I took a brief break from tornadoes to bring you a comet video... (Sorry I just love comets) Don't worry though! I have a brand new tornado video coming out next! Thanks for watching!
I'm fine with you making vids with whatever you want,👍but iwas wondering if I could make a request? It's just that Warner bros announced that they are going to be making a sequal to Twister entitled Twisters, and I wanted to hear your opinion about it in a video? And mybe Twister(1996) vs Into the storm (2014) thanks!
C/2020 F3 NEOWISE was the first comet I ever saw and damn it was beautiful. I set myself an alarm at 3:30 on July 9th, got up and out the balcony. Dawn was coming in and the sky is mostly blue with yellow at the horizon. Looked around and my jaw dropped, the comet was extremely bright and maybe 12° above horizon. I hit a lucky streak of clear days so I saw it every other night, slowly drifting away. It filled the whole view of my binoculars. Saw it last time on July 23rd. First and best comet.
May I interest you in comet tsuchinshan atlas? Said that it could reach a magnitude in the negatives, but as with all comets there’s also the chance it will disappoint us.
I will NEVER forget looking up on Comet Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp in 1996 and 1997. Quite incredible that two comets came that close to earth in such a short time period.
@@snickle1980lol I was about 11 at the time. Still a young teenager coming of age in the awesome 90s I remember being in my backyard watching it. Funny how I still remember those 18 days all these years later
Speaking of getting screwed, this video never appeared in my feed and based on the suspiciously low views, I’m willing to bet other people got screwed too. You should share it in the community tab so more people can see it! This video really highlights your personality and sense of humor
I am glad I am old enough that I got to see the Hale-Bopp comet and remember it. It was incredible. It felt like it was going to stay in the sky forever. Granted I was 7 years old and 6 months was forever. I remember going to crockett texas multiple times during it and in crockett there is very little light pollution so it was incredibly bright. I wish I had been older to really grasp how incredible it was but I am glad I have a memory of it. Knowing that it was only discovered a couple of years before it was really visible gives me hope that we will have another like it in the near future.
I really wish I could have seen Hale-Bopp, my parents state that they took us kids to an observatory to check it out, but I have no memory of it at all :/. Im sure something will show up soon.. In the next twenty years hopefully haha
Small world, I just watched the latest eclipse in Crockett Tx. I did see Hale-Bopp in the 90’s, but I only have the faintest memory of it since I was only six years old.
@@SwegleStudios I was told i witnessed Haley through my grandfathers telescope at 5 or 6 years old, but same deal. Very little memory of it. I DO remember some event where more than one planet was visible with the naked eye...but that can't possibly be correct, right? That had to have been a false memory as a child. But i do remember being in the back yard that night...better than nothing! Maybe we'll both live to see the next pass by Haley.
That would be quite the coincidence, but if it's large enough, there would be a massive explosion and the tornado/entire supercell would likely dissipate.
Yeah! Graduated from WVU in 2020. Born and raised in Michigan though. Would love to see a video about the flint beecher tornado if you ever were interested in doing something about that!
I would guess that a lot of tornado watchers would love to see a comet. A lot of us are sky aficionados, sunrise, sunset, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, meteor showers, planetary alignments, comets, we love it all. Thanks for this video!
Hey. 😐 We're on the same page. These topics mesh well, and as a tornado enthusiast, i say that _As long as you don't stray too far from the natural phenomena theme, we're good._ I imagine most of us will also enjoy tsunamis, Extreme gravity wells, extreme pressures, Whirlpools, Dam engineering failures, and other loosely related themes.
Fun fact: In January 1996, an amateur astronomer named Yuji Hyakutake was looking for comets with a powerful set of binoculars when he saw something interesting and reported it to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, who later confirmed that it really was a comet. The now called Comet Hyakutake passed at 0.1 AU (15 million km), which is very close in terms of astronomy, and was seen with the naked eye in March 1996. Imagine if Mr. Hyakutake had not discovered the object, or if it was potentially dangerous to Earth?
Its crazy that comet Hyakutake was so close to Earth on March 25th that people could actually watch it move against the stars. Just goes to show that a random comet from the Oort Cloud could show up at anytime and be a potential threat to Earth!
I remember Hale-Bopp quite well. In Chicagoland, it was this tiny little smudge in the sky & you had to know where to look. I was in SE KY & what a difference that was! My late husband was driving through the mountains on US Hwy 25E & I was in the back seat. I knew I had to be looking out the back window (not a comfortable position with a seatbelt on). That sucker covered the width of the rear window of my Honda Accord. I was astounded on how it looked without light pollution. It was so frustrating because the comet would get hidden by a mountain briefly & appear again. I just wanted to stop the car a STARE. I'll never forget it.
No for real. I just found this channel. Weather, space and history? SIGN ME UP. @Swegle Studios I always start a channel and watch videos chronologically. If you tell me you like volcanoes and historical eruptions too, I will ABSOLUTELY lose it 🤩😂
That was cool. And I would watch you talk about meteorites as well, I got curious when you showed that one in 2:23. Generally your content about meteorology and astrology is great, thank you!
If you happen to read comments long after the fact then I wanted you to know that I just discovered your channel from one of your other non-tornado related videos and that despite the low views on this particular one I liked it and have liked all of your videos I've watched so far - most of which were your random non tornado related ones. You make great videos! Don't be afraid to keep expanding!
That's fantastic that you're doin a vid on comets.... The clearest naked eye comet I've ever seen was Hale / Bop comet in "97". It was really bright in the night sky through March and April. I had just moved to the small community of Ashland Oregon and back then the. Internet was just starting to take off and people were using it to share photos and comment on the comet. It had had an apparent magnitude of about -2 between March and April. Hell..... That thing was visible with the naked eye for over a year. And had the two tails visible. ( The blue ion tail and the dust tail ). Not as pretty as some of the other comet but what a site. One of the brightest comets of the last century. And huge with a diameter of 35 miles or more.😎
I remember Neowise. That was the first time I saw a comet. Me and my family had been hunting for it for three days. On day three, I left right as the sun was setting and spotted something off to the right side of the sunset. Using my binoculars, I spotted the comet. I called my family through my phone and told them to get outside because I found the comet. I even have a picture of the comet on my phone. I enjoy astronomy and I even took it as a part of my senior schedule. Aced it with an A. And for my nineteenth birthday, my family got me a telescope so I can observe planets and other events with it.
There will be a great comet next year in Oct of 2024. The comet is called C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS the comet will reach a magnitude of -0.2 and that's without Forward scatter which will likely make the comet brighter. It is expected to survive as it will be father away from the sun than Mercury and plus it's big.
I'm a little late to this one but this is a nice change of pace. Two of my favorite subjects are astronomy and meteorology, so seeing this from you is amazing!
@@SwegleStudios my pleasure! Always wanted to be a storm chaser and still do. I also love stargazing. It's just so relaxing. Also, love the mystery and history ones. Pretty interesting!
As someone who is old enough to have vague memory of Hale-Bopp in 1995, I concur and share your angst on the few and far between vivid comet sightings.
I got to watch Hale-Bopp when I was like 13. But the only reason I remember it was since I grew up on the shore of South Jersey and it was summer there was alot of light pollution. But one night my friends and I decided to skateboard/rollerblade a few streets over because it was freshly paved. As soon as we hit that fresh road all the power went out in Mystic Islands NJ and surrounding areas. Thats when we immediately noticed how awesome Hale-Bopp looked, we all stopped skating and stared at the comet for an hour. Until for some unknown reason the Air National Guard started dropping aerial flares that parachuted down and were blindingly bright. The Airforce/Air National Guard denied they dropped flares even though hundreds of people took photos. The husband and wife that lived directly across the street from me were both either Airforce or Air National Guard pilots also watched the comet and the flares. They said it was definitely Air National Guard dropping them and they definitely are not supposed to drop them that low over populated areas since they can start fires. The Air National Guard in our area was always doing dumb sh*t, no lie you can actually google this, the Intermediate school I went to on Frog Pond rd. Tuckerton NJ was shot up by a F-16 jet that mistook my school for the practice target, luckily it was at night. There was only a janitor in the school and he wasn't injured.
It's funny. We're overdue for a Great Comet, and we're overdue for a Supernova. Imagine if both of them happened at the same time. It would be both a blessing and a curse for astronomers, as the sky would become effectively completely washed out by the shining light of both events.
I am 17yo and French. And dang, I remember seeing a faint, but noticeable neowise in the sunrise sky when it was most visible from France. My mom, cousin and I drove further from the city to have a good, clear sky, and we waited for the sun to rise up so that we could actually see the comet. This was the first time I tried out the pro settings of the phone photography app, and good thing I did cause I would have not gotten the amazing photos I got. My cousin did have his photography camera and got some dope pics. I also took pictures of the trees around us, and the view of my city in the sunrise... Great morning that day!
I was driving home in florida a few years ago and a comet flew through the sky and lit everything up like it was daytime, this was around midnight or so probably. Totally illuminated everything for a few seconds.
It’s important to remember that the hype about Hale-Bopp being a space ship was stirred up by a radio personality named Art Bell, who’d pivoted from “politics” to woo-woo stuff. Bell would give breathless updates every week, misinterpreting photographs of Hale-Bopp’s travel, and tying it up with Biblical scare stuff.
Wow, barely mentioned a spectacular comet that many here likely saw, Hale Bopp. I could just walk out in the street at night for a week or two and see this magnificent beauty extremely well within city lights. Out in the West Texas Desert it was beyond belief!
@7:19 I think you meant positive 5 not negative. I wrote up a chart that shows these objects. Let me know if I made any mistakes but I think it's accurate. *** Visible to the Naked Eye (Brighter than +5.5): * -26.74 | The Sun * -12.74 | Full Moon * -4.89 | Venus (varies between -4.0 and -5.0) * -2.94 | Jupiter (varies between -2.0 and -3.0) * -2.91 | Mars (varies widely depending on opposition) * -1.46 | Sirius * -1.00 | Comet Hale-Bopp (1997; varies widely) * -0.03 | Vega (varies slightly) * +0.85 | Aldebaran (Taurus; varies slightly) * +1.98 | Polaris *** Visible Under Perfect Conditions (Dark Site, Unaided Eye): * -6.00 | ISS (reflecting sunlight; varies greatly) * +5.0 | Uranus (varies between +5.5 and +6.0) 🍑😉 * +5.5 | Brightest star in M31 (NGC 224) * +6.0 | Ceres (typically around +6.7 to +7.0) *** Not Visible to the Naked Eye (Dimmer than +5.5): * +10.0 | Eris (dwarf planet) * +12.4 | Makemake (dwarf planet) * +13.0 | Haumea (dwarf planet) * +14.0 | Pluto (dwarf planet; typically around +14 to +15)
I own a few telescopes and the 203mm or 8 inch can see to 14 magnitude, but my favorite one is 150mm or 6 inches can view to 13 magnitude. I remember as a kid looking forward to Halley's Comet return and was bummed I couldn't see it.
I remember seeing hale bopp as a kid, if only i could comprehend at the time that i probably wouldnt get the chance to see another. Even though i knew it wasnt due back for 2500 years... i figured there would be others.
Everyone here who is to the be a future meteorologist, astronomer, storm chaser, passion filled viewer of the stars it is now our commitment to Swegle to name something after him
Lol, I DO live in the desert on top of a mountain, the sky is, as you'd say, "freakin' sweet!" This guy sounds like Peter Griffin telling Lois about comets haha!
9:47 Magnitude is a logarithmic scale. The difference between a magnitude -10 object and a -5 object isn't "half" as bright, but rather 100 times dimmer.
13:59 = Kitty! I saw Hale Bopp, it was over the new Target at the time. Everyone was oooing and ahing over the Target grand opening, and we were watching Hale Bopp. Eventually people started looking to see what we were looking at. At one time, the comet would have been panic inducing and momentous. In 1997, Target was much more important to most.
Some comets, some of which likely don't even come from the solar system, often have parabolic or even hyperbolic orbits. They will never return to the solar system, and are shot out into deep space. As such, they are also hard to predict ahead of time, and are usually observed a few years before perihelion (closest approach to the Sun). Those usually have official names that are marked with C/
hale-bopp was a bit of a disappointment for me. it was awesome that it was there, but you kind of had to look for it. hale-bopp was no show-off in spite of its size. my parents both saw ikeya-seki when they were kids and my mom said it was pretty scary seeing it at dawn while walking to school.
I think it's good food for thought to point out that short period comets are some of the best lines of evidence pointing towards a young solar system. Haley's Comet is a short period comet that swings around about every ~76 years. Each time it does, it loses more and more material becoming smaller and will eventually reach the point of complete exhaustion. If the comet was created at the same time the planets were created, then it should have been gone billions of years ago. Thus, either Haley's Comet started absurdly large, was created recently, or the solar system is younger than we're being led to believe. Personally, I think that short period comets were made relatively recently by solar micronovas/large CME's that impacted the oceans of Earth and Mars which boiled off seawater. The H2O would eventually aggregate and combine with meteors/space debris and be turned into beautiful sun orbiting dirty snowballz. I just wanted to point that out, bc it's a topic that I don't often hear talked about even though it's quite interesting to consider the implications.
I saw comet McNaught! I am in Australia haha. It was cloudy for most of the time that it was meant to be visible where I am so it was only one night that I did see it but it was very cool
I am hoping for another bright comet to bless our skies in the Northern Hemisphere because I was unable to see NEOWISE in 2020. Damn trees got in the way and since it was covid... we couldn't really get out anywhere to view it.
In order for the same comets to continue to appear and orbit our Sun which is traveling through space there must be another Sun or Sun's that are also traveling at the same speed and direction as our Sun. In a sense, It's like they are playing a game of catch or ping-pong.

One of the few good things to come out of 2020.. Hopefully we can have an even brighter one soon!
I wasn’t able to see it naked eye. But I saw the nucleus through my telescope, once in a lifetime perhaps.
Neowise was gorgeous.
I hope your generation gets it's Hale-Bopp someday.
May I interest you in comet tsuchinshan atlas?
Said that it could reach a magnitude in the negatives, but as with all comets there’s also the chance it will disappoint us.
Saw Halley in '86 as a little kid (I was in 3rd grade) it was "meh"
And hale bopp in the 90s. That was pretty bitchin'
I will NEVER forget looking up on Comet Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp in 1996 and 1997. Quite incredible that two comets came that close to earth in such a short time period.

What would happen if a large, violent tornado was in progress and a meteor fell out the sky and hit the ground and blew up inside the tornado
Depends on size (Dont take out of context please)
That would be quite the coincidence, but if it's large enough, there would be a massive explosion and the tornado/entire supercell would likely dissipate.
@@SwegleStudios pretty quickly too
Are you maybe 12 years old?

when I was a kid in the late 1960s in texas there was a comet so bright you could even see it in the daytime white in the sky like the moon.
there must be photos of it
Sounds like Ikeya-Seki.
SpSpectacular comet in 65' long before my time though.
I love it when your cat appears in a video
My great grandmother said the 1910 comet was Haleys. I never knew any different until this video. Thank you

Seeing Hale-Bopp for over a year when I was 13 was amazing. I even got to see it from a plane coming back to Connecticut from Florida
Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work
Thank you very much!
Wow, barely mentioned a spectacular comet that many here likely saw, Hale Bopp. I could just walk out in the street at night for a week or two and see this magnificent beauty extremely well within city lights. Out in the West Texas Desert it was beyond belief!
Every comet a gangster until Betelgeuse explodes.
Every comet gangster.* 😂😉
Dude, I like comets, that's why I'm here. Thx for the vid.
Buuuuuut, you give off some major Steve Harrington vibes.
10,000 years, huh...fine, I'll wait.
Hale Bopp was amazing! Been waiting for something that cool ever since.
I'm hoping C/2022 E3 (ZTF) keeps getting brighter! Neowise was cool!
I remember Hale Bopp. It was so cool seeing that up in the sky every night. I live in a good dark sky place at the time.
@7:19 I think you meant positive 5 not negative. I wrote up a chart that shows these objects. Let me know if I made any mistakes but I think it's accurate.
*** Visible to the Naked Eye (Brighter than +5.5):
* -26.74 | The Sun
* -12.74 | Full Moon
* -4.89 | Venus (varies between -4.0 and -5.0)
* -2.94 | Jupiter (varies between -2.0 and -3.0)
* -2.91 | Mars (varies widely depending on opposition)
* -1.46 | Sirius
* -1.00 | Comet Hale-Bopp (1997; varies widely)
* -0.03 | Vega (varies slightly)
* +0.85 | Aldebaran (Taurus; varies slightly)
* +1.98 | Polaris
*** Visible Under Perfect Conditions (Dark Site, Unaided Eye):
* -6.00 | ISS (reflecting sunlight; varies greatly)
* +5.0 | Uranus (varies between +5.5 and +6.0) 🍑😉
* +5.5 | Brightest star in M31 (NGC 224)
* +6.0 | Ceres (typically around +6.7 to +7.0)
*** Not Visible to the Naked Eye (Dimmer than +5.5):
* +10.0 | Eris (dwarf planet)
* +12.4 | Makemake (dwarf planet)
* +13.0 | Haumea (dwarf planet)
* +14.0 | Pluto (dwarf planet; typically around +14 to +15)
The sky was a lot darker than today you could see everything back then.
Please make more of astronomy content, I love it
I remember comet hale bop and hyukatake in the 90s. I was just a kid (like 13) and it was so cool to look in the sky and see it.
I would love to see some more space videos
Sounds good! More to come!
I own a few telescopes and the 203mm or 8 inch can see to 14 magnitude, but my favorite one is 150mm or 6 inches can view to 13 magnitude. I remember as a kid looking forward to Halley's Comet return and was bummed I couldn't see it.
just found your channel about to spend hours watching everything
Thanks for watching!
Great job with the video :] At least personally I wouldn't mind seeing more of these off topic videos
I’m just here for the comet section.
I remember seeing hale bopp as a kid, if only i could comprehend at the time that i probably wouldnt get the chance to see another. Even though i knew it wasnt due back for 2500 years... i figured there would be others.
Hope to see more theses type of videos
Comets are the tornados of space
your so genuine
No love for my boy Hale-Bopp? That's an all time comet.
Yeah.. I probably should have added Hale-Bopp to the chart haha
Everyone here who is to the be a future meteorologist, astronomer, storm chaser, passion filled viewer of the stars it is now our commitment to Swegle to name something after him
Loved the cat in the outro
Space is truly the final frontier, you can find it everywhere
Great video ❤
bestie I am begging you pls make more comet/astronomy content I neeeeed it
7:24 Mistake? I feel like I can definitely something whose brightness is between that of Venus and the Moon, lol. I guess you mean +7.5?
Lol, I DO live in the desert on top of a mountain, the sky is, as you'd say, "freakin' sweet!"
This guy sounds like Peter Griffin telling Lois about comets haha!
9:47 Magnitude is a logarithmic scale. The difference between a magnitude -10 object and a -5 object isn't "half" as bright, but rather 100 times dimmer.
Nice outro music choice :)
13:59 = Kitty! I saw Hale Bopp, it was over the new Target at the time. Everyone was oooing and ahing over the Target grand opening, and we were watching Hale Bopp. Eventually people started looking to see what we were looking at. At one time, the comet would have been panic inducing and momentous. In 1997, Target was much more important to most.
Some comets, some of which likely don't even come from the solar system, often have parabolic or even hyperbolic orbits. They will never return to the solar system, and are shot out into deep space. As such, they are also hard to predict ahead of time, and are usually observed a few years before perihelion (closest approach to the Sun). Those usually have official names that are marked with C/
Super interesting! Thanks
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I just hope I get to see a comet with the naked eye, one of my goals in life
hale-bopp was a bit of a disappointment for me. it was awesome that it was there, but you kind of had to look for it. hale-bopp was no show-off in spite of its size. my parents both saw ikeya-seki when they were kids and my mom said it was pretty scary seeing it at dawn while walking to school.
Props on the new hair cut bro. I’m about to cut off the same style and length. Haha
Nice! It feels way better now, but I probably should have waited until after the winter haha
I'd keep the shorter hair and clean/just a slight beard look. Not being thirsty, it's just genuinely a better look for you! Thanks for the videos!
I think it's good food for thought to point out that short period comets are some of the best lines of evidence pointing towards a young solar system. Haley's Comet is a short period comet that swings around about every ~76 years. Each time it does, it loses more and more material becoming smaller and will eventually reach the point of complete exhaustion. If the comet was created at the same time the planets were created, then it should have been gone billions of years ago. Thus, either Haley's Comet started absurdly large, was created recently, or the solar system is younger than we're being led to believe.
Personally, I think that short period comets were made relatively recently by solar micronovas/large CME's that impacted the oceans of Earth and Mars which boiled off seawater. The H2O would eventually aggregate and combine with meteors/space debris and be turned into beautiful sun orbiting dirty snowballz. I just wanted to point that out, bc it's a topic that I don't often hear talked about even though it's quite interesting to consider the implications.
Halley's in 86 looked to my naked eye as a bit of a smudge. Cool, but I wished for better. A long time go. I was 16.
2061 is not looking great either.. But Im sure we will get a few decent comets before then.
@@SwegleStudios if man is still alive
Hale-Bopp changed my life
Unfortunatly I was too young to really enjoy Hale-Bopp :/
Thank you!
I saw comet McNaught! I am in Australia haha. It was cloudy for most of the time that it was meant to be visible where I am so it was only one night that I did see it but it was very cool
I am hoping for another bright comet to bless our skies in the Northern Hemisphere because I was unable to see NEOWISE in 2020. Damn trees got in the way and since it was covid... we couldn't really get out anywhere to view it.
Same! I saw Neowise but conditions weren't ideal :/
Yesss someone else is as cheesed as me that we haven’t gotten a comet akin to historical depictions
Minute 14:00 was awesome.
first rignar comet ever teached to thyself have you ever noteached the cluster was bunsen array meaning the capture came from korealis
I remember watching Hale Bopp from my grandparents front yard...
In order for the same comets to continue to appear and orbit our Sun which is traveling through space there must be another Sun or Sun's that are also traveling at the same speed and direction as our Sun. In a sense, It's like they are playing a game of catch or ping-pong.
