00:00:03.708 --> 00:00:06.250 align:middle line:84%
I think some of the things that
are really standing out to me

00:00:06.250 --> 00:00:09.340 align:middle line:84%
are the spectra we're seeing
because we've been seeing

00:00:09.340 --> 00:00:10.990 align:middle line:84%
a lot of images,
and it's only now

00:00:10.990 --> 00:00:13.960 align:middle line:84%
that people are starting to
get spectra and show spectra

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:15.070 align:middle line:90%
and that's exciting.

00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:16.690 align:middle line:90%
But now we have JWST.

00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:20.440 align:middle line:84%
JWST can offer different
aspects of data;

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.900 align:middle line:84%
high resolution,
high sensitivity.

00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:25.810 align:middle line:84%
So, we are able to address many
of those questions we could not

00:00:25.810 --> 00:00:26.793 align:middle line:90%
address before.

00:00:26.793 --> 00:00:28.210 align:middle line:84%
For the last year
and a half, I've

00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:31.051 align:middle line:84%
lived in theory and
simulations, and I'm

00:00:31.051 --> 00:00:32.259 align:middle line:90%
like, why isn't this working?

00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:33.130 align:middle line:90%
I don't understand this.

00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:33.670 align:middle line:90%
Blah, blah, blah.

00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:35.320 align:middle line:84%
But now that we
have data and we can

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.560 align:middle line:84%
see that our models
are kind of matching

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:38.560 align:middle line:90%
what we expected to see.

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.350 align:middle line:84%
But more importantly,
the simulator, MIRISim,

00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:43.570 align:middle line:84%
which simulates the
MIRI data, is also

00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:45.272 align:middle line:90%
behaving like we expect to see.

00:00:45.272 --> 00:00:47.230 align:middle line:84%
And, in fact, the instrument
is behaving better

00:00:47.230 --> 00:00:50.380 align:middle line:84%
than the simulator,
which is great.

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:54.620 align:middle line:84%
So yeah, that is one of the
perks of, I guess, using JWST.

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:57.500 align:middle line:84%
Everything's working so much
better than anybody thought.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:90%
