Cosmic puberty. Don't bring attention to it, it gets embarrassed.
-
'Why is there such a noticeable void around our celestial neighborhood & why do so many celestial objects appear redshifted?' "Think of that, as 'tail-lights'."
-
As they say, the most exciting statement in science isn't "eureka", it's "Hmm - that's funny."
-
Love how JWST is continuously revealing something is missing in our cosmological model. Good luck to astronomers/astrophysicists.
-
It's the galactic red light district. Its everywhere. 👽🐮

Toys for space kittens? ----Sorry, couldn't resist.
-
Astronomers get first image from newest advanced telescope. 'Damn it! More fuzzy red dots!

“My god, it’s full of red hots “

2024: The universe has chickenpox.

Stuck pixels in the simulation.

Im not sure if you do this for your living, probably more than just this though, but I really do hope you are doing very well Anton. Your way of explaining the seemingly unexplained to a layman is like no other. You make me feel as if im understanding these topics even though i really dont. The effort you put into these everyday goes far too unnoticed. Probably my favorite most consistent youtuber. KEEP BEING AWESOME!

lets call them lil red corvettes

anton you truly restore my faith in our species with your curious mind and passion for learning. in that way i try to be more like you and you help keep my mind together and on track because you upload so consistently. i wish i had more money to spare for you but i swear as long as you keep making these videos i will always be here to watch and eventually i will be able to support you more. thank you anton <3

Great re[porting Anton -- at 76 I am thankful for living in a time of such discovery -- the plot thickens

The first law of the Universe: There is always one extra mystery.

I love how you break down such a complex topic into understandable segments. The discovery of these strange red dots by JWST is mind-blowing, and your explanation of potential theories behind them is very clear. It's exciting to think about what these discoveries could mean for our understanding of the universe. Your enthusiasm for space exploration is infectious!🥰

It's getting clearer that we likely: - can't estimate star age by spectroscopy (as in stars likely form different atoms according to different criteria) - can't estimate distance by redshift alone - have no idea what the early Universe actually looks like

I spilled my glitter can….shit went EVERYWHERE!

Galactus is seasoning us before dunking us in hotsauce

Dead pixels.
