Hubble Telescope Replacement: The James Webb Space ...

[alexasmithy]

some sweet info here

[msjessypp]

i enjoyed this vid

[aczjbr]

Rio de janeiro. I´m not yankee, but admirer of the space explorations. I ask for like this the all citizens of the it USA that they help to save James Webb of the cuts of budget of his Congress. Hear the video below. Help to save the humanity's eyes. And spread for his/her compatriots.

Save the James Webb Space Telescope/ watch?v=aZGE86qBxCI&feature=re­lated

[spacepatrolman]

THE NARRATOR IS FULL OF SHIT WHEN HE SAYS THERE ARE BILLIONS OF PLANETS IN OUR GALAXY NONE HAVE BEEN DETECTED OUTSIDE OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM

[VenousTadpole]

@spacepatrolman Incorrect. Planets have been detected. Plenty of them.

[spacepatrolman]

@VenousTadpole no they keep saying they found one then they say its a ring of dust that might be a planet someday or its a double star its a lot of hype

[BigVern771]

I fucking hate religion, without it this would have been up 1000 years ago.

[Haseeebo]

2018 launch date. I bet it will be delayed, but I can't wait till it launches!

[ShadowCloud143]

Please, I Must Know Who Made This Music.?!? The Music In The Beginning.

[iPlayWithPhysics]

Why they can't launch it today..

[4FunPlayin]

We won't be able to see the big bang with Webb D:

[KalimaShaktide]

I am just curious as to how it will avoid dents made by micro meteorites .

[spacevidcast]

@KalimaShaktide The same way the rest of them do. Hope and some MMOD shielding.

[suranjangupta22]

@KalimaShaktide when will it b launched...??

[jack342able]

@suranjangupta22 it will launch in 2013 we are gonna get a new human help and push the distant of what whe can see with our helper observatories and the naked eye

[spacepatrolman]

@KalimaShaktide there are actual pieces of shit floating in outer space the dark matter of the universe that will stop the expansion of the universe and cause it too contract to the point of the original big bang the same pieces of shit that floated into diana nyads mouth when she swam around manhattan

[ultrazeen380]

also if we say found a life supporting planet by the time we got to it it wud probly be occupied lol

[T4l0nITA]

@ultrazeen380 planets observed are all in our galaxy, catching a planets in another galaxies is still impossible, anyway the are all 10 ly or more so yes we d take some time going there lol

[optical76]

JWST = Jesus Would Slap Titties

[Nathan42279]

to design a space telescope 15 power the hubble would take about 20 years

[crowman131]

dont you just love the people that plan this......and make this...and do this...these are people who are truly leaders in my eyes.

[evgtun]

how ta hell do they know in which direction the big bang happened? they need to point the telescope where the big bang happened right?

[vborg101]

@evgtun see the bang has to happen at wat is now the center of our universe...and since the explosion would have expanded radially outwards we just have to looks for its "echo" then move towards that direction where the echo is weaker because the part where the bang occured will be the part which has had maximum time for dampening of the echo....

HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE FOREVER

[unseenxxx]

Replace the wars and hack jobs with Space exploration and telescopes.

[Ionizap]

In around 5:17 they mention that gas giants are being found in orbits close to the star. I can' belive this true, it's a lack of resolution. Any star is going to blow off gas from the nearest planets and leave the outer plants as gas giants much like our solar system.

[NielsShoe]

Its lots bigger than huble and it sees infared so it can see through all the gas that got in the way of hubble. it's deep field will see far more distant galaxes.

[MrBYBG]

Has anyone seen the large comet draining the south atlantic in the last few minutes?

[Dennis1705]

Two visitors are Star Wars fans...

[AZURA888]

15 or 20 years more with a telescope with the power of 5 hubbles, ok worse is nothing. The hubble paid its cost (30 years) till it became a obstacle to create new telescopes. This James Webb can't be that time in the space.

[dziis6s]

and then they will find another big bang.. and then they will find billions of big bangs.. and then they will start the theory of super big bang.. and then theyll find another super big bang.. and then some billions more of those.. and then the super duper big bang.. and then the.. gosh. i hope there's a wall so those scientists can go and do something useful with our money.

[onekeypianoplayer]

the webb telescope is only 5 times the hubble , that is not good enough,

we need the webb to be 15 times the power of hubble to see far enough to find out what started this ,

why are the goverments not doing this, !!!!!!!! we need to know, what is past the observible universe, this is the solution to knowing to what is beyong the emptyness that envelopes us!!!!!!.

[spacevidcast]

@onekeypianoplayer While most of us agree, money is a key issue. As the saying goes, "No bucks, no Buck Rogers". Also, having the ability (launcher capable of getting several tons of payload 1 million miles from Earth) to upgrade JWST would be helpful too.

[danz177]

@spacevidcast Then we need to forget about the fake money system and start creating real solutions and finding real answers, These phony constraints protect those that print our money and enslave us with it. Get past the money and humanity will achieve in 10 years what will take 200 years to achieve in a monetary system.

[jimmywrangles]

@onekeypianoplayer Theses things are done in stages and something 15 times the size of hubble has never been put in orbit before.

Plus the Webb telescope is meant to look for planets not out past the observable universe.

It's simply not designed for what you want it to do,It's a planet hunter.

[ClanFutureTools]

@onekeypianoplayer I say screw money just do it haha

[bronze5420]

@onekeypianoplayer we dont need to know... its pretty much irrelevant...by the time we make any significant progress in space the human race will have destroyed itself...it would be much better to put 6 billion dollars towards sustaining life on earth instead of wasting it on this

[Zurround100]

@onekeypianoplayer Our government spends multi trillion dollars on our military so we can fight petty wars against other nations on our own planet. That even better telescope you are vouching for would likely cost less than one percent as much as this stupid middle east war.

[ultrazeen380]

@onekeypianoplayer bigger dosent mean it looks further 6 billion it will cost thats the best gagets that dont need fine tuneing every few months money can buy durability self repairing parts its as good as it can be for now

[fdr100100]

@onekeypianoplayer how the fuck would you know you dont know shit

[jhof989620]

this is off the hook...no problem with my taxes going up for this stuff.

[spacevidcast]

@jhof989620 Tell your congressman! Please! :D

[kobie8819591]

@spacevidcast How will JWST stay in Earth orbit 1.5 million away from Earth? Is gravity that far away from earth.

[dcb1138]

@jhof989620 :

I feel the same. I don't feel so bad knowing the check is going to benefit all "all of mankind". But the problem is, this is less than 1 tenth of 1 percent of our national budget. Our government has no problem spending money on killing people and giving it away to nations that hate us. Also, keeping dead people alive (medicare) and free-bees to lazy people that don't want to work. It makes me sick to pay my taxes because of what its spent on. Over $150K last year.

[psb1964]

This is good news. I was going to replace the Hubble Space Telescope myself, but I'm too busy at work right now.

[jimmywrangles]

@psb1964 My thoughts exactly, Plus I lost my ladder so someone else will have to do it.

[InSaneTK]

Hubble Space Telescope's

Collecting area = 4.5 m2 (48 sq ft)

James Webb Space Telescope

Collecting area = 25 m2 (270 sq ft)

The James Webb Space Telescope's mirror is huge in comparison to Hubble. I expect very very high res images!

[blecha74]

Well, I wonder... - no money...

[DJP2023]

I cant wait for this telescope to get sent into space. I love the fact that we will be able to see objects in space in greater detail, but it is so disapointing that we will not be alive to see what lies beyond our observable universe

[Ladiestreat]

Bonanza!!!

[donutmaster]

I have to type up a research paper related to astronomy, I'm so writing down everything in this video word-for-word. Thanks!

[pony857]

thank you 4 the video :)

[EpicPhysichs]

Not to ruin the party and all of the excitement but...

0:40 ONLY INFRARED? No visible light spectrum like the Hubble? D= So where only going to see the images in infrared no real color? Like the Hubble was famed for? I'm still going to miss Hubble if it gets decommissioned...

[DieselDownunder]

@EpicPhysichs you will find that it will computer generate images in visible wavelength as they have been doing for many many years already

[Eduardunk]

Thanks for these pleasant 9 min and 56 sec, I love astronomy.

[pony857]

@Eduardunk love it to...can't wait:)

[sbergman27]

We're finding Jupiter sized planets in Mercury sized orbits not "in part because they are the easiest for us to find" but because they are *the only thing* that we could possibly have found with our pre-Kepler strategies. And are still the only thing we could expect to see at this time, even with Kepler. As time goes on, that will change, and the Kepler team will be able to confirm longer period, and smaller, planets.

[sbergman27]

@sbergman27 : ... Although I did not mean to imply that even Kepler could find a Jupiter in a Jupiter sized orbit in less than 35 years. And it doesn't have enough expendables on board for that.

[kaptugan]

At least we will learn how many aliens in space in 2014 :)))

[thrasher1100]

darn 2013 that sucks hopefully hubble doesnt blow up any time soon

[sbergman27]

@thrasher1100 : The last launch I was really excited about was OCO... which ended up at the bottom of the Indian Ocean near Antarctica, thanks to the dunderheads at Orbital Sciences Corp and their chewing gum and bailing wire, 25% failure rate, Taurus rocket.

Right now, the thought of the launch of something as important as JWST makes me so nervous I can hardly stand it. So I try not to think about it. Ariane 5 has a 92% to 96% success ratio. But still...

[NasaGirl100]

Sooooo exciting!!

[saharSA1]

wow! i just cant wait to the first pictures!!!

[razorbladar]

signed :) very informative 5/5 :)

[SenemmTSR]

WoW can't wait to see its first images:)

[ScienceLayman]

exciting stuff here!

[Robotdrummerzzk]

With the Webb telescope scientists speculate we will be able to see extrasolar planets, such as any planets that exist in the Alpha Centauri system at great detail

[unitedfc99]

would it be possible to build a telescope that sees so far back into space that we can see the big bang? or at least the immediate aftermath of it

[Airclot]

We will miss you Hubble. You will always represent space telescopes to us!

[HomeIncomeBusiness]

the webb space telescope is a remarkable feat of human engineering. so was the hubble. i only hope that engineers who do the real work can make observations as to what they see as well as mankind rather than astronomers who know nothing about the universe with their "big bang" and everything is "billions of years" old with absolutely 0 proof.

[Mungaman97]

You are a ignorant asswipe unworthy of the space you take up on Earth.

[HomeIncomeBusiness]

you are a worthless douche bag and a waste of sperm

[TheOriginalOwnage]

You're a little bitch if you seriously meant that because of a youtube comment.

[BIGFACE08]

wonder if NASA will but a fixed telescope on the moon ?

[JoeyMontanaMang]

Funny how it comes out in 2013, when all these doomsday theorists are saying the world ends late 2012. Lets hope they're not right xD

[JoeyMontanaMang]

I predict that by at least the year 3000, (that is, if we made the successful leap from a type 0 civilization to a type 1) we'll be able to "engineer" our own planets. Just from what I've seen in recent technology.

[glennandsofia]

thats awesum but it wud cost too much money. i mean they worked out how much it would cost to build the death star, it wud cost 15septillion. theres million, billion,trillion,quadrillion,q­uintillion, sextillion then septillion. and the numbers get bigger by the way. but anyway im sure things will b different in the year 3000.lol

[666j1]

@JoeyMontanaMang Fuck the Kardashev scale it's theoretical and speculative. also your predictions are based on nothing.

[StereoSpace]

Excellent video.

[arphynon]

Normally I would expect an immediate malfunction in space machines and vehicles, but since we are coming to an age of precision and detail, it is hard to imagine that things will go wrong. This telescope looks very aesthetic and advanced, and will be some sort of a replacement for the (almost) 20-year-old Hubble. Scientists and engineers must have known what to include in the JWST and how to include it. So, hopefully, this thing will help us make history and understand our universe better.

[TyteTyson]

when is this scope gonna go up?

[siener]

2013

[MAMOHT82]

and how long will it take to cool down after launch?

[miniplus]

Great video. Thanks for posting. I wonder if they will be able to detect spectrographic signs of life.

Let me be the first (am I?) to predict that they will not see the "early" galaxies from after the Big Bang that they are expecting, but will push back the alleged age of the Universe, and conveniently force-fit the Big Bang to the new data.

[CCPnoob]

just so oyu know L2 is lagrange point 2

lagrange points are areas of neutral gravity (between too masses like earth and moon or sun and earth)

[headbanger940]

i have an ET beside me from the andromeda galaxy..578901 light years away from earth.."it" said human scientist are lame alien hunters..

[tsjoencinema]

very cool project

[NakSsS]

Can't wait for this baby to go into orbit.

[Sylvanas17]

@NakSsS agreed xD

[4FunPlayin]

@NakSsS Only 3-4 years left!

[stephenetienne]

Great! Thanks for posting this!

[gramatikov]

odd looking telescope, but cool stuff

[Jmcenanly]

Who's going to be seeing it? The important thing is that it will work well.

[themanwithacrumpet]

yeah but L2 is way to far out for any easy servicing mission. we'll need to get it perfect first time because the only way we could get out there is via orion

[U5K0]

It's a NASA/ESA/CSA project and will be launched by the european Ariane 5.
