Such a fan of Anton. So glad you gave him a shout out. He deserves it. The man publishes a video _every single day_ and it's all solid gold.

As a physicist who works for the contractor that made James Webb (NG), I’m still in awe at what this piece of engineering was able to accomplish. Truly a remarkable time for astrophysicist’s and cosmologists.

It's always nice to see one content creator you love shouting out another. PBS Space Time and Anton Petrov are my go-to. I appreciate Anton especially for how he not only doesn't sensationalize scientific studies in the manner that most media outlets seem to but actively seeks to correct their misrepresentations. He's a great science communicator among a lot of noise.

I may have an opportunity to work with the JWST next year, as part of my physics degree. The best part is that the project leader will have already done all the boring paperwork.

As a resident of Maryland, I would like to recognize my. former senator Barbara A. Mikulski, for whom the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (see 8:12 in the video) was named. This honor was in recognition of her support for the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes. In 2012, when NASA discovered an exploding star, they named it "Supernova Mikulski" in her honor. In addition to astronomy, she also supported biomedical research in Maryland.

The fact that anyone with enough knowledge and time can put in a proposal for exploring the universe just amazes me.
