Today, we learned that the telescope is working perfectly
and that it's observing everything
we hoped it would observe.
So -- from the very first stars and galaxies to grow
in the beginning of the universe,
to the stars growing locally nearby with planets around them
to seeing planets themselves, seeing about the chemistry
of planets, seeing things in our solar system,
the great Jupiter and its red spot and, the moving satellites
and the rings around Jupiter --
we saw everything we looked at.
And we are so pleased.
The Webb telescope has opened up new territory for astronomers.
We can see things we could never see before, at all.
So, the way we choose what to look at
is, we ask all astronomers to send us proposals.
"I've got an idea."
Let's choose the best targets and the best reasons.
This telescope is for young people to use.
A lot of graduate students won proposals,
and they're reporting their results at our conference.
So, if you're in school and you want to use this telescope,
then work on it.
You can.
The part that interests me now the most
is the most distant galaxies that have been
magnified the most by these lenses
that Einstein told us about.
So, we are seeing so much more than I ever dreamed possible,
and I just want to know what's in them.
