    I wonder what it is about space that comforts people so much? I know it humbles me and I feel grateful that I am small and there is something out there bigger than me. So much wonder. You can feel childlike again when you don’t get to feel that way much as an adult.
  • I can’t seem to ever wrap my head around how we as human beings became so lucky to inherit such a planet as earth…everything was made perfectly millions of years ago for us…the air we breathe the land & the temperature was all made to sustain life so perfectly, and to also think of the millions of galaxies and the fact that there’s some possibility of life somewhere else other than earth

    The beauty of our universe makes me cry with joy. I sat watching this with a gigantic smile on my face.
  • Imagine the amount of life that is out there, the amount of life that is probably around the same age as us humans. The amount of life that is beyond our age. Nobody can tell me there isnt life out there with that many galaxies, seriously incredible to see!
  • @dougstyles
    Absolutely amazing. This made me realize just how much we dont know, and probably never will.

    Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward.. Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward..
  • Speechless. These are the topics that I wish filled the news, the airwaves and occupied everyone's busyness with. When watching and taking it in, it eclipses all other matters in a way that is difficult to describe. What an honor it must be to be a part of the planning, development and discovery of such magnificence. Many Thank Yous to all involved in these pursuits!

    As someone who has been following Webb for a while, I gotta say this is a great summation piece of its impact. Great stuff.
  • @mlh4711
    that was the fastest 12 minutes I think I have experienced for.....................well I can't recall a faster 12 minutes tbh. That was just fascinating, I could have watched it for hours. Thank you!

    This is what awe feels like...
  • @ITS.THE.NSA.
    My favorite thing to do in this life is to just gaze in awe at the stars pondering what could be out there. Its so peaceful yet so ominous.
  • @DawnMeow
    Havent cried and smiled like that in a VERY long time. I am so lucky to be alive to witness this event. Truly astounding.
  • @sandyxd643
    No words can explain how big and mysterious is our universe.
  • @davidplants
    This is absolutely amazing, mind-blowing and humbling. With so so many galaxies there surely must be life all over the universe. Its hard to wrap your mind around. That telescope is, in my opinion, the most impressive thing I've seen humans make. Its amazing what we are capable of. And on and on.
  • @Ryan256
    It’s refreshing to hear positive news like this! I’m so glad the JWST is living up to expectations after all the delays. 🌟
  • @RayRayJr.
    This is amazing. I love astronomy. Just knowing there is other Galaxies out there far away is mind blowing.
  • @mercator79
    We need more stories like this. We have alot of issues on this big blue marble, but we also have some pretty amazing achievements and that sense of discovery and wonder left in us. There is still hope for us!

    I've been waiting for the James Webb launch since I was 14. I'm glad I get to see the launch at 33 years old :-)
