Thanks to NASA’s twitter feed (and my own not-so-top secret identity as @NASAWebbTelescp) I was alerted to this really cool YouTube video that talks about what is awesome about the James Webb Space Telescope. It was made by Hank Green as a part of vlogbrothers – which is a series of YouTube vids exchanged between Hank and his brother, author John Green. They’re generally about geek interest topics, which, combined with their entertaining style (not to mention John’s writing and Hank’s record label aimed at popular YouTube artists) has earned the brothers a large internet following.

Needless to say, Hank’s enthusiasm for the Webb totally won over the Project folks at NASA – and us as well! That’s all I’ll say for now – go take a look at the video and let us know what you think!

If you want to learn more about what makes the Webb Telescope awesome, you can check out our past posts/podcasts about the Webb, or the NASA project website. You can follow updates about the Webb’s progress on Facebook and Twitter.
