Thanks Fraser, a wonderful introduction to the first releases from JWST. In your video you come across as excited as we all should be. Considering the legacy of the HST (still going), JWST is looking to blow our minds and keep mankind busy for many, many years into the future. JWST aside, what instruments currently in the making or planning are you most excited about?
I don't think I've ever seen you so happy before, Fraser. :-)
How do they decide the exposure time needed to get the data for any given project? Is it decided on available time, real time decisions, calculated light collection? Or combination of all? Is there always a chance that with a little more time they could get more useful information?
Fishing for stars, what could be better? We all appreciate your zeal and depth of coverage. Marvelously done! THANK YOU!
Well done Fraser, excellent coverage
Thanks Fraser, your insight and explanations always add another dimension to any subject and this was no different. Absolutely fantastic images!!
Great video, Fraser. I love the Carina nebula; I was fortunate to look at it with my eyeballs a couple of weeks ago through a 10" dob. I found the infrared image even more spectacular and illuminating than the colour image, but maybe that's just me.
This is so excellent. You must be over the moon. 20 years in the making... sit back and enjoy!
