  2. Fun Fact Myth: Callisto was a nymph who was seduced by Zeus, when he took the form of Artemis, whom she was in love with. They had a son, Arcus, who became a great hunter. Artemis kicked her to the curb, and Hera also found out and asked to speak to her manager. Irate, Hera transformed Callisto into a bear. Many years later, Arcus was hunting a bear, not kowing it was his mother. Seeing this all play out from Mount Olympus, Zeus blew Arcas and Callisto far away from each other and they each became constellations. Callisto became Ursa Major (the bear), and her son became Boötes (the herdsman).

  3. It's so nice to be able to see some great pictures of Mars without someone trying to tell me there's an alien gorilla or a dinosaur in the background.

  5. There is a classic mistake here: ion thrusters don't necessarily have "low thrust". In fact, in many cases there is literally no limit to how much thrust they can produce. The issue is the amount of power available - they produce low thrust simply because they lack the power to accelerate more propellant and generate higher thrust. So the issue is really not the engine, but the power source.

  6. I love your reasonable grounded take on the situation. The only things we know for sure is that we: -Have unknown objects flying in the sky, sometimes submerging underwater. -A non zero amount of objects are not able to be ruled out by glitches, human brain fallibility, or other issues -We don't know of any technology we have to match it That said. We need to destigmatize this or it becomes a strategic disadvantage. Imagine your enemy makes technological leaps, and you simply dismiss it because you believe it doesn't exist. It would be stupid to keep this stigmatized.

  10. Your channel is excellent. Beautiful images, pleasant low level background music, and clearly spoken word. Nice job as always. Hope it continues to grow.

  11. I really like how you briefly introduced the viewers to the topic. How the planets were found, what methods were used and to what accuracy, which later gave a perfect context for the rest of the video to show how weird it is for us not to spot such object or predict it in any way shape or form. Personally I want to believe something is out there, it would be amazing to find a new planet! So I stay neutral in the discussion of Planet Nine but Im still interested in the process and I hope the scientists will find something. How exciting would THAT be?! Great video! :3

  12. Insane that this star is 3000 light years away. So this means 37 flares are traveling towards us at any given moment. 😭

  13. Where Does Space Start? Just after the alt-key.

  15. Kyle hill highlighted last year how all this AI generated, clickbait misinformation science/space videos are a plague on this platform. It hurts knowing it has a knock on effect on genuine educational channels such as yours. Youtube isn’t doing enough to preserve quality content. I’ll be supporting the Astrum Patreon from the end of this month. I want to give something back for all the hours of joy your channel has given to me over the years. Thank you so much Alex/Astrum.

  23. Hello Alex, I’m a grandma from Manchester UK and I really enjoy your videos. I think they’re extremely well done and your delivery is perfect for me. You explore and explain things with a direct, clear manner. Plus, I enjoy the topics you share - even in my sixties I still love to learn.

  24. I didn't realize that the script was written by an A.I. before it was revealed, however, afterwards, I noticed something; a few key phrases were repeated many times. 'Vast amounts of data' for example. I'd have to watch the video again to remember the others but I don't ever recall any of your scripts being repetitive. So while I likely wouldn't have guessed it was written by an A.I., this video would've been easily forgotten. I also noticed that this video lacked your own personal fascination with the topic. For example, watching your videos on Pluto or Mercury, you can hear your personal investment into the topic because they truly interest and fascinate you. That was missing from this video. In any event, I'm thankful this was a one-off experiment. A.I. has a ways to go before it will capture what you (and your brother) show intrinsically.

  25. For but a fleeting moment, the canvass of endless space relinquished its darkness; pierced by the brilliant beacon of humanity's ardent aspirations. Dazzling, spectacular, its beauty blazoned the skies of a distant world with radiant hues. Perhaps those who might have witnessed it would have paused briefly, in awe.

  26. This channel is terribly undertated. Let's hope this video get into trending

  27. Why is Saturn your favourite?I am bigger...I am sad now.Douchebag, thinks she is better, because her rings are visible and bigger...

  28. Hi Alex, your productions are so well made, but your narrations are the best part, both the writing and the delivery. I'm an astronomy fan while being a complete layperson, with no training in any of the subject matter. I find your explanations easy to follow and understand compared to other physics and astronomy channels. They are also very engaging. Thank you.

  29. I love how the sound of a Black hole is absolutely terrifying yet the sound of two of them colliding is just like a "Bloop" 🤣

  30. I learned of this many years ago while studying electrical refrigeration. The vortex is exactly what is used in supermarket refrigerators that are permanently open.

  31. Alex is my best "go to sleep ASMR." After I let him sink in, I rewatch the next day to learn the lesson.
    327
  32. Getting to see this kind of stuff makes me happy to be living in this day and time. I just wish I could live to see beyond my years to see what other discoveries are made.

  34. Finally, the last episode! What a tenacious rover Opportunity was, he paved the way for all the following rovers. Can't wait for Perseverance to reach Mars!

  35. That last shot of Orion upside down was confusing to us up here in the northern hemisphere lol

  36. Alex, I may not be the only one who experiences this. I had to call my bank to let the payment for your book go through. Seems Astrum's website is not a bank's recognized seller, and it gets flagged from US banks as potential card fraud. To all wanting to buy the book, there's an easy fix if this happens to you. Just call your bank and have them unblock it for a few hours so your card can go through. Thank you Astrum, the publisher, and Alex for such a book. Keep it up, I genuinely enjoy the work you put together for us!

  37. i feel like in the future they should just put an extra gopro on their spacedrones for beauty shots

  38. I Ceresly like this channel. Thanks Alex!

  40. I just wanted to tell you that around 7 years ago i showed my daughter some interesting videos about space you made. And she fell absolutely in love with space. So much that she is 20 years old now and in her second year of college, earning her degree in Astro-Physics!! You planted a seed in her that had a thirst for space knowledge, we both have enjoyed your channel and videos for a long long time now, and hope to continue to see amazing content and learn so much from you. Thank you so much for showing my daughter a path, and always know that you have made a difference in someones life goals. Keep it up and you will never be alone in your love for space.

  41. This is the best summarization of the climate I've seen. It's rare I see the solar cycle discussed to the point of nucleation sites. I wish you had discussed the long-term brightening of our sun (models vary, but scientists estimate the sun was 30% dimmer during the time of the dinosaurs than today), as well as vulcanism. Regardless, this is the most comprehensive video I've seen and I wish more people would see it. I know I'll be sharing it with people.

  42. I've learned more science from this channel than I ever have stuck in a classroom 👌

  43. Because apparently there aren’t supposed to be leftover bits with the IKEA parts they ordered.

  44. Such an interesting solar system. It's been a significant area of interest for myself and my daughter. She is constantly bombarding me with questions about the Trappist-1 system and especially the Proxima Centauri system and related exoplanets. She is the one that pointed out your channel to me, and I've never regretted subscribing to your channel. Excellent subject matter, and outstanding research on your chosen content Alex. Keep up your good work.

  45. My boy and I love watching your videos at bedtime, a father - son tradition. Your somniloquent voice makes him sleepy. :) Thanks for the great vids and memories.

  46. Talking about forgotten moons, I know plenty about Saturn's largest moons, but know basically nothing about Rhea, despite it being the second largest after Titan

  47. The algorithm is wack, wish they pushed the educational stuff more. Love your channel and my thanks go out to you and your team.

  48. It's flippin incredible to me that literally every single planet in our solar system, the only solar system that contains life as we know it so far, is unique in their own way. I mean, if one contemplates the random nature of planetary formation, one might assume that the vast majority of planets should be fairly similar and "boring", bland dusty desolate rocks. But each and every single planet we have is utterly unique, even pluto and mercury with recent findings about their own oddities. That tied in with the fact that our Moon is the only moon in the solar system that is the exact right size and distance from its planet to cause a perfect solar eclipse that reveals the corona, a perfect solar eclipse which ONLY occurs in the solar system as seen from Earth (if you stand on mars, phobos wont produce such an eclipse, nor will any other moon seen from the surface of their parent planet). Contemplate that this perfect ratio ONLY occurs on the ONLY planet in the solar system with intelligent life on it. Also contemplate that during the earlier time of Earth, such as during the dinosaur ages, the moon was closer to Earth and as such would have blocked out the corona as well. This perfect ratio eclipse not only occurs around the ONLY planet with macroscopic life on it, it also ONLY occurs on this precise time when there are technologically advanced sentient beings here to witness it. I'm not saying it's by design, i'm merely saying, our solar system is absolutely astronomically impossibly unlikely in its perfection and layout at this precise time when we are here to observe it. If we evolved 200 million years later, the Moon wouldnt create a perfect eclipse anymore. Food for thought. Perhaps such celestial phenomena act as a catalyst, a spark, for creative self-awareness. If that were to be the case, one can only imagine the effect of a solar system embedded within a vast nebula as opposed to the dark skies of Sol.

  50. "No way I'll watch over an hour about comets." An hour and 23 mins in, "oh, it's over already?" Thanks Alex, this was fantastic.
