    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.
  • @snowgibson2982
    Hi :) My name is Snow Gibson. The JWST inspired me to start to work on getting a bachelors degree in physics. I've been completely captivated by all of the amazing discoveries since it was released, and I dont want to just read about them... I want to participate in the research and discoveries going on! Thank you for summarizing the first year of discoveries made by the JWST. Beautiful.
  • @howiedewin3688
    Being older myself than manned spaceflight, it's just mind boggling how far things have progressed.
  • 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.
  • @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 !
  • @timclark6439
    I've been on the hunt for good science creators that aren't Star Talk or Veritasium and I think this guy really really fits the bill. Good stuff Fraser.
  • 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
  • @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.
  • @GaiaCarney
    Thanks, @frasercain ✨ This is my first time watching/listening to your content - what a gift! I learned so much & appreciate your helpful graphics ☮️
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @kodiak2fitty
    Thank you! I've missed so many of the Webb updates. This was great to have a concise review of the awesomeness.
  • @IndyPokerDude
    AMAZING!!! Im speechless. My 5th grade science fair project was "The Solar System". I teamed up with a follow class buddy and we came in 2nd place which qualified us for the regional science fair. Unfortunately, our exhibit was destroyed while waiting to be transferred to the school hosting the regionals. The janitors that cleaned up the gymnasium that evening following the science fair accidentally trampled over our project while shooting hoops in close proximity to all of the science fair projects that were waiting to be transferred to the regionals. That was back in 1980 when Pluto was considered a planet. Poor Pluto. lol It's hard for an old fart like me to understand or comprehend how JWST has come to fruition accomplishing the unimaginable during its first year of operation. To all of the great minds of our world that pulled together over the years to make this dream you all had a reality, well done and thank you for allowing an average joe like me to have access and enjoy the content JWST provides.
  • @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.
  • @cafaque
    What a year, and what a reporter! Thank you Fraser!
  • @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.
  • @notation254
    Woohoo! What a trip it's been so far, can't wait for the next observations.
  • @TweezerShred
    This a wonderful video for so many reasons. Thanks for posting.
