costs and disruption on a program.

Been waiting for something about JWST from you!

Thank you mr. Manley for taking your time to explain us these space images

One star in the "cosmic cliff" looks more like a comet, with a tail only on one side. I wonder how that happens? Maybe that star is travelling through the nebula at high speed and wasn't part of the star formation there. I hope I hear about that one some more in the future.

Can you make a vide comparing all sls blocks;s (1, 1b, 2) thrust, power, and design with other superheavy rockets? I have seen other videos on the internet comparing 1 to 1b but I would enjoy one of all the proposed concepts. I know it is unlikely for you to notice this but I thought it was neat.

Scott you always deliver the best videos about these kind of things! Thank you so much! I loved the comparison between hubble and webb in the galaxy cluster. I remember seeing that image when hubble took it and my mind was blown by the warping of light. Exciting times for sure!

Scott, Thank you so much for your amazing assessment of the science behind it all. ✨

qq, has anyone mentioned how the meteor impact to one of the mirrors has affected image quality? Looking at the images we have, seems like it was not a big deal

If you go to Dr. Becky Smethurst's videos you will find an analysis of that impact. In short, this is expected and can be calibrated against for the predicted scope of impacts.

It was a micrometeorite. A meteor impact would have completely destroyed the whole telescope.

Do you think by the time it stops working that it will have collected enough data to help determine the shape of the universe, given the current consensus is it’s flat?

Let’s agree first what the current consensus is. The universe appears flat but the error of measurement is about 1%. To proclaim that the universe is REALLY flat your error would have to be ZERO which simply can’t be achieved. Because there will always be an error it is doubtful JWST can shed more light on it except perhaps reducing the error somewhat.
