    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 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.

      @terrylandess6072 4 года назад

      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.

Many Engineers are whip smart, but you don't see a lot of PhD holders in that profession.

      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:

    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.

Thx for answer if it's possible..! Best regards from Canada. 👍🍷💕🍹🌿👌

    • @Dannys-mb5xy
      @Dannys-mb5xy 2 года назад +1

      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.

      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.

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.

      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.

    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. All the best. Only 5 months left to wait!!
