Anton is one of the best science communicators out there.

[markharwood]

It's the clarity that impresses me. We don't need to know the mathematics or the abstruse terms. Anton tells it for the non-specialists who wish to know the latest space news. Thank you, Anton.

"Bob, did you remember to peel those red stickers off the mirrors?"

[Codex]

So refreshing to hear someone presenting the facts, rather than all the sensationalist, conspiracy type theories, that proliferate on social media. Usually with clickbait titles. :)

Another reason why we DO NEED JWSTs bigger brother - the 15 Metre Luvoir - up there! Over twice the mirror for even clearer images, and, with the latest cutting edge tech inside, we'll get even more impressive pictures! 👍. 😎🇬🇧

[mitchhuck]

i watch your videos every day/ you are beyond informative. from the states i thank you kindly! cheers!

[siheard]

Love most of Antons' uploads, although some do twist my brain up, but this video was just perfect. Spoon fed to my brain in a clear, concise and digestable manner. Damn fine work, my friend.

The fact that we are basically at the edge of viewing photons at the atomic level of the reflective surface and accidental doping or impurities need to be accounted for is insane.

[paullightowlers]

Thank you you are a good teacher.I'm so surprised myself just what I have learned over the lastyear.I am58 so remember what ever age.it's good to learn again Thank you Anton and the wonderful people here😀

[slasamsara]

Impossibile not to love this wonderful person

As one of the original Galaxy Zoo finders of Peas. Hi - I also wrote the software used to initially classify and check them. (Richard Proctor my name is on Carolin Cardomone's original paper)

[belyear]

Welcome Back Anton. Peace & Love to you and your family.

[yvonnemiezis]

Great, interesting video, thanks Anton ❤👍

[Jimmy-Dubz-low]

Would be awesome to see Anton do an article with Brian Cox.

[jimcurtis]

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 😎🫶

[cloudalien]

I've started looking forward to the words somewhat, mysterious, bizarre, surprisingly, ... Please Anton, never change. The world needs you right now more than ever.

[jessemiles]

Thanks for the videos Anton. Keep up the awesome work.

[FunkyVader]

Very interesting and important discovery, explains the dilemma of super massive black holes that should not exist so early in the universe. Basically super dense clouds are collapsing directly into black holes

[pierresaslawsky]

Thank you, Anton! You explain very well. And thanks for displaying a copy of the scientific papers: it allows those who wish it to learn further.

Was a nice post you made about your son. My mother died last year and a large part of me died with her. Hope you find meaning, obviously looks like you have. Thanks for the videos.
