    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.

    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... 😃😎👍

    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 RUclips 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
