The speakers discuss listener questions about the James Webb Space Telescope and its ability to observe the birth of galaxies. They delve into the telescope's unanswered questions and the possibility of a failure in our understanding of celestial objects, expressing their excitement and joy in being stumped by these mysteries. Another topic of discussion is dark matter and its behavior in galaxies.
What does JWST tell us about galaxy formation? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice answer questions about galaxies, measuring the distance of far away objects, dark matter, primordial galaxies, and more!
