    I'm a scientist and I understand how the telescope works on paper. But to see an actual marvel of engineering in such a specific orbit with specific ways of looking at our universe, and thinking of what amount of collective effort went into making this - all that makes me incredibly proud to be part of the story that is human civilization. Hats off to each and every human who contributed to this immense success - from the scientific minds who imagined this to the manual workers who kept facilities running. A big big thank you to each and every one of those humans.
  • @neolynxer
    After a day of work: some beer, TV with 4k JWST images and Fraser's voice explaining space stuff... Yeah, It's good.
  • I'm so glad that I live in the JWST era. I'm old enough to remember the launch and deployment of Hubble, and I'm happy it went as well as it did. I'm most curious as to how many people are going to earn their PhD because of JWST.
  • @NemoK
    Amazing. Enough to bring a tear to my eye. Not even being hyperbolic. Seeing the universe like this is so awe-inspiring that I can't help but get a little emotional.
  • @ThaGamingMisfit
    If everything feels doom and gloom, I tend to think about in what magnificent age of discoveries we live now and all brightens up !
  • @Swiftsparten
    Great summary of the first year of James Web. Thank you for covering the content that you enjoy most, instead of just what gets the most clicks. You may not get as much reach that way but you will for sure have me and many others that will keep coming back for good consistent content.
  • @howiedewin3688
    Being older myself than manned spaceflight, it's just mind boggling how far things have progressed.
  • @jamesl3546
    These interviews are such an amazing resource. I come back to them time and again and pick up something new (I'm a slow learner). Thanks.
  • I like how when a new instrument sends back data that makes astronomers from all the fields question their models and have to think deeper. That leads to new discoveries about our universe. Thank you
  • @cafaque
    What a year, and what a reporter! Thank you Fraser!
  • @scottwright7177
    What an amazing video. Thanks for putting it together. I've heard about most of these things here and there, but I really enjoyed seeing this as a collection of everything JWST has done so far.
  • @kodiak2fitty
    Thank you! I've missed so many of the Webb updates. This was great to have a concise review of the awesomeness.
  • @MattRobertsons
    Amazing job editing this video. I absolutely love how you zoomed into areas providing context and scale to what we are looking at. Plus, I really enjoyed the comparisons to Hubble imagery. This video really shows the power of JWST, and I wish more people covering this topic would put their videos together in a similar way. Us nerds know what we are looking at and understand light years, but no one else has a clue. I think this gets taken for granted. You've set the bar Fraser Cain.
  • @GaiaCarney
    Thanks, @frasercain ✨ This is my first time watching/listening to your content - what a gift! I learned so much & appreciate your helpful graphics ☮️
  • @Pushing_Pixels
    Great video! Really good overview of Webb's first year. Thanks!
  • @truman42746
    Great show Fraser! I believe Webb is just getting started.It's truly amazing the technology in the telescope!!
  • @seasmoke26
    For me, JWST data is so incomprehensible that I don’t know where to start asking questions or processing what I see. This does not deter me from seeing all I can about it’s journey. A friend told me in January that the next time we get together I can explain why she should be interested in the JWST and it’s images. 🤯 thank you for giving me answers to her “why”
  • @aleksd940
    Very nice video, enjoyed every minute of it, it was a breath of fresh air compared to some of those clickbait videos that have been popping up lately for me :)
  • @notation254
    Woohoo! What a trip it's been so far, can't wait for the next observations.
  • @KimP0612
    Amazing episode! Thanks for the rundown. Keep up the awesome work.
