I love how you built this video up. From the beginnings of discovering black holes and then understanding them (mostly) To now being humbled once again by these little red dots. No one beats your delivery, Anton!

At the Goddard Space Flight Center in 2017, Dr. John Mather pointed to the JWST and told me, _"Cosmologists are going to be very upset with what this thing finds."_ He seemed to relish that thought!😊

When you said "seven decades ago" and then said "the 1950s" I instantly felt old.

Excellent content! No fluff or unnecessary theory—just clear and concise explanations of JWST observations.
