Now the JWST is in its final setting up phase I thought that I would look at how and what the JWST uses to see the universe in the IR spectrum and what this means not only for for the search for exoplanets that might harbour life and even some form of advanced civilisation.

Fun fact about the heat shield: it doesn't simply try to reflect the heat back; the spacing and angle between the layers is designed to deflect the heat to the sides.
349 single points of failures during deployment of the heatshield and the mirror, sensors that need to be cooled colder than space itself and electronics in the harsh environment of deep space. Everyone made fun of the JWST because of the idiotic development chaos and the wildly blown budget - but now that it is there, everything went PERFECTLY so far and thanks to the mindblowing precision of the Ariane 5 it also gained a few additional years of operation. It doesn't get any better than that... 😃😎👍

Welcome back Paul, and thank you.
Welcome back Paul, hope you are well, great video as ever.
Thanks, Paul for the detailed breakdown of JWST that didn't go to far in the weeds of the incredible technologies that were created by the thousands of engineers who built this truly amazing telescope. You never fail in impressing me.
This is the first video I've seen that really helped me understand why the James Webb Space Telescope was so expensive. Sure, there were other factors that contributed to cost overruns, but the engineering that went into this device is mind-blowing.
If I enjoyed the video? You have no idea, this was such a treat. Great explanation, I will definitely watch it again soon. I really, really hope you will make more videos explaining how this absolut masterpiece of engineering works.
Just 2 days back I looked up for your channel to see if there were any new updates, and here you are. Great to see you back sir.
Can't wait to see what planets JWST will reveal. I'm very interested in the very first stars to form too.
I'm glad you're back Paul, keep up the awesome work
Hello Mr Shiilito! Truly happy to see a new video of yours. A super high quality work, on a very interesting item that nobody else tried to explain. Thank you very much! Regards, Anthony
Great to see you again, Paul! 😊 This video was absolutely staggering. The level of scientific genius that went into the JWST is simply jaw dropping! Thank you for the most comprehensive and illuminating episode on the subject I've ever seen.
Awesome to hear your voice again. Now let's see if I get blinded by a t-shirt design. This time is was but a relative benign design.
I love your work, and your shirts. It's always a good day when one of your videos pops up in my notifications!
Hope you are feeling great Paul and keep on keeping on. Been looking forward to your next video. One of my most favorite of all channels. Quality is absolutely always assured with Curious Droid.
The technology and the engineering in that thing baffles the mind.
Yay! You're back! Glad to see your videos in my feed again.
Great video, Paul, as usual! Thanks for this very comprehensive and easy-to-understand explanation of the Jame Webb!
Man, this channel is absolutely fantastic. Paul, you are one of the best researchers on YT. Cheers, mate!
There are so many videos about this topic, I was waiting for your video because you explain and cover everything and you always do quality clips Thanks for the video 👍
Very detailed and hugely informative video! Lots of great information! Thanks!
Great to see you back! I hope you are well!
I have looked for more info on the James Webb, thank goodness film makers like yourself put your heart into your work !
Presentations on this type of subject can hardly get any better than this. Well done!
Awesome video Paul! Thank you.
I get so excited that i make an appointment just to watch these videos without any interruptions. Good stuff!
Hope your feeling/doing better Paul.
Great to see you back Droid. Best wishes Mate.
It's wonderful to see you producing new videos, Paul!
Glad to see you back, Paul!! Very happy to see you!

Thanks, Phil, for elucidating further just how this wonder of technology is made to work. Love the detail.
It is and always will be such a pleasure to watch your amazing videos, my good sir. Thank you so much for producing these excellent videos!
You're looking great, dude! Awesome content. Hope this achievement in technology could make us understand better our universe
Good to see you back.

Great to see you back at it! Always look forward to your vids
Back at it!!! Good to see you brother.
always I learn a lot from you guys! thank you so much for extending our knowledge🙏🏻💖, keep on your excellent work❤❤
Paul, a wonderful description of what the JWST is and what is does. The technical discussion can keep a nerd like me happy, but apparently not swamp the more general public. Thank you.
Great to have you back Paul, with another fascinating video.
Great video, Paul. What excites me the most about JWST is the information it will reveal about *exoplanets.*
Was really missing you.. Made my day seeing new video from you. We know u are struggling with health issues.. Our prayers and wishes are with you.
That was a fantastic overview of the James Webb. Thank you!
Wonderful that you are back
For such a high tech subject very well explained, thanks. Are you able to do a vid on HOW physically the pixels on our hi res computers are accessed electrically. How are the multitude of connections made ? In the horizontal plane, vertical plane. I can understand control but how do you access the pixels in the middle of the screen! Hope you can I’ve enjoyed your videos for sometime
I was getting worried. I feel better now. Curious droid just posted a video. Paul is OK. All is good. Thanks for keeping me so exited about science and keeping at it! Take care!
Thanks for another gem of a video. Hope you're keeping well and the health is coming back.
Another very well explained video Paul, thank you.
Always amazing. I can click like before watching because I know it will be good.

G'day Paul, thank you so much for explaining how the JWST is made and what it can do. I've found the other info videos about it pretty much impenetrable. What an amazing deep space image; and that was just a ‘test shot’. And that stunning picture had to go through KZread then our ‘tin can and string’ NBN connection, down here in Tassie, and still it is jaw dropping in quality. It truly messes with what's left of this old codger's mind that we are now capable of seeing crystal clear images of light that are several billions of years old. Who needs a TARDIS; we've got a real, live time machine up there and we're looking into the past! When I was a kid, the 'amazing' sci-fi on our tiny, warm, B&W TV sets were models of pointy tipped cardboard spaceships and 'space men' dressed in silvery plastic space suits... and that was 'exciting fiction'. Then old Mr Bill Hartnell, usually at home playing crusty Sgts. in 'Carry On...' films became 'Dr Who'. We never saw pictures of the universe on TV back then, unless they were poor paintings on glass done by a production designer after looking in a science text book. What the JWST will be looking at, for me, will surpass any futuristic fiction of the 'Jet Jackson' days of the late 50s. We've got another 'European war' going on and just when one is about to give up all hope for humankind, we see technology from some super smart scientists and technicians who have worked to take us back in time to look into the 'future'. I hope this marks the real potential of us humans; not bickering or shooting one another with primitive projectile weapons. I really look forward to your videos, Paul. I may not understand 100 percent of the content but they make me happy and optimistic that, one day, although I might not be around to see such things; we can get out there among the stars and exoplanets. I also hope that somewhere similar groups of smart humans are working on propulsion systems that will get us into deep space. There is a lot to be excited about. Cheers, and thanks again! I truly hope you are feeling much better after your health issues and that you can keep an eye on JWST for us. I can’t wait to see more gob smacking images like, and even better than, that fantastic ‘teaser’ image. Bill
It's a good evening when you see a new video up and hear your voice!
This thing is a true testament to human ingenuity. Amazing.
I just love how detailed everything is explained
Glad to see a new video and hope you doing well. The JWST is fascinating.
As usual an excellent video....and as usual a stunning shirt.👍😁
Got to appreciate the level of technology and scientific knowledge mankind has accumulated to make this possible. Not to just see into the past but also further than ever and also identify atmospheres
What a fantastic presentation. So eloquent. Thank you!
You are a little late about mirror phasing, but this is the first video I saw that touches on detectors themselves, however briefly. Thanks! I suggest that viewers search YT for "The fascinating mechanism behind JWST's mirror" next, to learn about absolutely ingenious mechanism at the other end of the spectrum - purely mechanical actuators for mirror phasing, that manage to achieve both coarse and incredibly fine adjustments using only a single relatively garden variety stepper motor each.
Really interesting video Paul! Stay healthy
This is unbelievably exciting. What an amazing accomplishment.
JWST is an instrument I have now waited for 27 years to realize its potential.
Yay, the new Curious Droid video! He's back! (:
