We meet 5 scientists who will be using the telescope during its first cycle of operations looking at the earliest galaxies, red giant stars in the disc of Andromeda, star forming regions in the MIlky Way and nearby galaxies, the Trappist-1 exoplanet system, and mysterious icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune.

One of the reason I love the 21st century, is having easily access to such information and documentaries.
-
The craziest part is that this isn’t “The” universe. It’s just a tiny speck of it. Absolutely mind blowing.
-
This kind of things make me proud to be a part of humanity. We can do this together. It surpasses fights and wars, which ashame me.
-
Its mind blowing to think that scientists and engineers can design and build such a device. Imagine what we could achieve and the progress humanity could make without trillions spent on war!
-
This video made me smile. I am so happy that some of us are smart enough to see beyond the day-to-day bs, enough to come together and invest their time and effort into such beautiful projects that serve our species in years to come! People are awesome.
-
OMG no wonder the scientists cried. That's absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait for more images. Such an amazing time to be alive.
-
Just stunning. I hope many more people will find the passion for endeavors such as this.
-
Those scientists are very passionate about explaining things that they have seen. That indicates how much they are really put efforts to make this happen. Kudos to NASA👍🏻 all love from 🇮🇳
-
Imagine if this kind of content was the mainstream. Space scientists remind us how great our species can be. I get out of myself and for a moment I’m able to see beyond. That’s magical
-
Looks like a real peaceful place with no wars and corruption. Absolute stunning images. 🌌
-
Forever and a day. Life is so amazingly awesome. Can't wait for the next journey.

It’s absuletely spectacular that we are achieving such capacity of seeing the past and even the future. Just imagine what we are going to see in 20 years!!!
-
In a world with protracted blasts of horrible news cycles, the JWST has the ability to redirect our affective view of humanity. Great work scientists!
-
Reading the replys I see many people are interested in the subject of space. Many have learned something they may have never heard before. This is a well presented article and I hope to see more as the telescope is used to discover great new things! I think it is totally amazing that it is possible to see something 14 billion years old! To think that light could travel through space and time for so long and give up it's all in the back of a camera so we could see where it came from! Keep it coming!

One thing we have to keep in mind is the differences in technology over the past 20-30 years, when Hubble was released. It was launched about 32 years ago and for its time, it was probably the latest and greatest in imaging technology (this pre-dates most of the digital imaging technology we have today, although more advanced than any imaging technology say from the 1970's and 80's when the Voyagers were released -- at that time, I'm sure those imaging technologies were also top of the line). And I'm sure in another 10-20 years, something will replace the JWT optics as optical technology changes over time.

The level of engineering and science gone into the JWST is mindblowing
-
It's so awesome that this was produced ahead of time for the release of the first images. What a great documentary and a special day for us humans.
-
Mind blowing to see how big the universe is. Our little earth is like a spec of sand, if even that, in the cosmos.

Hey …. That capsule displacement and to discard over the earth , what in the world ? Now I know, that’s what hit my head while I was minding my own business, enjoying spring day whistling and skipping along with butterflies, and out of nowhere, “ pop “ on my head . Now I know . Hey stop throwing stuff away over the earth .
