00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:06.660 align:middle line:84%
Today, we learned that the
telescope is working perfectly

00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:08.700 align:middle line:84%
and that it's
observing everything

00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:09.960 align:middle line:90%
we hoped it would observe.

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:84%
So -- from the very first
stars and galaxies to grow

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:14.250 align:middle line:84%
in the beginning
of the universe,

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:18.060 align:middle line:84%
to the stars growing locally
nearby with planets around them

00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:21.180 align:middle line:84%
to seeing planets themselves,
seeing about the chemistry

00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.090 align:middle line:84%
of planets, seeing things
in our solar system,

00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:26.940 align:middle line:84%
the great Jupiter and its red
spot and, the moving satellites

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.290 align:middle line:90%
and the rings around Jupiter --

00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:30.060 align:middle line:90%
we saw everything we looked at.

00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:31.410 align:middle line:90%
And we are so pleased.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:84%
The Webb telescope has opened up
new territory for astronomers.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.038 align:middle line:84%
We can see things we could
never see before, at all.

00:00:37.038 --> 00:00:38.580 align:middle line:84%
So, the way we choose
what to look at

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:41.130 align:middle line:84%
is, we ask all astronomers
to send us proposals.

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:41.928 align:middle line:90%
"I've got an idea."

00:00:41.928 --> 00:00:42.720 align:middle line:90%
"I've got an idea."

00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:43.512 align:middle line:90%
"I've got an idea."

00:00:43.512 --> 00:00:46.800 align:middle line:84%
Let's choose the best
targets and the best reasons.

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.710 align:middle line:84%
This telescope is for
young people to use.

00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:53.070 align:middle line:84%
A lot of graduate
students won proposals,

00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:55.830 align:middle line:84%
and they're reporting their
results at our conference.

00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:59.460 align:middle line:84%
So, if you're in school and
you want to use this telescope,

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:00.360 align:middle line:90%
then work on it.

00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:02.070 align:middle line:90%
You can.

00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:03.960 align:middle line:84%
The part that interests
me now the most

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.030 align:middle line:84%
is the most distant
galaxies that have been

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:08.100 align:middle line:84%
magnified the most
by these lenses

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:09.810 align:middle line:90%
that Einstein told us about.

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:13.230 align:middle line:84%
So, we are seeing so much more
than I ever dreamed possible,

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:15.500 align:middle line:84%
and I just want to
know what's in them.

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:16.000 align:middle line:90%
