    One year ago, in July 2022, we got first light from the James Webb Space Telescope. After over 20 years of planning and delays, the most powerful telescope of all time officially went into operation. Now, one year later, let’s take a look at Webb’s groundbreaking first year in operation - the questions answered, the answers questioned, and where it all goes next.

      Yeah i feel like "why not" add an array of detectors in the red, blue, green, yellow, cyan, and magenta ranges with the cost already being so high? Like the cameras themselves can't be that expensive, maybe it was just complicated to be able to switch between them and add more moving parts? It just seems like kind of a waste with an already multi billion dollar telescope not to throw a detector for every bit of the spectrum. Surely most of the cost is unrelated to the detectors themselves, but im guessing there's a good reason

      @@tricursor2481 James Webb does already see some visible light, but infrared has longer wavelengths, so it doesn't get scattered and absorbed by dust and gas in space. Therefore, most of the data is going to be the longer wave lengths anyway - especially from far away. i.e. showing just what it captured in that visible light range wouldn't show much of value.

    I was a Test Engineer and I developed the test system for the Fine Guidance System working as a sub contractor for the Canadian Space Agency (who was partnered with NASA and responsible for the FGS). My role was to develop the tests for the mechanical side of the FGS -- we had a 'mock up' of the spacecraft's electrical interface that would send commands to the stepper motors and stuff.
    One of the coolest programs I ever worked on. All the engineers were really worried about this thing working in space. Once at L2, there is no way to repair it... not like the Hubble where they could send the shuttle up to install a repair.

      Gregory, that's so great to hear you were an instrumental participant in helping the JWST become a reality! Thanks for sharing this info about your experience. I'd also wondered about position L2, being too far away for the JWST to be serviced. Hubble has been upgraded FIVE TIMES since it was first launched. I don't know if that was due to technical limitations since overcome. Is there any way to transmit a software update to JWST, or is it completely on its own?

    • @IanSizzler
      @IanSizzler ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Incredible, great work. We should all be so lucky to work on something with such meaning behind it.

Fingers crossed it lasts as long as Hubbell 🤞

      ​@@bengsynthmusicYou are technically correct, however my understanding is that Hubble was designed with repair in mind, while JWST wasn't. Meaning that the repairs would be much more complicated.
      Even if we have the technology, at a certain point it's just better to build a new scope. For example, there has already been damage to multiple mirrors on JWST. Who knows how bad it'll be in 10 years.
      Why spend tons of money fixing it when you can spend the same money on something with modern tech?
      Also, as big as JWST is, the mirror size was limited by the rocket fairings. Scientists wanted to go bigger but couldn't. Bigger rockets might allow for even bigger mirrors at relatively little additional cost.

  • @davidk1308
    @davidk1308 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Small correction, but we have directly imaged planets before Webb. The earliest ones were brown dwarfs or brown dwarf candidates back in 2004, but in 2008, the W.M. Keck Observatory watched the orbits of 3 super Jupiter's.
    Another interesting fact is the the Nancy Grace Roman telescope is supposed to improve direct imaging even further, allowing us to spot older Jupiter sized planets orbiting about as far from its star as Jupiter orbits the Sun (most targets are young super Jupiter's, so they have leftover heat allowing them to be spotted more easily).

    You should do a video on the the convergent evolution within the adaptive radiation of African lake Cichlids. Three lakes all have the same fish based in looks but all come from different common ancestors. One fish gave rise to 100s of species in the first lake. Then one of those fish got into a second lake and gave rise independently to the 100s of the same looking fish but are technically new species. Then one of those fish moved to a third lake and gave rise to 100s of more species that look the exact same as the fish from the first two lakes. Then so forth and so forth for 5 more lakes.
    Each fish is more closely related to the fish in its own lake even though they look so identical to the fish from the other lakes that they were thought to be the same species until we had the ability to run phylogenetic testing on them.
    It’s wild example of the power of convergent evolution within a rapid adaptive radiation Speciation event!!!!

    Every plank time of delay and cent of cost overrun has already been proven worth it, even if we never get anything else out of that thing.

I suspect that quite a few projects for even larger space telescopes have been made a lot more plausible now that we know this thing works.

    I've been an avid fan of any and all things space my whole life. If I'm telling the truth it's totally my obsession.

Also, I wanted to say thank-you because you made me feel like another normal person b/c you said on one of ur videos you have this dialogue in your head. I do, too. I use to think it was schizophrenia but I think it's just how I think. I talk to myself in different tones of voice like I'm having a conversation w/another person but not. I'm just having one with myself. Anyway, idk if that's what you meant but you just made me feel like I wasn't too different from other people because it sounded like you think the same way.

    It's a shame most people think these are just "pretty and colorful but expensive pictures of the sky". I really think we (all nations) should put more effort into communicating the importance of these findings to the public. It might not always be something that affects your everyday life, but it affects the MEANING of your life. Knowing where we all come from, if we are unique, if generations after us could find another place to live and so many more. Not to mention the technological advancements that are made along the way while developing these marvels of engineering. People somehow agree that wars bring technological boosts and the loss of countless lives is just part of it, but space flight and astronomy, they say, is a waste of money? So, yes, we really should use these 'pretty pictures' to lure some people into science and technology. So thanks for your efforts in trying to help this communciation, Joe.
