Imagine being able to see the moment time and the universe started!

Maybe we’d get a surprise and the “start” was something totally different to what we’ve come used to believing in?

At some point will we be able to witness the birth of our own Sun and our own Earth?

Will we ever be able to look through space time to look at our own Earth with dinosaurs roaming?

I guess we’d need to be far enough away from Earth with another telescope looking back at ourselves?

Space fascinated me, it has done so since Apollo 8 in 1968 when I was 7 years old.

I always wanted to live at Moonbase Alpha on the UFO TV programme when I was a kid and I was spellbound by those UFO’s and the aliens who had the green fluid in their masks ��
The topic is taken much more seriously then the "green masks" thing nowadays.....The sensors on the JWST are primed for exploration of the infra-red end of the spectrum (which allows the scope to see through all the dust clouds) and to analysis the chemical composition of planets already discovered by "The Kepler space telescope." for life signs or signatures..
The Senate in US has gone into behind doors investigations of the US air force recent conclusions on the subject and most recent released videos.
