Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast on the Blister Podcast Network.

0:07.9

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at

0:13.6

Okay, today we are doing something rather different here. If any of you listen to our

0:23.3

Gear 30 podcast conversation that I had with our reviewer Drew Kelly, that went up this

1:38.9

and put into perspective the images that the James Webb Telescope has produced.

2:03.6

attempt to work out what, in fact, we are seeing and what this might mean going forward.
