I'm so humbled. As I age, my understanding of how lucky I am to be able to drink in all of this freely expressed knowledge is not lost upon me. I hope to still be alive to witness the James Webb telescope achieving orbit, and finally giving us a better vision and understanding of our universe. If you're reading this, you should understand how lucky you are to be alive right now. In no other time in history have people been so free to understand so much without reprisal. Remember, Galileo was imprisoned for a day, and then had his sentence commuted to house arrest for the rest of his life for writing that the earth orbited the sun. The more I know, the more I want to know. Thank you, Dr Summers, for sharing this in depth explanation of what we're all looking at. I'm nearing retirement, but I believe I'll be more busy than ever with my cameras. I love night sky photography, and comparing last year's photos to this year's. It gets me out of the house, and into dark zones around the country. I hope I can travel to Canada again someday (covid-19) and photograph the northern lights from Yellowknife. I've been there twice, and a third time would be nice!
Every age has it's perils and this one is no different. But yeah, it's very very cool to see so much data and visuals from space. One of the perils of are time is killing the wonder by prescribing reality - speaking about the frontiers of science in a way that is 100% certain. Dr. Becky on youtube even mentioned in an interview that she read books as a child about space and felt that we already knew everything about it... Only as a teen did she learn that we don't know much about any of it. I hear NDT and other popular celebrities talk about this stuff as if it's all for sure... There is no way, no flippin way, that we can sit on our asses and simply know everything we say we do about the universe. THAT is dangerous. Keep the mystery alive, there is always always something more to learn.
At 65, I think.. I lost count. I too am happy about the time I live in. Also because of my history lessons at school I must say this. No matter which religious entity should start to assume power, they must be put down or they will cause another stagnation and a return to the dark ages and science and society will face the same burning at the stake of anyone who doesn't conform to their crazy religious ideas. Over 50 million people lost their lives for failing to exactly conform to what ever religious jingle their bell rang.
I love space, it's literally the most interesting thing about our small reality on Earth. It's so big it's unimaginable, and the forces and energies taking place out in space effect far more than we understand. It's so fun to ponder what's out there, especially realllly far away.
@Yamile Magubeni in the last few years of my life, I've changed my perspective on nature/life on earth, I view all that how I would if we found it anywhere else in the universe, I respect it much more.
@@dunruden9720 craziest thing I've ever heard was Brian Cox(sp?) Explaining how telescopes use light to see objects really far away, and that they can actually look SOOOO FAR away, and technically sooo far back in time, that they hit a wall that they can't see past because it's so far back in time that Suns hadn't even been created yet to produce light.
I watched a video on the expansion of the universe vs what's visible the other day. The universe is way bigger than I ever could've imagined. If all of this is what we can see, then there's a unfathomable amount we can't. It's hard to conceptualize when all you do is think in feet and miles.
I find it hard to conceptualize all the factors. While we're seeing into the past, there has also been distance traveled by these objects as well as the time itself it took for them to reach these distances. So what I'm saying is I'm not getting the whole picture since not being a physics major means an inability to calculate how this all fits together - time, space, distance. If the universe is truly expanding faster as time continues and these objects are so far away we are only now seeing the light from them, then it leads one to believe we are only witness to a remarkably microscopic amount of what is really out there.
Best presentation of the deep field image I have seen. When you look at how vast the universe is, it's hard not to believe that there must be a ton of life out there in each galaxy alone.

True. They say that a person who is truly and genuinely knowledgeable about something ,Is a person who can explain something In the Absolute simplest Possible way,

You don't have to be a genius or "Mensa smart" to earn a PhD, you just have to have the time, energy, funding and drive to spend those extra years in school. :) There are many geniuses out there with Masters degree's who just couldn't fathom another 8 ish years of school when their field was perfectly suited to "only" holding a Masters. Many Engineers are whip smart, but you don't see a lot of PhD holders in that profession.
It's so wonderful to come across a well made, informative video without a bunch of extraneous bullshit like music and tons of editing and bad graphics. More videos like this please!
Blows my mind. I don't get why people "research" conspiracy theory crap when real life, real scientific knowledge, is more amazing than any of the crap they can fool themselves into thinking is important.
Nice, that's quite possibly the smartest call me I've read in the past minute no pun intended LOL... the real question is if what I say red and have commented on just a past comment or does it still exist in the past?
The only possible way for a civilization to show the rest of the universe that they exist would be to blow up the black hole at the center of a galaxy and cause civilizations advanced enough to observe it to see it flash billions of years later.
Actually about in 2000 a group astronomers theorized based on the average time of 'spontaneous creation' [creation of life from non-life sources ie: what happened on earth] civilizations are being created and going thru their 'life cycle [birth > self destruction or death from food or fuel depletion or some other calamity] at predictable rate somewhere in the range of .00000000000000000000000001 x per star. [Needed for initial heat] assuming they're curious as we are, because of the predictably unimaginable great distances between each other, and the relatively 'slow' speed of light; it would be virtually impossible for them to ever become aware of each other in real time unless one or coth of them solved one or both of these following issues: had an average life span of at LEAST 1,000 years, or could travel a MINIMUM of 1000 x the speed of light! They likened it to bugs: a bug can only travel in it's average life span no more than ten miles AT BEST in it's life span. So a bug in Boston could never communicate in ANY form with a bug in Seattle. They both would be in the same 'galaxy' north america; but completely unable to be aware if each other. So they theorize we surely have intergalactic 'neighboors but each of us have : no phones:
Just came across this and couldn’t help see the similarity with the physical appearance of galaxies and hurricanes as seen on satellite over the course of their development…the symmetry of things in the universe is uncanny. Great series, thanks!
@@dtennow Yea, I am frustrated every time it gets delayed... I would like to know how a global pandemic is affecting its progress?!?! I soooooo look forward to seeing over 14B years into the past!
Apparently this video is from 2011. Wonder if that new infra-red James Webb telescope is ready to show us that the universe is really more than 13.7 billion years old. I bet it does.
I've been having a hard time understanding the whole idea of how we could see into the past. You finally have explained it to me in a way I can fully understand and grasp. Thank you so much !
This was so good, you made it so interesting, I now understand what it means when I hear others talking about the Hubble and distant space time thank you.
Intrigued (and confused) by a Brian Cox doco and had to know more. Thank you for explaining this I feel like I finally “get” what Hubble is all about. Really well done, makes me appreciate how incredible the advances are that we are making in our neverending quest to understand space time... something truly inspirational about humankind to remember and ever more poignant in this pandemic geo-political mess we find ourselves in that brings out the worst of us
I applaud you brilliant minds. Thank you for all your dedication to these discoveries and teaching us who not the field of study as much. So much love for all the hard work over all the many centuries. Thank you all.
The thing is, if it really was a long time ago, this galaxy would be highly unlikely to be so advanced. This is because the planets would be young, and evolution on these planets would be in their infancy. Thus, the phrase really should read: "A mere moment ago, in a galaxy far, far away."
Mar d and if u would be able to fly faster than light u could see everything that happens on earth u could find out who murdered someone or smth that’s cool I think
Mar d and misleading, it is ‘like’ looking back in time. Like an airliner overhead, you hear it from where it was a few seconds before, is that ‘hearing back in time’ or ‘like hearing back in time’
I know me too these galaxies were looking at that light there giving off traveled to us the same number of its distance say for example the deep field shot images from 1 billion light years away that means those colors and lights are what the galaxies looked like 1 billion years ago... so crazy sometimes I think looking at stars up in the sky at night is more precious than money job routines of life I wanna go to a non light polluted place and see the milky way with the naked eye that truly fascinates me and the andromeda galaxy this guys talking about with the naked eye you could see it I only looked it up on Google images like its purplish but man 2.5 million lights years away means that light from there is 2.5 million years old
Thank you Dr. Frank Summers for your introduction to the Deep Field discoveries provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as your remarks anticipating how the James Webb Telescope will extend our knowledge of the very early formation of galaxies and our universe. As I marveled at how much we have learned, I was also struck by the joy you exuded in sharing these discoveries with us. To watch you, to sense your excitement as you shared your knowledge, was inspiring. With so much pessimism and strife occurring now in our country, it's nice to know we are still producing scientists who excite and motivate us all to look forward.
True, how I wish these were available when I was growing up. I might have chosen Cosmology as my career... The universe is enormously enlightening compared with all the mundane things we do in our daily lives!
Same here Space is always been my hobby. It would be nice to make a career of it. It is so hard to understand if the space is infinity or closed system. But waiting James Webb launching...then we know more. Information increases all the time nowadays. We live unbelievable times.
You don't want to understand... It's all bullshit speculation! Anyone can produce spotted pictures and tell you whatever they want. "Look! Here's what we've discovered that will NEVER be validated..." Just like everything else... No need to get sucked into the lie. There's no point, there's no end and there is nothing you can do with the information...
AJ Beamer shut the fuck up with your skepticism, its all up to you that what you can make with the information, they are your limitations so speak for yourself.
9/7/2020 totally blown away with this presentation . Watched on my way home from work on bus and found it fascinating. So much to think about but will never understand the enormity of space. That man was so dam good and obviously knows his stuff
Amazing the amount of crap you can find on the internet and on RUclips, and on the opposite side, the amount of knowledge packed in this video. It just blows my mind to see how differently you can spend 30 minutes of your life. Thank you for all the knowledge.
This is so fake man, explain this to me how can u see another Galaxy while being inside one? Example: try to see the forest in the next country while standing in one,... Its impossible since alle the Trees Will block the sight, SAME with the stars, each Galaxy contains millions if not billions of stars and these Guys think they can see thousands of galaxys..... Yeah right. Its impossible, there are billions of stars blocking the sight how can u see????
@@glenn967 Yeah, because the universe really looks like the forest near your house, obviously... These stars and galaxies are so far from each other that it has NOTHING to do with your forest analogy, even with billions of them. Plus, Hubble doesn't look through the "forest". It is not aimed to the center of the milky way, which is a bit crowded, but instead to a more "empty" space, looking for things outside of the "forest" nearby
It's unbelievable. We live in strange, but also amazing times, I think. I've bought a telescope (a small one) in the last year. It is great to look at the sky at night and explore the miracles of our galaxy. I don't need a telly.
If there ever was a project by the US that was worth every penny it has got to be the Hubble telescope, Voyager 1 & 2 spacecrafts. Worth their weight in gold!
PS: The closer galaxies we see aren't necessarily younger than the distant galaxies. In reality they may be around the same age and look similar to ours, but appear older/different to us the viewer because of their relative distance from us and the time it takes their light to reach us. Literally looking back through time, cool 😎
Seeing this video, I feel so bad for the delays the James Webb telescope has gone through. Think about all the data it could have collected by now. The narrator explains the Webb telescope will launch by the end of the decade meaning by 2020, yet it is still delayed. Hoping it launches successfully and we gain more insight into the universe.
I have 2 questions, Which I set for others. ??. what if a malfunction occurs on the telescope, (WEB space Telescope) who will go to that distance to FIX it or is it impossible in the near future, as well as how to clean the mirrors from space dust and the like ?? Thx for answer if it's possible..! Best regards from Canada. 👍🍷💕🍹🌿👌
Good questions! The James Webb Space Telescope is located at L2 (the second Lagrange Point), which is in DEEP space, about 900,000 miles from the earth........roughly 650,000 miles beyond the moon. This is far beyond the current limit of manned space flight capability. So there is no possibility of fixing anything that goes wrong with the James Webb hardware. (The Hubble Space Telescope on the other hand could be fixed and upgraded by manned servicing missions, since it's in low earth orbit at a distance of only about 340 miles.) The deployment of the James Webb heat shield, secondary mirror, and segmented primary mirror in space (on its way to L2) was a big risk for example, since a mechanical failure in those operations would have been disastrous to the mission. But it was the only way that the huge telescope could be built, launched, and deployed. There's actually not much dust nor very many micro-meteoroids at L2 which could damage or otherwise compromise the telescope and its big primary mirror. (There's none of the man-made space junk that litters low earth orbit BTW.) NASA has calculated that there WILL be some dust and a few micro-meteroid impacts which will contact the primary mirror during its working life, but none that will seriously damage it. For a good discussion of how the James Webb is hardened to avoid damage in space, Google "How Hardy is Webb." That will bring up a NASA website that discusses the subject in detail, including the issue of dust and micro-meteoroid impacts.
@@Dannys-mb5xy Thank you friend for such an exhaustive answer ..I just wanted to know.! I follow new pictures from JWST every day ... which fascinate me. I asked the same question on many pages and you answered me .. Thank you for that and I will shoot BIG LIKE on your channel ,also I will be happy to subscribe ok. I will explain to my followers in our language what is happening with JWST .Thx and best regards from Canada.👌🍁🍹🌎💕✌
Space and the sky are amazing. You can make incredibly small portions of the sky and look at microscopic spots but you will notice that it contains an infinity of stuff. It is deductible from basic optics but amazingly represented here. It's like a concrete exemple of uncountable infinities.
This universe never ceases to amaze me . Thank you for explaining so clearly and in layman’s language. It was intriguing and interesting. Have watched a few of these documentaries by other astronomers and astrophysics, but ended up more confused . Yours was so well put together and explained so well with great examples.
@@rebeltvr6046 according to The One True Science. There is only one and only one universe that can inhibit one definite space at a time. The stretching of space-time expanding the flat four corner of the universe is what we call the quantum gag reflex. So long as this expansion or inflation exist there are no posibble way for one universe to bump in with each other universe in order to start a chain reaction to gave birth to a new universe.
This is my quote to his teaching :if the beginning of the universe is seen in the deep space all around us and were seeing the light as it was just after the big bang, surely that would make the big bang come from all around us and not from a central point. This makes no sense. Do you get what i mean? It really sounds like the stars were all created at the same time and the light has taken that amount of time to get here. Unless the Universe is much older we cannot see the beginning in every direction as that would make the big bang start at here on Earth. This is a joke. If we were nearer these distant galaxies in the past during the big bang then we would have seen them age over time as the got further away, where this thory says they would not of aged over time but stayed young etc... just impossible. Oh and if we were closer to the farthest galxies in the past then the light would not have taken so long to get here. Does anything add up in this video?
JesusSuperLight Chris There is plenty that makes sense. The galaxies far away show up red because the spectrum stretches with the growth of the galaxy. This guy has put things in great perspective. You're upset because you're taking the bible literally word for word which is absurd. There's no need to have science and knowledge of our chemical makeup, and religion to be mutually exclusive. Muslims used to save this math and science while the Christians imprisoned Gallilao for his math and scientific advancements. Retarded ISIS are doing quite the opposite.
TazeMeBro McCleskey im not upset at all. Just trying to get my head around it, I have explained how the stars cannot be early near the big bang. Another guy has said they are actually 5 billion because of the space expansion. Personally I think they could easily just been created where they are, the distant galaxies look very similar. And if they are 5 million miles away then this guy or science is very confused
JesusSuperLight Chris For any observer from anywhere in the universe it would appear to the they were from the center of the universe - because every part of the universe would have come from the big bang. No matter which direction we look, the farther out into space we would look the closer we would get to seeing the beginning of the universe. We can only see into the past no matter the direction.
david harris but if your on the very edge you would have a black void on one side. Anyway in photos shown I'm not convinced that we are seeing the edge, it might be the observable edge dropping off or maybe they needed a little more time to collect light. But certainly lots of stars in the furthest away photos showing up white and blue also which is strange that they are not all red and have not suffered from the red shift. Must be bright.
Magnificent. In my summary, and I had to replay some parts of the video, I gather the farther and less visible the galaxies the younger they are because their lights have not even shown yet. It’s such an awkward logic, but is the logic behind the universe expanding as we speak.
The James Webb telescope is coming soon. Imagine what we're going to see, actually scratch that, I'm sure no one could predict what amazing images its going to uncover.
They will find, as they always do with new techniques and instruments, that everything this guy just said is rubbish. (I caught him making up stuff, but it really did sound good.) Point of fact: When I grew up watching PBS the universe was 20 bn years old. Hard cold fact. If you didn't believe it you were ostracized professionally. 100% of Darwin's origin of Species has been rubbished by subsequent science. Interesting, eh? Now, discuss among yourselves...
@@ashemgold still this is an improvement.. so more of it now is truth.. there’ll be better information and clarification in the future maybe even corrections .. but there will always be room for improvement with these complex topics. Just like how medicine is improving and even though we have better medicine, back then there were some things that were true that are still relevant today.
I’m at 4:40 am. I need to sleep. Saving this til later in the morning when I wake up so I can watch. But I am 10 second in and subbed. Goodnight and thank you for your work.

I’m somewhat drunk (rare for me) and therefore compromised intellectually but still … I like this presenter and the content of course. The Hubble Ultra/Deep field is such a landmark use of a tool by humanity, it deserves to be taught at schools.
I totally love how you explain things in simple ways, so that even blonds like me will understand. Being able to do that is a sign of a really good teacher. Thank you.
Omg!!!! After years and years of trying to understand lightyears... I FINALLY get it!!!! Thank u so much for explaining it in layman's terms!!!!! Now I get it!!!!!!
So urlifeisvile, what is the speed of light, and how far can it travel in a year? You should be able to figure this out in just a few months, given you already understand a lightyear.
I love when geniuses tell jokes (the one he told about going to the nearest star to our sun to avoid the current presidency). He chuckled to himself for veering from his genius to reveal the absurdity of humour. What a guy.
Hubble Is By Far The Best Observation Platform That Mankind Has Ever Built. The Mistake That Was Made When Making The Lens Was A Godsend. The Software That Was Made To Correct Its Vision Made The Telescope See Farther Than It Was Intended!!!
I love this video... it is so beyond incredible to realize how insignificant out little planetary existence is...the things we think are SO important.... some people can divorce science from spirituality but I always find this incredible loving fascinating creator in science whether I'm studying the fantastic microcosm of biochemistry or the mind numbing macrocosm of the cosmos. and we figured out a way to see 13 billion light years ago, just amazing
@@paulnash3747 Who thinks that our universe is infinitely large? There are different methods of measurement being theorized which give different theoretical sizes, but infinite isn't one. We are hindered by how far we can observe so beyond that is unknown.
The best video! How small we are… we are a corn of dust in the far far space…. Why we are destroy our only home? From nowhere comes help to help us for us himself…

Ever since i was a kid.. astronomers always said: there are more stars in the universe that grains of sand on all the beaches.. one said at the end of the 2020 there are more GALAXIES in the universe than there are grains of sands on all the beaches.. i cant comprehend that number ,, it hurts to try ..
I just found this site. I am 73 and love looking at the Hubble site. Now I found you! So grateful. I am so excited to be hearing you explain what I am seeing. I will now watch more. Classes from my home base! I hope I am still around when the new stronger telescope arrives. This gives me more faith hope and trust seeing all that light and perfection. Thank you! 😊
Hey Joolz, I hope you're around too. I know what you mean. Me and my Dad used to look at the night sky in amazement and wonder about all those millions and billions and trillions of stars. He's gone now but I'm waiting for the JWST to start bringing us its images so that I can spend time viewing them and reminiscing about my Dad and what he unfortunately will never get to see.

Even though I already know most of this stuff, it still amazes me every time I hear it.
Blows my mind. I don't get why people "research" conspiracy theory crap when real life, real scientific knowledge, is more amazing than any of the crap they can fool themselves into thinking is important.

@@brighter22 let’s not forget we our Hubble telescope can’t reach where the light ends so there’s gotta be more or maybe the universe is infinite.
@@Brett_S_420 Agreed.
Best presentation ever--clear, riveting, informative, without distracting effects or annoying music.
When I started watching this video and finished watching it in its entirety; looking back in time, I was at a distance of 31:23 minutes ago!!
Nice, that's quite possibly the smartest call me I've read in the past minute no pun intended LOL... the real question is if what I say red and have commented on just a
past comment or does it still exist in the past?
minutes is not a measure of distance, just time. then again space and time belong together so idk
The universe is so big that even if there is millions of civilizations its just so big its almost impossible for anyone to know !
The only possible way for a civilization to show the rest of the universe that they exist would be to blow up the black hole at the center of a galaxy and cause civilizations advanced enough to observe it to see it flash billions of years later.
Maybe that’s nature looking out for us. We are too far apart to ever interact with each other so no species will ever subjugate another.
really fast!! I absolutely agree with you! Just keep watching these type of programs.
@@jeffbernstein4369 thats not how it works buddy we would still see past in time.
Actually about in 2000 a group astronomers theorized based on the average time of 'spontaneous creation' [creation of life from non-life sources ie: what happened on earth] civilizations are being created and going thru their 'life cycle [birth > self destruction or death from food or fuel depletion or some other calamity] at predictable rate somewhere in the range of .00000000000000000000000001 x per star. [Needed for initial heat] assuming they're curious as we are, because of the predictably unimaginable great distances between each other, and the relatively 'slow' speed of light; it would be virtually impossible for them to ever become aware of each other in real time unless one or coth of them solved one or both of these following issues: had an average life span of at LEAST 1,000 years, or could travel a MINIMUM of 1000 x the speed of light! They likened it to bugs: a bug can only travel in it's average life span no more than ten miles AT BEST in it's life span. So a bug in Boston could never communicate in ANY form with a bug in Seattle. They both would be in the same 'galaxy' north america; but completely unable to be aware if each other. So they theorize we surely have intergalactic 'neighboors but each of us have : no phones:
Dr. Summers is very a very good presenter. Very informative. Good show.
Just came across this and couldn’t help see the similarity with the physical appearance of galaxies and hurricanes as seen on satellite over the course of their development…the symmetry of things in the universe is uncanny. Great series, thanks!

Hats off to Hubble, so much out there to take in.

Apparently this video is from 2011. Wonder if that new infra-red James Webb telescope is ready to show us that the universe is really more than 13.7 billion years old. I bet it does.
They've almost got the CGI photos and fiction ready. Good things take time. Patience.

This was so good, you made it so interesting, I now understand what it means when I hear others talking about the Hubble and distant space time thank you.
Makes me want to watch the movie Contact again.
Intrigued (and confused) by a Brian Cox doco and had to know more. Thank you for explaining this I feel like I finally “get” what Hubble is all about. Really well done, makes me appreciate how incredible the advances are that we are making in our neverending quest to understand space time... something truly inspirational about humankind to remember and ever more poignant in this pandemic geo-political mess we find ourselves in that brings out the worst of us
I knew of most of this stuff but I still could not stop watching! What a great video.
I applaud you brilliant minds. Thank you for all your dedication to these discoveries and teaching us who not the field of study as much. So much love for all the hard work over all the many centuries. Thank you all.
hence, "A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away…"
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."*
Yeah... This kind of gives a bit of a new perspective on "far, far away." ;-)
The thing is, if it really was a long time ago, this galaxy would be highly unlikely to be so advanced. This is because the planets would be young, and evolution on these planets would be in their infancy. Thus, the phrase really should read: "A mere moment ago, in a galaxy far, far away."

@@craigcooper8593 you are hearing the sound of the past , if your in the plane you are hearing the present sound or close sound , it seems more real
I know me too these galaxies were looking at that light there giving off traveled to us the same number of its distance say for example the deep field shot images from 1 billion light years away that means those colors and lights are what the galaxies looked like 1 billion years ago... so crazy sometimes I think looking at stars up in the sky at night is more precious than money job routines of life I wanna go to a non light polluted place and see the milky way with the naked eye that truly fascinates me and the andromeda galaxy this guys talking about with the naked eye you could see it I only looked it up on Google images like its purplish but man 2.5 million lights years away means that light from there is 2.5 million years old
This is the most amazing video I've ever watched in my life. Explains the universe perfectly!
The best 30 minutes of my time spent learning about space ..blows my mind
The universe for dummies…and really fantastic presentation in perfectly simple terms for a very complex issue. Kudos!
Thank you Dr. Frank Summers for your introduction to the Deep Field discoveries provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as your remarks anticipating how the James Webb Telescope will extend our knowledge of the very early formation of galaxies and our universe. As I marveled at how much we have learned, I was also struck by the joy you exuded in sharing these discoveries with us. To watch you, to sense your excitement as you shared your knowledge, was inspiring. With so much pessimism and strife occurring now in our country, it's nice to know we are still producing scientists who excite and motivate us all to look forward.
Thank you, and you're welcome.
True, how I wish these were available when I was growing up. I might have chosen Cosmology as my career...
The universe is enormously enlightening compared with all the mundane things we do in our daily lives!

Best astronomy lesson ever & the perfect teacher, keep up the good work.
Amazing the amount of crap you can find on the internet and on RUclips, and on the opposite side, the amount of knowledge packed in this video. It just blows my mind to see how differently you can spend 30 minutes of your life. Thank you for all the knowledge.

This is so fake man, explain this to me how can u see another Galaxy while being inside one? Example: try to see the forest in the next country while standing in one,... Its impossible since alle the Trees Will block the sight, SAME with the stars, each Galaxy contains millions if not billions of stars and these Guys think they can see thousands of galaxys..... Yeah right. Its impossible, there are billions of stars blocking the sight how can u see????
@@glenn967 Yeah, because the universe really looks like the forest near your house, obviously...
These stars and galaxies are so far from each other that it has NOTHING to do with your forest analogy, even with billions of them.
Plus, Hubble doesn't look through the "forest". It is not aimed to the center of the milky way, which is a bit crowded, but instead to a more "empty" space, looking for things outside of the "forest" nearby
It's unbelievable. We live in strange, but also amazing times, I think. I've bought a telescope (a small one) in the last year. It is great to look at the sky at night and explore the miracles of our galaxy. I don't need a telly.
If there ever was a project by the US that was worth every penny it has got to be the Hubble telescope, Voyager 1 & 2 spacecrafts. Worth their weight in gold!
The Mars rovers, Casini, Kepler, Venera program, COBE/WMAP/Planck; the list goes on.
PS: The closer galaxies we see aren't necessarily younger than the distant galaxies. In reality they may be around the same age and look similar to ours, but appear older/different to us the viewer because of their relative distance from us and the time it takes their light to reach us. Literally looking back through time, cool 😎
Seeing this video, I feel so bad for the delays the James Webb telescope has gone through. Think about all the data it could have collected by now. The narrator explains the Webb telescope will launch by the end of the decade meaning by 2020, yet it is still delayed. Hoping it launches successfully and we gain more insight into the universe.
it's launched, first images will be around june i think.

@@elvijsbarzdins7993 you really expect somebody with Saturn V moon rocket to believe in the flat earth cult? Learn sarcasm mate.
I have 2 questions, Which I set for others. ??. what if a malfunction occurs on the telescope, (WEB space Telescope) who will go to that distance to FIX it or is it impossible in the near future, as well as how to clean the mirrors from space dust and the like ?? Thx for answer if it's possible..! Best regards from Canada. 👍🍷💕🍹🌿👌
Good questions! The James Webb Space Telescope is located at L2 (the second Lagrange Point), which is in DEEP space, about 900,000 miles from the earth........roughly 650,000 miles beyond the moon. This is far beyond the current limit of manned space flight capability. So there is no possibility of fixing anything that goes wrong with the James Webb hardware. (The Hubble Space Telescope on the other hand could be fixed and upgraded by manned servicing missions, since it's in low earth orbit at a distance of only about 340 miles.) The deployment of the James Webb heat shield, secondary mirror, and segmented primary mirror in space (on its way to L2) was a big risk for example, since a mechanical failure in those operations would have been disastrous to the mission. But it was the only way that the huge telescope could be built, launched, and deployed.
There's actually not much dust nor very many micro-meteoroids at L2 which could damage or otherwise compromise the telescope and its big primary mirror. (There's none of the man-made space junk that litters low earth orbit BTW.) NASA has calculated that there WILL be some dust and a few micro-meteroid impacts which will contact the primary mirror during its working life, but none that will seriously damage it. For a good discussion of how the James Webb is hardened to avoid damage in space, Google "How Hardy is Webb." That will bring up a NASA website that discusses the subject in detail, including the issue of dust and micro-meteoroid impacts.

Space and the sky are amazing. You can make incredibly small portions of the sky and look at microscopic spots but you will notice that it contains an infinity of stuff. It is deductible from basic optics but amazingly represented here. It's like a concrete exemple of uncountable infinities.
Tfw you realize that by the time we see the light from a distant civilization, that civilization will probably have been extinct for billions of years
I love how its all about five months to james webb finally open it's eyes
This universe never ceases to amaze me . Thank you for explaining so clearly and in layman’s language. It was intriguing and interesting. Have watched a few of these documentaries by other astronomers and astrophysics, but ended up more confused . Yours was so well put together and explained so well with great examples.
Just imagine there are possibly billions of universes.
@@rebeltvr6046 only one universe
@@annedrieck7316 How do you know?
@@rebeltvr6046 according to The One True Science. There is only one and only one universe that can inhibit one definite space at a time. The stretching of space-time expanding the flat four corner of the universe is what we call the quantum gag reflex. So long as this expansion or inflation exist there are no posibble way for one universe to bump in with each other universe in order to start a chain reaction to gave birth to a new universe.
Watching this 10 years later in 2021 after James Webb has just been launched is so exciting!
That was so well explained! It's impossible to wrap our heads around how tiny we are.
Interesting to see this video after we got the first images from the Jame Web Telescope in July 2022.
I like how this guy love to speak about this subject.
yes! hes clearly passionate about his work and emotional at times. Makes it intriguing/fun to watch
Breathtakingly interesting, clearly to me, it appears that the universe is infinite. Thank you for such an easily understanding documentary.
You are an excellent teacher. Please do not stop.
This is my quote to his teaching :if the beginning of the universe is seen in the deep space all around us
and were seeing the light as it was just after the big bang, surely
that would make the big bang come from all around us and not from a
central point. This makes no sense. Do you get what
i mean? It really sounds like the stars were all created at the same
time and the light has taken that amount of time to get here. Unless the
Universe is much older we cannot see the beginning in every direction
as that would make the big bang start at here on Earth. This is a joke.
If we were nearer these distant galaxies in the past during the big bang
then we would have seen them age over time as the got further away,
where this thory says they would not of aged over time but stayed young
etc... just impossible. Oh and if we were closer to the farthest galxies
in the past then the light would not have taken so long to get here.
Does anything add up in this video?
JesusSuperLight Chris There is plenty that makes sense. The galaxies far away show up red because the spectrum stretches with the growth of the galaxy. This guy has put things in great perspective. You're upset because you're taking the bible literally word for word which is absurd. There's no need to have science and knowledge of our chemical makeup, and religion to be mutually exclusive. Muslims used to save this math and science while the Christians imprisoned Gallilao for his math and scientific advancements. Retarded ISIS are doing quite the opposite.
TazeMeBro McCleskey im not upset at all. Just trying to get my head around it, I have explained how the stars cannot be early near the big bang. Another guy has said they are actually 5 billion because of the space expansion. Personally I think they could easily just been created where they are, the distant galaxies look very similar. And if they are 5 million miles away then this guy or science is very confused
JesusSuperLight Chris For any observer from anywhere in the universe it would appear to the they were from the center of the universe - because every part of the universe would have come from the big bang.
No matter which direction we look, the farther out into space we would look the closer we would get to seeing the beginning of the universe. We can only see into the past no matter the direction.
david harris but if your on the very edge you would have a black void on one side. Anyway in photos shown I'm not convinced that we are seeing the edge, it might be the observable edge dropping off or maybe they needed a little more time to collect light. But certainly lots of stars in the furthest away photos showing up white and blue also which is strange that they are not all red and have not suffered from the red shift. Must be bright.
Magnificent. In my summary, and I had to replay some parts of the video, I gather the farther and less visible the galaxies the younger they are because their lights have not even shown yet. It’s such an awkward logic, but is the logic behind the universe expanding as we speak.
Good job Dr. Summers. This opened my eyes... Thank you.
The James Webb telescope is coming soon. Imagine what we're going to see, actually scratch that, I'm sure no one could predict what amazing images its going to uncover.
They will find, as they always do with new techniques and instruments, that everything this guy just said is rubbish. (I caught him making up stuff, but it really did sound good.) Point of fact: When I grew up watching PBS the universe was 20 bn years old. Hard cold fact. If you didn't believe it you were ostracized professionally. 100% of Darwin's origin of Species has been rubbished by subsequent science. Interesting, eh? Now, discuss among yourselves...
