  • Imagine the amount of life that is out there, the amount of life that is probably around the same age as us humans. The amount of life that is beyond our age. Nobody can tell me there isnt life out there with that many galaxies, seriously incredible to see!
  • @kendraw7461
    I wonder what it is about space that comforts people so much? I know it humbles me and I feel grateful that I am small and there is something out there bigger than me. So much wonder. You can feel childlike again when you don’t get to feel that way much as an adult.
  • I can’t seem to ever wrap my head around how we as human beings became so lucky to inherit such a planet as earth…everything was made perfectly millions of years ago for us…the air we breathe the land & the temperature was all made to sustain life so perfectly, and to also think of the millions of galaxies and the fact that there’s some possibility of life somewhere else other than earth
  • @ianc9843
    As someone who has been following Webb for a while, I gotta say this is a great summation piece of its impact. Great stuff.
  • @user-sg4lw7cb6k
    Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward.. Hats off for all the people who's moving humanity forward..
  • @dougstyles
    Absolutely amazing. This made me realize just how much we dont know, and probably never will.
  • @Joycemcnamara
    The beauty of our universe makes me cry with joy. I sat watching this with a gigantic smile on my face.
  • @DawnMeow
    Havent cried and smiled like that in a VERY long time. I am so lucky to be alive to witness this event. Truly astounding.
  • @sandyxd643
    No words can explain how big and mysterious is our universe.
  • @ITS.THE.NSA.
    My favorite thing to do in this life is to just gaze in awe at the stars pondering what could be out there. Its so peaceful yet so ominous.
  • @TaylorFalk21
    It breaks my brain when I realize that those early galaxies we are seeing existed over 10 billion years ago, are farther away then we will ever imagine, and that they might not even be there anymore
  • @mlh4711
    that was the fastest 12 minutes I think I have experienced for.....................well I can't recall a faster 12 minutes tbh. That was just fascinating, I could have watched it for hours. Thank you!
  • @yortsemloh1156
    Imagine the amazing civilizations that must exist within all those billions of galaxies. I wish I could see them all.
  • @brewtank6738
    Sometimes it makes me sad that I might miss some great discovery or get to miss even the next telescope. This type of stuff just makes you think of endless possibilities.
  • Discoveries like this truly make you realize how small we truly are. Kansas wasn't lying when they sang "All were are is dust in the wind".
  • @MrRickle
    Beyond amazing. When I see these new discoveries it reminds me just how little we know and it makes me wistful that I’ll never get to know it all in my lifetime.
  • @Bauks
    This is what awe feels like...
  • Speechless. These are the topics that I wish filled the news, the airwaves and occupied everyone's busyness with. When watching and taking it in, it eclipses all other matters in a way that is difficult to describe. What an honor it must be to be a part of the planning, development and discovery of such magnificence. Many Thank Yous to all involved in these pursuits!
