Keep up with the great content. Your channel NEVER uses click bait... just great, informative material. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!
Heidi's a great scientist and her enthusiasm is wonderful. You've done a great job of integrating some scientific images into this interview. The images are gorgeous and fascinating.
My grandmother got me interested in astronomy when I was a kid. She would absolutely love this is she were alive today. Incredible discoveries on the horizon!
What an incredible presentation. Dr. Hammel is an extremely knowledgeable presenter and your input really brought this to life. I ended up watching this twice and picked up more great information that I missed before. Jupiter is an incredibly interesting planet to study and learn about. Thank you and Dr. Hammel for bringing us this amazing and awesome presentation.
Great astronomy content is so rare. I know when I see new Launch Pad Astronomy in my notifications I'm going to learn something today. Thanks for consistently releasing the best astronomy content! 🙏🖖🤘
Great video as always! Its fascinating listening to someone as passionate and knowledgeable as her (and yourself of course), learning soo much watching your channel thank you!
I could not click on this video fast enough. I love your content and I get really excited when Dr. Heidi comes on. Recently I have been watching all of the Shoemaker/Levy 9 press conferences from '94 and it was really cool to see she was the lead of the team working on the imagining of the impacts with Hubble. Anyways I just wanted to share that little coincidence. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching! edit- You actually mentioned the S/L 9 impacts in the video. Guess I should have watched more before commenting.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy It's great footage and you can tell how excited everyone was. I was 9 when it happened and still remember watching those comet chunks hitting Jupiter. If anyone else wants to watch the footage just search for "comet impact tape 1-9" it's on the NASA STI TH-cam page.
A new door has been opened. But, at this point only a crack. The content of this Video has just up my knowledge base another notch, as they always do. Thank you Prof Hammel and Prof Ready for your time on this. You have no idea much your time you set aside for this changes us all for the better.
Images from JWST ... good Explanations by Christian of what im looking at ... great More nuance from an enthusiastic scientist ... the best, and mind blowing. keep up the great content.
19:17 Really happy to hear this. A risk-averse bias in what is chosen to be observed might cause us to miss more phenomena than if a mix of risky and non-risky observation targets is chosen.
Just shows how remote we are when we can't even view our near system neighbours in near real time except in a highly abstracted way with the best instrument we have available to us well into the 21st century.
Hi Christian, whenever I get desperate to learn more, I reach out to you. Are you able to do a video on how do astronomers tell The difference between the light coming from a super nova versus that from a type 1a supernova. Also regarding the determination of the red shift, how do they work out what the original wavelength of the light being measured versus what is reaching us.
3:32 Given the revolutionary nature of integral-field spectroscopy, can we hope for an LPA segment on this sometime soon ? If a picture is worth a 1000 words and a spectrum is worth a 1000 pictures, how can you describe a thousand (1024) spectra ?
Glad you liked it! And sorry if the levels were a little low. Weirdly the levels were actually about the same as normal but the "thickness" of the sound was much less than what I can get in my studio. Oh well!
Most people don't know that Uranus is colder than Neptune, even though it is closer to the sun. ALSO Uranus has rings, and we're hoping Webb will get a nice view of those.
Thanks for your amazing video. You talked about JWST tracking Neptune. Which is the fastest moving object in our solar system (e.g. comet, asteroid etc.) that the JWST is capable of tracking? What would be too fast to track? Its probably an angular speed, not absolute value, so could you give examples for objects that could or could not be tracked? Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it! You're right that it's ultimately about angular speed, which is governed by how fast the object is moving relative to Webb, and how close or far away it is. Webb tracked the impact of asteroid Dimorphous after the DART impact at a rate far beyond what it was designed to, and it worked!
Hyper informative video from you again.. Please make a video on Webb pillars of creation and what we have discovered new? Why the MIRI image looks so boring... Has the MIRI image revealed something new as compared to the NIRcam image.
What she said: "Science occured." What she was thinking: "We scienced this SH!T out of this yo!" My guy! Her enthusiasm is contagious. I am about to toss hours into the "find Webb pictures" adventure :)
While watching part 2, the solar system graphic showed Saturn tumbling in its orbit around the sun. Every time I looked at it through my 10" telescope, it appears in the same orientat.. K don't have another 29 years. Can you tell its rate of tumble?
One question; why Cassini-Huygens ran out of power in 20 years and both Voyager 1 & 2 still have enough electricity power after 40 years? What kind of super generators were equipped on Voyager 1 & 2?
it wasn't that it ran out of power, but that it was running out of fuel which it needed to change its orbit. The concern was that if they ran it out of gas, it could eventually crash onto a moon and contaminate it. So the spacecraft was sent into Saturn to ensure the moons remained pristine. We did the same thing with Galileo at Jupiter. The Voyagers aren't in orbit around anything so we're not able to ditch them anywhere.
No, there weren't. The spacecraft's mass is negligible compared to Jupiter's. In fact, all of its moons could fall into the planet and it wouldn't increase its mass by any significant amount.
If a planet get reflected on lets say a few pixels of the sensor area, the spectroscopy must be really messy. Separating that continuous bandwith into its constituent parts must be an amazing work of intelect :-)
Are there any plans to point JWST back at the earth just to see what it looks like from that distance and perhaps extrapolate what it would take to get meaningful data from an exoplanet with life?
I must confess that just watching the fabulous galactic photos and listenting to the science behind all that is the best cure against the so depressing political state of our country. On the one hand the beauty of science and reason, on the other hand the abject disease of lies and extremism.
Even I, as a non-native speaker, having a difficulty to focus the topic at hand by listening how the name of the planet is being pronounced. I think it is time for native English speaker to adopt Latin pronunciation of many of the Latin-origin name.

Thumbs up for Heidi. The images only become gorgeous and fascinating when we understand what the underlying science.
So glad I found this channel a few months ago. Great content once again and full of information for us space geeks.
My grandmother got me interested in astronomy when I was a kid. She would absolutely love this is she were alive today. Incredible discoveries on the horizon!
Space is so fascinating, I dont see how everybody doesn't eventually take a heavy interest in it.

Thanks! I’m happy to defer to Heidi any time!
New quality data from a reliable source. Priceless! Much appreciated and thank you very much!
S.W.
Wow if they pull off analysis of the Plumes of Enceladus and Europa. That is exciting!
Loved the video thank you, the panning of images on the side really took the video beyond informative!
That was great! New sub here. I'm looking forward to more from Dr Hammel. Cheers.
I didn't know that I would learn so much in this video, this was a great discussion and analysis of the JWST images of our nearby planets!
Thanks for bringing us so much knowledge and knowledgeable people to explain and discuss this cutting edge technologies and science advancements.
She's very engaging. Great interview.

im only a low ranking nerd but i find things exciting. its wonderful seeing top-tier scientists being excited about stuff too

Partial reading during exposition! I thought it would be a nice feature to expand the dynamic range - and it exists! Oh, brilliant!
Images from JWST ... good
Explanations by Christian of what im looking at ... great
More nuance from an enthusiastic scientist ... the best, and mind blowing.
keep up the great content.

Wow! Thanks for uploading this fine interview. This is first-rate astronomy, exactly what I hope to find on YT. Cheers from New Zealand!
So many scientist are excited about the JWST it’s fun watching them tryina explain complex things simply
That was a treat to watch and listen to. Thank you
Those pictures of Uranus will be fantastic. We will be able to see Uranus up close and personal.
Can't wait to see Uranus 🤗
Just shows how remote we are when we can't even view our near system neighbours in near real time except in a highly abstracted way with the best instrument we have available to us well into the 21st century.
I really enjoyed watching Heidi's interviews on the 2017 documentary The Farthest. Her love of the planets is contagious!
Excellent work.. Getting these legit people to talk about how Weare supposed to see it, is brilliant.
She’s back!! Yay! 💃🏼🤩
Loved this talk with Heidi!
I really enjoy your videos, the mission's complex features are easy to understad.
I learn so much by watching you.
Saludos.
Thanks 🙏
What a fantastic woman. She has such passion for her job. Love it.
Loved the knowledge of Dr Hammel, she is really smart by trying those risky observations.
Can’t wait to see pictures of Uranus!
Thanks so much for keeping us updated on the JWT
Awesome conversation.
The list at 18:18 it would be interesting to have a look at it. Is it available somewhere?
really enjoyed this video

Thanks for the info regarding Jupiter. I can now understand better what i'm seeing in my own images.
I’m gobsmacked. Thanks for your video.
"Science occurred"! I love it when that happens, as we say in Blighty its 'ace'. Someone else said that 50 years ago and stuck it on an album sleeve!
Excellent stuff - and great logo.
Real deal. Love your video. Thank you.
Jupiter looks so cool keep up the good work.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Another great video! Is there a schedule for Keiper Belt/ planetary observations?
Thank you so much for this wonderful window on to developing science thanks to this amazing instrument 👌👌✌️

Thank YOU! Maybe the sound level could be a little bit higher: I used my phones to the maximum to be able to hear in a public place.
Glad you liked it! And sorry if the levels were a little low. Weirdly the levels were actually about the same as normal but the "thickness" of the sound was much less than what I can get in my studio. Oh well!
really appreciate this level of detail
Superb ! The lady is a go-getter.
This is great, thanks so much
Christian I just want to let you know I'm gnawing the arm off my chair waiting for your in depth report on how the Webb team solved the MIRI issue!
that's the first time i've seen the directions that jwst aims
I can’t wait to see Uranus!
Totally awesome images
I love the content! 🎃
thanks for the video :)
6:10 Do all of those black dots represent tiny moons orbiting Jupiter?
Most people don't know that Uranus is colder than Neptune, even though it is closer to the sun. ALSO Uranus has rings, and we're hoping Webb will get a nice view of those.

I did not realize that near infared and thermal infared were two different things
When will uranus window be open again?
Sorry bout that, just passing through!
1:10 is gold
Fantastic details of Jupiter! Was it Io that was over exposed? A lot of heat from those 200+ volcanoes 🌋
I love it when scientists get all geeky excited about new stuff in their fields.
We are professional nerds :)
Hyper informative video from you again..
Please make a video on Webb pillars of creation and what we have discovered new?
Why the MIRI image looks so boring... Has the MIRI image revealed something new as compared to the NIRcam image.
02:01: For Uranus I would think they would focus on the colonoscopy rather than the spectroscopy...
[I was shown out]
I’ve always wanted NASA to send a rover to Hellas Basin. Probably the last place water was on service ( except for newer impact areas).
Will it be possible to focus on the erath using Web?
no because heat from the sun reflecting off it would damage it, according to his reply to a similar question
@@d-rockanomaly9243 Just as I thought.
Question- has Heidi worked with the Hubble program? And if so has she heard of ROD BARTO?
“Whhhhhheeeeeennnnnn theeeeee
Jovian skies/
Are lit up for our eyes/
That’s auroræ.”
What's all those little black spots everywhere? Looks like dust on the sensor??? Or dead pixels???
That “soon” at 1:46!😂 dead
is JWST ever going to look at earth? would that give us any useful data, for comparisons perhaps?
Wow, the great red spot has shrank quite a bit since 1970. I have an old altas here of the solar system from the 70's and can compare them.
What she said: "Science occured."
What she was thinking: "We scienced this SH!T out of this yo!"
My guy! Her enthusiasm is contagious. I am about to toss hours into the "find Webb pictures" adventure :)
What a brilliant woman
1:18 I would really try to find another way to formulate that question.
While watching part 2, the solar system graphic showed Saturn tumbling in its orbit around the sun. Every time I looked at it through my 10" telescope, it appears in the same orientat.. K don't have another 29 years. Can you tell its rate of tumble?
Saturn maintains the same axial tilt throughout its orbit around the Sun, so it doesn’t tumble. I just rotated the photo to give some visual interest.
Are NASA folks required to say 'James Webb Space Telescope' in full vs. JWST or Webb?
One question; why Cassini-Huygens ran out of power in 20 years and both Voyager 1 & 2 still have enough electricity power after 40 years? What kind of super generators were equipped on Voyager 1 & 2?
it wasn't that it ran out of power, but that it was running out of fuel which it needed to change its orbit. The concern was that if they ran it out of gas, it could eventually crash onto a moon and contaminate it. So the spacecraft was sent into Saturn to ensure the moons remained pristine. We did the same thing with Galileo at Jupiter. The Voyagers aren't in orbit around anything so we're not able to ditch them anywhere.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Thanks, you are the smartest person on TH-cam!
@@LaunchPadAstronomy Was it true that there were concerns Galileo might ignite Jupiter and turn it into a sun?
You're very kind, but believe me when I tell you I'm definitely not that smart!
No, there weren't. The spacecraft's mass is negligible compared to Jupiter's. In fact, all of its moons could fall into the planet and it wouldn't increase its mass by any significant amount.
If a planet get reflected on lets say a few pixels of the sensor area, the spectroscopy must be really messy.
Separating that continuous bandwith into its constituent parts must be an amazing work of intelect :-)
Love to see uranus too
I like looking at Uranus
Are there any plans to point JWST back at the earth just to see what it looks like from that distance and perhaps extrapolate what it would take to get meaningful data from an exoplanet with life?
No because then the telescope would be exposed to the heat from the sun moon and earth and would be damaged beyond repair.
We need Saturn 🪐 with Webb's instruments the rings would be insane right?
does she have a plush uranus and neptune toys on her table?
Yes she does!
Im interested in Uranus
Long live the solar system!
Someday people will take a sightseeing tour of “Old Faithful on Enceladus”.
Oh my God. We're gonna look at Sedna.
The nerds shall inherit the cool stuff.
wow.... i didnt know just HOW MUCH i didnt know...
I must confess that just watching the fabulous galactic photos and listenting to the science behind all that is the best cure against the so depressing political state of our country. On the one hand the beauty of science and reason, on the other hand the abject disease of lies and extremism.
The I F U of Uranus will be fantastic
James Webb examines moon and finds window to veiw Uranus.
Even I, as a non-native speaker, having a difficulty to focus the topic at hand by listening how the name of the planet is being pronounced. I think it is time for native English speaker to adopt Latin pronunciation of many of the Latin-origin name.
Yay.
