James Webb Space Telescope

[TheisticThinker]

Music from 2001: A Space Odyssey! That music really gets the creepiness of deep space, the airless, complete black and complete silent vacuum...

[Kenshiroit]

I dont want to sound like a troll or american basher (I hate bashers) but, think of this, Europe are now leading phycics thanks to the LHC, that means scientist are leaving USA (while Tevatron close down), Astronomy, Russia is leading thanks to the Spekt R orbital telescope, superiorir to Hubble. Space travel, with the retirement of the shuttles...Russia are leading space....and so on. Something is deeply wrong in USA. Change the tide and save the JWST otherwise.....USA will again bite the dust.

Awesome music choice!... NASA should have thought of it.. Sets the mood for how the JWST is a porthole to the unknown....!

videos about 15 year old boys meeting a girl while bowling: 600 million views.

videos about the next giant leap in understanding our universe: 8 thousand views.

how pathetic that is: very.

[pablomartinr]

@danthemanzizzle yes is very sad.

[endub42]

@kowch737 Another great video. Will this be able to tell us more about Hanny's Voorwerp? Love the music.

@bs2174

Say hello to your imaginary friend for me will you...thanks lol

[omniambience]

Nice video. Creepy music.

[myfavoritejuice]

Tengo que decir que me gusta el proyecto, pero lo de los 5.000 millones de dolares de coste me parecen una ECATOMBE... asi comia la mitad de africa y todavia sobraba para que yo pudiera desayunar churros un mes.

Donde reclamo mis churros?

[mesofius]

Our first time machine to look at the very origins of everything

[deniskatashkentskiy]

why such creepy music?

[twfeline]

Answer: Appropriate. "The film's opening overture, Ligeti's Atmospheres, plays behind a black screen - signifying, in a gestaltish way, a pre-creation era, or the mysterious unknown time of the universe's birth. "(from a review of "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Tom Dirks)

L2 is going to be a crowded place!!

[Battery9876]

It's Montreal isn't it?

[mandoniaa]

2001 a Space Odyssey soundtrack? Curious choice if so.

[JHZildjian]

right before Bowman explores Beyond the Infinite

[ldl1949]

2:58 lol!!!!!!!!! isnt that the ship from starwars?????

[UFPDelta1135]

Haha, bs2174. I wont even try to argue you, You're too stupid.

This is an awesome telescope. But it looks kinda funky.

[AG0525]

Hmmm... isnt there a mistake in animation. I thought the shielding must be perpendicular to the sun, to block interference... hmmm

Anyway, multilayer shielding and implementation idea is amazing, i wonder who figured that out.

[the2989]

oh, and bs2174 is an obvious troll trying to flamebait, just ignore him.

[the2989]

I read that this telescope will have a visor-like object that blocks out closer and brighter objects so the telescope can zoom in towards distant objects that appear to be right next to the brighter objects. Will be awesome.

Another sorry attempt to try to prove evolution. What a panty waist of taxdollers. The only thing good about "telescopes" is that we relly just get to see more and more of the glory of God.

[supergiuovane]

@bs2174 ...and prove more and more evolution.

[bs2174]

I'm not opposed to evolution, just Darwin's interpenetration of it. I understand you've probably never heard of this, so here's a link for your understanding if you so care to follow up.

The website is reasons(dot)org.

[supergiuovane]

@bs2174 Evolution as Darwin thought of it was already old ten years after he made the theory public. JWST will prove galaxy evolution, and hence the universe evolution. Which has very little to do with darwin.

[bs2174]

Yeah this is really going to show loads of really cool images. Hella better then Hubble...I'm pumped.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

Wow who knew space had such an eery soundtrack.

[redshift40]

I hope to see this project. So many planets to discover, so little time.

[MeX2004]

Nasa will never launch any telescope with name which has "JWS" in the name. :))
