Neil & NASA Explain James Webb's First Images

Scientists being excited about science is always the best!

What were your reactions to James Webb's first images?

My daughter is one of the Engineers that worked for Northrop Grumman on the JWST. Finally, so happy that we get to see these images.

As an engineer...mad respect to NASA engineers who solve problems you cant even replicate easily on earth

I found Chuck's "Old Man Hubble" impersonations incredibly amusing, and very interesting. But, remember, Hubble is still not out of it. Hubble can see frequencies that Webb can't. Making composites with data from both the several IR detectors on Webb and data in the visible from Hubble can still produce useful results.

Saw video where Neil was invited on a news channel to speak on these images but was given only 5 minutes to speak on them and was cut abruptly. Such a disservice to him and the universe. Glad to see him talk his heart out in this explainer. Love you Neil <3

Thank you on behalf of all engineers. Here in Germany, as engineers, we say our greatest praise is the silence when nobody complains.

StarTalk is absolutely fantastic. I'm finding the older I get, the more curious I am of the cosmos and the less I generally care about the smaller human problems. Keep up the great content! :)

This is such a great combination. Nicole, a full on expert on the matter on one side; Tyson, with his general knowledge of everything and great communication skills who knows what the public will understand from what Nicole is saying and what not; and then Chuck, knowing little about it but making great commentary and adding humor, as well as giving Tyson excuses to explain things for the public. So good. I love this show

I had the pleasure of working on JWST for about 13 years. Many long days, including weekends and many others that I worked with worked more. Congratulations to all NGC team members and our partners.
