Показать описание
The Webb Telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide. It will study every phase in the history of our Universe, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System.

Formerly known as the "Next Generation Space Telescope" (NGST) and considered the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the telescope was renamed in Sept. 2002 after former NASA administrator, James Webb.

This video in 720p, fullscreen in a 16:9 ratio LCD, with the max volumen and the lights turned off is really, really EPIC!
I just drool'd.

NASA does some amazing and brilliant work.
I feel though that often the math is neglected in preference to glossy presentations, they do not reveal NASA's true value.
It need not take any more than putting a scale in the corner of videos, or some bars indicating temperature & other numbers people could note.
There needs to be some work done on making the math accessible in a user friendly way IMO.
It is rocket science, yet it is actually quite fun and easy, everybody should know it.

Indeed, including the "digital readout sound effects". This telescope is already awesome enough by itself and doesn't need that forced "technological" decoration... which is... so last decades...

Anyone else who think that the "robot voice" just makes the video kind of corny?
