Remarkable achievements on so many levels. I'm so awestruck by the audaciousness of the project,  the innovative approaches to technology, and the incredible crispness of the images. I'm eagerly awaiting  to see what new discoveries will be revealed, and what new mysteries will be uncovered by this colossal effort..

Five days later, I watched the PBS live presentation. Once I finished watching, I thought, "What would Brian Greene and the World Science Festival tell us about this?" Then voilà, YouTube fed me your video. Thank you so much for the work you do to bring science to the world at large.

My husband worked with a team that made those hexagonal lenses in the Bay Area. They made them around the clock. Amazing to see the outcome of that work, spectacular!!
