1
00:00:10,143 --> 00:00:10,410
Yeah.

2
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,580
We're
seeing a sample of the amazing science

3
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:15,949
that Webb will be able
to do over the coming years.

4
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:18,251
And remember, it's just a sample.

5
00:00:18,251 --> 00:00:21,788
So we are seeing scenes and vistas
from across the universe,

6
00:00:22,088 --> 00:00:24,391
you know, toward the first galaxies

7
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:28,661
to stellar birth and stellar death.

8
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:34,467
And we're seeing an exoplanet spectrum
for the first time with Webb

9
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:39,739
showing water or steam in its atmosphere.

10
00:00:44,611 --> 00:00:45,378
So here,

11
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:49,049
what we're seeing in this deep field
image, Webb's first deep field

12
00:00:49,749 --> 00:00:53,453
is a massive cluster of galaxies.

13
00:00:53,453 --> 00:00:57,190
And what this cluster does is
it bends the light

14
00:00:57,190 --> 00:01:00,160
from even more distant galaxies
coming behind it.

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,432
And you can see that as it's sort of
banana streaks in the in the field.

16
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:10,737
And this field allows us to look
for some of the very first

17
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:14,774
luminous structures in the universe,
the first stars and galaxies.

18
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:18,144
And this was one of the reasons
that Webb was originally

19
00:01:18,144 --> 00:01:24,451
built.

20
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,889
So with the Southern Ring Nebula,
the image here,

21
00:01:29,889 --> 00:01:35,361
what you see is a star
that is similar to our own sun.

22
00:01:35,361 --> 00:01:38,731
But 5 billion years in the future,
when it dies.

23
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:44,537
And so when stars like that die,
they push off the the outer atmospheres.

24
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:49,142
And these this gas cloud
you see is filled with elements

25
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:53,046
like carbon and oxygen,
kind of elements that we're made of.

26
00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:57,851
And this is how dying
stars seed the galaxy with these elements

27
00:01:57,851 --> 00:02:07,927
that ultimately are important
for the formation of life.

28
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:13,800
So here we are
seeing a small group of galaxies

29
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:17,971
that what we call interact
actually colliding with each other.

30
00:02:18,271 --> 00:02:21,875
And this is a very fundamental part
in the evolution of galaxies.

31
00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:25,712
They bump into each other all the time,
and when they bump into each other,

32
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:27,547
they create shockwaves.

33
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:31,451
And in these shockwaves, you have this
tremendous formation of new stars.

34
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,620
And you see these shockwaves in this image

35
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:35,421
and you see the formation of stars there.

36
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,992
You also see the galaxies

37
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:44,397
superimposed in this field of distant
galaxies in the background, whose light

38
00:02:44,397 --> 00:02:47,467
has probably traveled through the universe
for billions of years.

39
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,837
And so this is very typical for web images
that everywhere we look,

40
00:02:51,204 --> 00:03:01,648
we're going to have these distant galaxies
in the background.

41
00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:03,783
Oh, yeah.

42
00:03:03,783 --> 00:03:05,985
This is such a beautiful image.
And maybe my favorite.

43
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,588
What we see here is a stellar nursery,

44
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:13,393
a cloud of gas and dust
that is actively forming new stars.

45
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,830
And you see this as sort of a landscape
that looks like mountains

46
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:23,403
because the cloud is being eroded away by
hot stars that's off the field to the top.

47
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:26,072
And they're there,
they're cooking off the cloud.

48
00:03:26,072 --> 00:03:28,274
And as they do that, they push on it.

49
00:03:28,641 --> 00:03:31,778
And so what that means is
that you can form

50
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:35,181
new stars sort of close
to the surface of the cloud there.

51
00:03:35,181 --> 00:03:40,420
And you can see those stars popping out
and you can see them also create

52
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,590
jets and outflows as part of this process

53
00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:48,661
that that that move through the cloud
and create these streaky structures

54
00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:56,236
in it.

55
00:03:57,036 --> 00:04:00,506
So what we see here is
what's called a hot Jupiter.

56
00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:04,777
So it's a it's a planet
that moves in front of its star.

57
00:04:04,777 --> 00:04:08,581
And it has about the size of Jupiter,
but the mass of Saturn.

58
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:10,183
And what

59
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:13,353
we see here
is light filtering through its atmosphere.

60
00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:17,223
And that allows us to look
for the fingerprints of certain molecules.

61
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:21,494
And in this case, the planet is full of
water vapor, full of water.

62
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:25,298
And that's what you see
is wiggles in the spectrum

63
00:04:25,698 --> 00:04:28,401
when we go
and look at other exoplanets with Webb.

64
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:32,372
We may look for other molecules, some
that are familiar in our own atmosphere

65
00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:37,176
as well, like carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, or maybe even methane

66
00:04:37,477 --> 00:04:45,218
and ozone.

67
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:50,089
So infrared light is light that is redder
than what our own eyes can see.

68
00:04:50,556 --> 00:04:54,227
And what that means is that we can see
things that you just cannot see

69
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:57,530
with a telescope that works at visible
wavelengths like the Hubble, for example.

70
00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:01,734
So what was originally built to see
very distant galaxies, because they, they,

71
00:05:02,201 --> 00:05:06,272
they, we see the light from them
primarily in the infrared.

72
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:08,441
The infrared light can also penetrate

73
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:12,645
through clouds of dust
so we can see what goes on inside them.

74
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:15,748
Like, for example, the formation of new
stars and new planets.

75
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:17,850
There.

76
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:23,423
Yeah.

77
00:05:23,423 --> 00:05:27,360
So these first images
is really only scratching the surface

78
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,294
of what Webb can do.

79
00:05:28,294 --> 00:05:31,731
We did this in essentially three days.

80
00:05:31,898 --> 00:05:34,033
So we have many years of observations
to go.

81
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:36,736
And one of the
some of the things that we will see is

82
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:39,072
scientists pushed to larger distances

83
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:43,076
in universe to really try and find those
very first galaxies and stars.

84
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:47,547
And we will also be able
to look at a new planet of planets

85
00:05:47,547 --> 00:05:49,515
around other stars
that are smaller than the one

86
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:52,852
we see here, that are more Earth-like
that may have a rocky surface.

87
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:56,856
And we can look for
whether those planets have weather on them

88
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:01,627
or volcanoes or oceans.

89
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:08,201
Yeah.

90
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:12,972
So what I, I'm really looking forward
to learning more about is,

91
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:19,078
is to find those, those first galaxies
to see if we can actually do that.

92
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:22,949
It's a completely unexplored
region of the universe up until now.

93
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,753
I'm also very curious to see

94
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:30,223
the exoplanets planets around a system
called TRAPPIST one.

95
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:36,195
This is this is how small star m dwarf
star that has seven planets around it.

96
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:41,033
And we think three of them
are actually in the distance from the star

97
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:42,602
where they may
have liquid water on the surface.

98
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:45,104
But what we don't know about them
is if they have atmospheres.

99
00:06:45,638 --> 00:06:49,142
And so already in the first year,
we will ask this very simple.

100
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,210
Yes, no question. Do
these planets have atmospheres?

101
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:54,280
Because if the answer is yes,

102
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,550
this type of planet around m
two of stars may be

103
00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:06,426
one of the most common places
that we can find life in the universe.

104
00:07:09,729 --> 00:07:11,731
So you can learn more about the Webb
telescope

105
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:16,035
by going to database t
the nasa.gov or NASA web on social media.
