One awesome TH-cam channel giving props and acknowledging another?! Love it!! Everyone check out Joe Hanson's channel - it's just as good as CC, it's just a different flavor. The more content the better, thank goodness for both of these great channels
Imagine after some 1000's of years people watching this video with subtitles and laughing at us, how much, yet how little we knew about our own solar system. btw best video i'v ever seen
This is great work! A video or two like this for the major learning series would greatly increase the immersion in learning. Such applications of technology are difficult, but when used for education the effort is worth it! Great job, Thought Café!
It was also hilarious how you also added random things floating around in space (including a Crash Course astronaut and what looked like a paper airplane)!
Thank you so much, I've loved watching all these episodes and will probably watch a couple of episodes again. You guys have probably the most fun/educational channel on youtube! Thank you again, Phil Plait and all your team!
I was watching while standing in my room in the dark on my iPad and moving around with the video, subconsciously following along. When it was over I went to sit down on my bed and almost fell down on the floor (luckily I caught myself). My bed seemed to have moved, and the illusion persisted for a bit. That's how engrossing this was, I loved it, it was worth the stumble. :)
I had no idea TH-cam could even do this! This is amazing! My mind is blown. It even works on mobile with tilt controls! Keep up the awesome work. Interactive utilities like this are invaluable to our youth and truly anyone wanting to learn.
So I saw a lot of spaceships, some astronauts (probably Hank or Phil), silver surfer, star destroyer, TARDIS, lumpy space princess, USS Enterprise, Cosmos' spaceship of imagination, Greek mythical chariot of the sun (presumably rode by Helios or his son, Phaethon), UFO, and I think that's almost it! Tell me if I miss something!
+Fahad Assaf In my opinion, they could have made more out of the 360 video. One did not gain any new information by turning. College Humor made a brilliant example of a 360 video. If you did not turn your sight, you would have believed mike his story, beacause it was fully convincing, as long as you only watched him, as he told you in the beginning. If you however decided to watch the rebell and watch the Background your view was not only very interesting and funny, it also revieled that he was a liar. people seemed friendly and normal and friendly or creepy and strange depending on your actions.
Woahh. Did anyone else just stare at the sun blankly and wonder if anything was going to happen, and then proceeded to be absolutely mindblown when you figured it out?
Well that's it. I've watched all 47 episodes. I actually just did my first optically assisted observations last night and seen Mars clearly through my telescope. I also observed some blue giants, and plan on observing the Orion cloud tonight. Thanks for everything Phil, this was a very good series and I enjoyed it every step of the way. Cheers and good luck to all.
So many Easter eggs in this video. I saw the TARDIS, Rick and Morty's ship, the Ship of the Imagination from Cosmos, Helios's chariot, Lumpy Space Princess, the Silver Surfer, the Planet Express ship from Futurama, multiple Star Wars ships, and someone in a spacesuit. Did I miss anything?
I usually watch theses while doing dishes on my phone, I didn't realized it tracked until I picked up my phone to watch another video, and had to re watch as I spun around in my kitchen.
+Polyvinyl Films Go watch some of go-pro's 360 videos ( or by the use of this shameless plug, watch a minecraft one at "Smithboysgaming minecraft server preview"
I loved all of the characters flying by, but I especially enjoyed Silver Surfer and TARDIS because I absolutely love Doctor Who and Marvel Comics :) Thanks for adding them in!
Thank you for this series. I just finished the whole thing. Loved every single one of the videos. It's a gift that a channel and content like this exist in the world!
+emptyskullify We optimized the viewing area for CardBoard so more people could experience it or teachers could share it in class rooms. Glad you got to experience that!
WOWWWW THIS is exactly you guys deserve all the patreon money and sponsorships you can get! you create the most well thought and amazingly designed content on youtube BRAVO! and thanks! please do more of these! all the hugs from Chile!
So far I spotted: the Planet Express space ship, Apollo, a CC astronaut, another astronaut with glasses (Phil?), a purple creature, the Tardis, Silver Surfer I assume, an imperial star destroyer, a weird space ship with two guys and an oblong thing (a satellite?) near Neptune. Any hint?
+TheLineCutter Fort Minors recent music video used it as well, College humor has an office tour with this sort of video, there are many on youtube, it just requires a fancy camera. Very good with VR sets
+TheLineCutter It's not that special. Imagine a hires video where you are zoomed into a small part. That's what you see and also why you have such poor resolution even though you have selected "HD". The only thing that's really different from a simple zoomed in video is that there is distortion added while displaying to give the effect of looking around and not just panning.
If you flatten the video out, it'd be in 1080p. The "s" is basically saying "in 360 video mode" but directly means "spherical". It's taking a normal 1080p video (that wouldn't look very normal at that point) and stretching it in a sphere around a point that the video allows you to "look around" in.
+HE NEED SOME MILK When watching 360 video you pretty much have to pick 4K(2160P) if you want good quality or the video will look like shit. 1080p is not really 1080p when the video is spherical. However most people's computers can't handle 4K or their internet is not fast enough, so they will have a shitty experience. Also the best way to watch these videos is on your phone.
+karthik11512 Actually what you mean to say is 1080p is not equal to 1080s so you have to use 2160s to get comparable quality to 1080p. It's because the stream is much larger in canvas area if you imagine it flattened out
You mean, it's got the right way of measuring stuff, in scientifically accurate SI units instead of an old outdated imperial system. Why do some Americans think that the world revolves around em?
Nice video! Also, at 3:52 you can see Neil's spaceship from Cosmos: A space time odyssey Near the end you can also see lumpy princess near Jupiter Actually, there are a lot of things hidden through the video. I think there was a Silver Surfer somewhere
Sooooooo coooooooool I'm basically an astronaut now. Thanks guys!
Looks like you've been beaten this time. TAKE YOUR GLORY!
+It's Okay To Be Smart But you need a contact lens because Astronaut can't wear glasses in space ;)
One awesome TH-cam channel giving props and acknowledging another?! Love it!! Everyone check out Joe Hanson's channel - it's just as good as CC, it's just a different flavor. The more content the better, thank goodness for both of these great channels
It's Okay To Be Smart i
You can’t just be an astronaut that fast
Imagine after some 1000's of years people watching this video with subtitles and laughing at us, how much, yet how little we knew about our own solar system. btw best video i'v ever seen
We need another one of these for anatomy and physiology!
All I can say is ewwwwww
+Kai Widman this.
genius
AND HISTORY
+Sebastian Carrier anatomy? 360 about where the food goes? ewww gross
Hands down the coolest video i've ever seen on TH-cam.
Hands up squirrel, I wiill eat cereal for dinner because you are under arrest
We loved making this video! We're happy to see so many of you enjoying it!
You did an amazing job! Thank you!!
+Thought Café easter eggs were much more interesting than the main topic.
What sorcery is this!? Burn the witches! ... After they do one for the Milky Way...and maybe the larger galactic neighborhood, too...
This is great work! A video or two like this for the major learning series would greatly increase the immersion in learning. Such applications of technology are difficult, but when used for education the effort is worth it!
Great job, Thought Café!
I loved all of the little details (LSP, Tardis, etc.)
DID ANYONE SEE LUMPY SPACE PRINCES AT 4:09
hahaha
Post Water-Malone we
Wow
Justin Pang oh my glorb
what
I didn't know you could move around the video with your finger. I was walking around my room in a slow circle
LoL me too
thanks to you, i recognized that can move around with finger. haha
THANK YOU!!!
Oh sure, NOW you tell me...
I was on the toilet when this came up in my feed, so I sat for five minutes turning around gradually while trying to poo :P
It was also hilarious how you also added random things floating around in space (including a Crash Course astronaut and what looked like a paper airplane)!
Guys make sure to give them a like!!!! It probably took weeks to make this!
+TehGoldenFox Fox more like months ;)
+Nick Counter more like years
+Edwin Cuellar (Food) more like decades
Agreed
Nah. I think them using my money to make this will suffice.
Thank you so much, I've loved watching all these episodes and will probably watch a couple of episodes again. You guys have probably the most fun/educational channel on youtube! Thank you again, Phil Plait and all your team!
Please do more of these!!!
Yeah, please do!!!
+Deebo Molina A tour of historical events as animated by thought bubble. I WANT IT!
+Playstation Newbie idk, they have to be really careful with what historical events they choose.
+Playstation Newbie that is great idea
+xenoblad the mongols!

one of the most creative and cool video ever exist
Most agreed!
agreed
+Fahad Assaf In my opinion, they could have made more out of the 360 video. One did
not gain any new information by turning.
College Humor made a brilliant example of a 360 video. If you did not
turn your sight, you would have believed mike his story, beacause it was
fully convincing, as long as you only watched him, as he told you in the beginning. If you however decided to watch the rebell and watch the Background your view was
not only very interesting and funny, it also revieled that he was a
liar. people seemed friendly and normal and friendly or creepy and strange depending
on your actions.
+Symbiotic Coherence which video are you referencing? (I only just now realized that the TH-cam app had this function)
this video is basically the proof of concept for all 360 videos to be used as educational tools. Well done thoughtcafe!
I was watching this video wondering why the hell it wasn't doing anything as he was talking. Then I realised I could pan around. WHAT MAGIC IS THIS
welcome to 2017
if it isnt for you，im still wondering
thanks for this comment, I was just doing the same thing haha
@Ayaan Khan no it is not vr , it is 360 degree video.
Woahh. Did anyone else just stare at the sun blankly and wonder if anything was going to happen, and then proceeded to be absolutely mindblown when you figured it out?
lumpy space princess, the tardis and a character in an astronaut suit are floating around. 😂
+Jaden Smith and the Ship of Imagination from the Cosmos reboot.
+Jaden Smith there was also a Star Destroyer near Mars at one point
+Jaden Smith also the ship from futurama
+Jaden Smith Rick and Morty were there too!
+Jaden Smith I also noticed a Base Star near Pluto at the end of the video.
Well that's it. I've watched all 47 episodes. I actually just did my first optically assisted observations last night and seen Mars clearly through my telescope. I also observed some blue giants, and plan on observing the Orion cloud tonight. Thanks for everything Phil, this was a very good series and I enjoyed it every step of the way. Cheers and good luck to all.
Spent the first half of the video just listening to him without realizing you could move it around.
"Doobly Doo" always makes me crack up, no matter how serious the context is.
So many Easter eggs in this video. I saw the TARDIS, Rick and Morty's ship, the Ship of the Imagination from Cosmos, Helios's chariot, Lumpy Space Princess, the Silver Surfer, the Planet Express ship from Futurama, multiple Star Wars ships, and someone in a spacesuit. Did I miss anything?
Cylinder base star? USs enterprise?
Good Catch.
+WeirdNarwhal886 Monolith near the "ceiling"
+fluffy nice catch
+Ron Hatcher yea, typo
THIS IS AMAZING!!!! THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME I WRITE IN ALL CAPS IN 18+ YEARS OF USING THE INTERNET, THAT'S HOW AMAZED I AM!!!
At the mars part its the TARDIS if you look at the sun
Why would you look at the sun? You'd go blind...
No.
+Deathcap Rabadon (Deathcap9087)
There was also another part where I saw Hank (I think) in a space suit.
There's also a teapot that floats between Earth and Mars at one point.
+Deathcap Rabadon (Deathcap9087) Lumpy Space Princess sighted.
Very cool! I didn't know the Purple People Eater was a Belter.
+sgirardacus7 Thats lumpy space princes from adventure time
+sgirardacus7 It's Lumpy Space Princess from adventure time
+sgirardacus7 not many people are old enough to understand that joke...i only get it because I'm a Vikings fan.
I usually watch theses while doing dishes on my phone, I didn't realized it tracked until I picked up my phone to watch another video, and had to re watch as I spun around in my kitchen.
I did not know it was possible to do something like this in youtube
It's been possible for quite some time actually...
+Polyvinyl Films Go watch some of go-pro's 360 videos ( or by the use of this shameless plug, watch a minecraft one at "Smithboysgaming minecraft server preview"
There is nothing more true than what you said. In science, there is always something new to learn.
0:55 found Rick and Morty, and from this point on i knew, i was going to spend a lot of time reference hunting...
CORRECT
YES
I NEEDED THIS FOR HOMEWORK BUT NEVERMIND
The fact that we have the tech to do this is awesome.
This channel has helped me a lot as a student! Got an A for my astronomy class last semester. Thank y'all so much and keep it up!
I was excited just have Phil do another video. As soon as I saw I could move it, I ran down two sets of stairs to show my husband.
That was SO COOL. I definitely didn't realize I could click & drag until Venus...
It took half a video for me to grasp the concept of a 360 deg video (I just woke up) but anyways this is AMAZING
At 2:53, is that the Silver Surfer?
w/c angle?
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky Don't forget the star destroyer at 2:46 near mercury.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky it was rick and morty
+alex vargas No? Rick and Morty show up at 0:51. That was the silver surfer.
+Klein Fletchers a question i thought i would never hear when watching a video
my inner space nerd is screaming so much rn this is the coolest video
I caught a raindeer or something running over the sun. Nice touch!
+Kim Philipp Möllgaard actually its Helios and his chariot, from the old Greek myth
Are you f*cking kidding me? This is beyond amazing, it's like my childhood wish come true.
I love this 360 interactive video!!
this video should have a billion views.
Is this... the future of education?
I loved all of the characters flying by, but I especially enjoyed Silver Surfer and TARDIS because I absolutely love Doctor Who and Marvel Comics :) Thanks for adding them in!
3:31 *Sees TARDIS* I'm happy now... :D
Same
Iknowright
You
Ikr
This is the greatest thing to exist on youtube.
Soooo many Easter Eggs!
Thank you for this series. I just finished the whole thing. Loved every single one of the videos. It's a gift that a channel and content like this exist in the world!
This is wonderful. Thank you all for the hard work put in to making this. (Psalm 19).
I love how they put the TARDIS, apollo in his chariot, and the cosmos spaceship into this. Ahhhh Thought Café
THIS IS AMAZING!!! So interactive and cool
I'm currently having a sick day…but I just got a tour of the solar system from my room! Awesome!
Wow... I have the google cardboard and its freaking Amazing!!!! KEEP IT UP!!! :D
+emptyskullify We optimized the viewing area for CardBoard so more people could experience it or teachers could share it in class rooms. Glad you got to experience that!
Many congrats for pushing the boundaries of TH-cam video education yet again with this interactive video. Awe inspiring.
Today is December 28th, 2019 and I just watched episodes 2 through 47 all in this one day.
I am just started to miss crash course Astronomy, and here it is! its awesome to hear Phil again:) and Thought cafe's visuals are so cool!
Now THIS is a 360° video.
WOWWWW
THIS is exactly you guys deserve all the patreon money and sponsorships you can get! you create the most well thought and amazingly designed content on youtube
BRAVO! and thanks!
please do more of these! all the hugs from Chile!
*This is Mass, one of the nine planets of the solar system*
-James Veitch
Technically
Best 360 animation I’ve ever seen of the solar system
So far I spotted: the Planet Express space ship, Apollo, a CC astronaut, another astronaut with glasses (Phil?), a purple creature, the Tardis, Silver Surfer I assume, an imperial star destroyer, a weird space ship with two guys and an oblong thing (a satellite?) near Neptune. Any hint?
+mikelor84 also, a cylon battleship.....................holy crap we're screwed!!! they found us!
A star wars star destroyer too
also the two guys in the oblong spaceship are Rick and Morty
I CAN TRULY SAY THIS WAS THE COOLEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Who needs school when you have these videos ^^
Nice to hear you again Phil Plait!
I love the interactive tour.
THAT IS THE BEST THING I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE
2:26
You can find jailbot from superjail (I think thats it)
This has got to be the best showing of what these types of videos hold for the future. This is awesome!!
HOW DO WE NOT HAVE HOVERBOARDS YET!?!!
I know that Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore, but given its recent visit and the great images taken, it deserved its own episode anyway...
Lol I saw a cylon base star :p this 360 interactive thing is really cool
echoy voice effect really made this experience work. subtle, but well done.
YOU GUYS SHOULD DO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!!
PLEASE HELP
It's there long ago
LSP near the asteroid belt at 3:30. 11/10 best video ever
What kind of video type is this? Where things are pre-rendered and you can rotate the camera? Never seen this before??
+TheLineCutter 360 video, been here for a long time already.
+TheLineCutter it's been possible since sometime last year but I've only seen one other video where it's done.
+TheLineCutter Fort Minors recent music video used it as well, College humor has an office tour with this sort of video, there are many on youtube, it just requires a fancy camera. Very good with VR sets

+superdau you have no idea what you're talking about
So maany easter eggs! The TARDIS, the Enterprise, Rick and Morty! Thank you for creating this amazing and wonderful video!
So if the "p" in 1080p means "progressive scan", what does "s" stand for?
+Ganaram Inukshuk Spherical. Basic purpose is for 360 videos like this.
If you flatten the video out, it'd be in 1080p. The "s" is basically saying "in 360 video mode" but directly means "spherical". It's taking a normal 1080p video (that wouldn't look very normal at that point) and stretching it in a sphere around a point that the video allows you to "look around" in.
MAN!!!!!!!!!! this is so goood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sharing it with everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me:finding a moon
Me: aw man no moons
Me:PLUTO YASS NOT FORGOTTTEN TO BE ADDED
How could this get so many dislikes? I know the information isn't in depth, but it is one of the first high quality 360 videos
Neptune is the last planet.. For now.
This has got to be the coolest video I've ever seen
Did anyone else have bad quality?
3d videos generaly suck in quality.

NOO actually the quality was superb but i think if you watch it on your phone or ipad,then yup the quality will suck
WHAAAAT I TAPPED THE SCREEN TO PAUSE IT AND IT MOVEDD IM SO AMAZED
I'll be back when i'm high
This is so cool! And I'm just very happy Pluto made it in here :>
This seems to be very biassed toward foreingners, can you do an American version please, thanks buddy!
David What do you mean? What would an American version be like?
You mean, it's got the right way of measuring stuff, in scientifically accurate SI units instead of an old outdated imperial system. Why do some Americans think that the world revolves around em?
americocentrism :-)
This is literally the coolest video on TH-cam.
This is a perfect use of 360 video technology
Thanks for including my fellow Buddy Pluto. :) Yea, he's small, but still a Planet for me
This is the first 360 degree video that I've seen that was well executed.
Space is so, so co-oo-oo-oo-ool. So coo-oo-oo-oo-ol. so cool!!!
Please don't end this series , Mr. Plait
The Solar System is all the planets organised in a ring with their collective barycentre directly above the sun, thanks Phil :P
So good to hear your voice again, Phil.
I never knew videos like this could exist! Amazing work, Thought Cafe!
Best. Video. Ever!!!!!!!!
Greatest 360 degree video ever!
I watched it on my selfmade google cardboard, the quality of my galaxy S4 isn't that great but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Thanks for being so awesome.
Nice video!
Also, at 3:52 you can see Neil's spaceship from Cosmos: A space time odyssey
Near the end you can also see lumpy princess near Jupiter
Actually, there are a lot of things hidden through the video. I think there was a Silver Surfer somewhere
I love all the little references peppered into the background for the ones who were looking! Nice job on the video, it looks really cool.
