From the broadcast: "Liftoff from a tropical rain forest at the edge of time itself."
What does that mean?
- sjburt 5y agoIt was “to the edge of time itself” which I guess is some kind of reference to the telescope being able to observe the early universe? It seemed kind of cheesy.
- jacquesm 5y agoIt is 'to the edge of time' and what they mean with it is that the JWST can look very far back into our past to the earliest days of the universe with its instruments that are capable of observing severely red-shifted wavelengths.
- 95014_refugee 5y agoIt means that someone was paid to talk, because radio dies hard. The idea that commentary should be informative and that content can speak for itself is (still) deeply threatening to many folks in the broadcast industry. See any sports broadcast for examples.
