  1. Another great video. As an old paleo student, I'd just like to add that although a supernova may have played a role in the extinction of the woolly mammoths, it's fairly obvious from the evidence up to about 9000 years ago, when they were still around, that we humans had a big part in their ultimate demise.

  2. A mindblowing testimony to technology and ingenuity. Pluto will always be the ninth planet for me.

  3.  @duplodragon  Yes, that's a justifiable question, but I'm afraid there's no good answer, because there's no logical place to draw the line.

  4. You mean that there's no sharp line dividing asteroids from comets? Is the world more complex than the binary divisions of our language? Arghhhh! Nice work, subscribed.

  10.  @maaingan  No scientist will tell you that the classification of Pluto makes any difference whatsoever in what we know about it.

  11. Well, calculating Newtonian mechanics is child's play compared to, say, providing convincing graphics for a FPS at 100 fps.

  12. in addition to all these cool fact, both Captain Cook and Alexander von Humboldt sometimes relied on sightings of the emergence and disappearance of the Galilean moons to determine their latitude. How cool is that.

  14. @Smee Self Any political position that is to the left of Genghis Kahn is called "communism" in the US today.

  15.  @kitcanyon658  Btw, I haven't seen you much lately. Maybe I'm just tailing the wrong channels.

  18. Hmmm. Either quasars are not dangerous to us, so there's no reason to worry. Or they are a danger to us, but there's nothing we can do anyway, so there's also no reason to worry.
