Dude, just *discovered* your channel, and as someone who listens to a ton of astronomical content throughout the day, Astrum is by far the best. Really, out of this world.
I second this sentiment, these episodes are beautifully crafted, spectacular visuals full of light and packed with information! Thank you Astrum team for all your work
I watch Astrum on a big tv with the lights off at bedtime with my little daughters. I believe they'll remember it when they're old ladies. Thank you Astrum 👍
@@TimberwolfCY His accent reminds me of my fellow international students. I think he's German born and grew up in the UK, with either one or both parents not being from Britain. Kind of like my accent.
It's absolutely mindblowing. I can't image how complicated it must be to even vaguely create such a path. Some aweseome algorithm and some huge computational power I guess...
Astrum earned my subscription on the second video I watched of his a few years ago. It's consistency high quality content on interesting space material with super visuals and really relaxing vocals. This and SEA are my go-to's.
Been Binging SEA and Issac Authur past few day and this is definitely up there with them. If you have not found Issac's channel yet I highly recommend. Some people are bothered by his speech but after I got use to it it is honestly part of the charm and I am not sure the channel would be the same without the speech impediment.
I went to go watch the launch of Lucy after watching this video which was only 15 hours ago. I’m super excited to see and learn about what it starts discovering. Thank you for your always amusing videoS. This channel is truly the best.
@@kylaxial its a nearby smallish galaxy probably going to be absorbed into the andromeda galaxy one day and then into our own galaxy when andromeda collides with ours
I think they've already sent out a probe back in Obama days, under the armegadon set up he made, which now there's two asteroids after a failed attempt of destroying it fully the first time... Armegadon!!! This unified field is a trip..😂
I have so much respect for you. These videos are not only entertaining, but educational as well. Thank you for making this information so accessible and enjoyable!
Thank you for the video. I was wondering what trojans are and how they work for a long time. Now I finally know thanks to the images, graphs and schemes in the video.
You do a great job of staying on topic, so many possible tangents to avoid going off topic, an example of how much information there is to absorb about all your topics.
I'm personally most excited to see what Lucy finds when visiting Patroclus/Menoetius. I've always been really interested in how such a nearly even binary of two large asteroids formed. Binaries are fascinating.
Me too. I still think Pluto and Charon should be called a binary dwarf planet system. Charon is so big (relative to Pluto) it should not be called a moon.
Many channels try to exaggerate the contents about space due to its mysterious nature by using sound effects and dramatic narrative, so many people with insufficient knowledge would easily fall, watching a whole lot of nothing. But this guy's is different. The content is credible and the animation is just amazing. Great job!
Oooh I didn't know about that project at all!! Fascinating video and informative, obviously. Looking forward to remember the vid in a few years when Lucy gets there....
I do enjoy the music you put in your videos, but I have found that playing some chill lofi while watching these is the ultimate mood setter. I am so glad I found your channel
That is utterly amazing. I'm blown away. I'm a sub and I've watched a lot of your content, but this mission is going to be awesome!!! Thanks for breaking it down and giving us the visuals.
Well now I have watched like 20 of your videos and they were all well made, beautiful and damn interesting. I think you have earned my subscription now :)
Mind-blowing! One thinking there is nothing else between us the other planets and you show us this! Which make sense I think… but never ever I could think such a thing. Amassing channel man! Keep it going please!
I love to listen to this channel ,and watch , but mostly listen while I’m laying in bed. Your content really helps me relax . I have insomnia. The medication helps . But your videos really kick it in. It’s like the dude from the movie half baked says “But have you ever listened to Astrim on weed man?” 😎
Me too! I follow space exploration fairly closely, I can’t believe this is the first I’ve ever heard of these Trojans? Especially with the ship leaving tomorrow!
We keep hearing "pristine early remnants" but so far, nothing we have looked at closely is pristine. Instead, we keep learning our solar system has a complicated history. Mybe we should start staying, "We are looking into our solar system's hidden closets to learn what dark secrets lurk.'
Astrum is one channel I enjoy to occasionally watch. No cluckbait titles like so many... (Like one channel saying JWST had made discovery even before it was launched)
Yeah, those channels shouldn't have air time. I've seen those sites that outright lie to us about the James web when they haven't even focused the mirror segments yet. And they also have the comments section turned off....... go figure 🤥
Is it just me or does it always sound like Alex had a great big smile on his face the entire time he's doing his videos? I don't know how to explain it other than it sounds like he's smiling. Does that make any sense or is it just me? Maybe it's because I tend to have a smile on my face while I'm listening to his videos?? Possibly maybe?? 😁😁😁😁
3:09 You misspoke. "...where the pull of the planet and the pull of the Sun are comparable." Nope. At L4 or L5, the planet's and Sun's *distances* are the same, so the Sun's pull is larger proportional to the Sun's larger mass. Lagrange Points are places where the Sun's pull, planet's pull, and centrifugal force balance each other out.
Very interesting and well presented. I enjoy watching Astrum. If I'm still up and kicking when pictures and info come out from Lucy, I'll be very interested in seeing it. Thanks for your work and videos.
This guy genuinely produces some of the highest quality content on TH-cam. His content started out great and has only gotten better.
A perfect space commentator, a wonderful voice and intellectual subject matter..love Alex
No homo
Agreed, it's always interesting and very well put over.
Agreed. Him and anton are my fav channels on yt.
Made in Switzerland bruh
Totally agree
Dude, just *discovered* your channel, and as someone who listens to a ton of astronomical content throughout the day, Astrum is by far the best. Really, out of this world.
Astrum, JMG, and Parallax Nick are really some of the best out there
I second this sentiment, these episodes are beautifully crafted, spectacular visuals full of light and packed with information! Thank you Astrum team for all your work
Check out SEA
Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy. 😉
Anton Petrov, Cool Worlds, David Butler to name a few more
I watch Astrum on a big tv with the lights off at bedtime with my little daughters. I believe they'll remember it when they're old ladies. Thank you Astrum 👍
Exact same here
That is so cool !!
Very cool, like Kriti said!!
Wow
I love listening to you talk. Alex, you always sound as if your smiling while talking about the subject. It's just so pleasant.
Cannot beat the British accent.
@@drosophilamelanogaster3957 that’s no British accent I’ve ever heard. He sounds African of some sort.
@@Zakalwe-01 Nz accent would be my guess.
@@Zakalwe-01 @Catalin it says on the 'about' section of his channel he's from United Kingdom
@@TimberwolfCY His accent reminds me of my fellow international students. I think he's German born and grew up in the UK, with either one or both parents not being from Britain. Kind of like my accent.
Lucy’s flight path is genius.
It's absolutely mindblowing. I can't image how complicated it must be to even vaguely create such a path. Some aweseome algorithm and some huge computational power I guess...
I am fascinated! That was fucking spectacular! Props to all the people who work their ass off for things like this
Nice reference tho also lol.
The flight path of any space probe blows the mind quite honestly. Lucy's is more complex, but the calculations are mind-blowing on all of them.
How do they avoid collisions
Astrum earned my subscription on the second video I watched of his a few years ago. It's consistency high quality content on interesting space material with super visuals and really relaxing vocals. This and SEA are my go-to's.
Check out Cool Worlds as well
@@EGIMSL One of my absolute favorites. That guy is like the Carl Sagan of our generation
@@EGIMSL plus Isaac Arthur, Anton Petrov, and John Michael Godier.
Been Binging SEA and Issac Authur past few day and this is definitely up there with them. If you have not found Issac's channel yet I highly recommend. Some people are bothered by his speech but after I got use to it it is honestly part of the charm and I am not sure the channel would be the same without the speech impediment.
@@SockyNoob Yeah forgot that one, JMG is my go to for background noise at bed time as it is interesting and soothing at the same time.
Everything went well with the launch. Now it's the waiting until 2025. Great video!
What I was looking for- thanks for the update!
I went to go watch the launch of Lucy after watching this video which was only 15 hours ago. I’m super excited to see and learn about what it starts discovering. Thank you for your always amusing videoS. This channel is truly the best.
What a fascinating journey. Really quite excited to see what little Lucy discovers out there!
Little Lucy..........BIG solar panels!!!
TRIANGULUM galaxy, please, Triangulum galaxy. PLEASE make one on that hardly ever mentioned neighbour of ours. Pleaseeeeeeeee Alex
I don't know what that is but it sounds really interesting
@@kylaxial its a nearby smallish galaxy probably going to be absorbed into the andromeda galaxy one day and then into our own galaxy when andromeda collides with ours
Thank you! There is an incredible amount of detail in your presentation!
Thanks!
Thanks!
I don't remember Donald Johanson in my Greek Epics, I must be getting a bit Rusty :-)
The asteroid is named after Donald Johanson because he discovered Lucy, the hominin fossil the probe is named after
The Donald Johanson asteroid is not a trojan though, as far as I understand
@@lucidstream5661 I think your right, it's a stop on the way I think.
I think they've already sent out a probe back in Obama days, under the armegadon set up he made, which now there's two asteroids after a failed attempt of destroying it fully the first time... Armegadon!!!
This unified field is a trip..😂
He wasn't a soldier, he was the cook, put feta cheese on everything.
much love to the little trojans that could.
This is one of many reasons why I ❤️ science.
I have so much respect for you. These videos are not only entertaining, but educational as well. Thank you for making this information so accessible and enjoyable!
Thank you for the video. I was wondering what trojans are and how they work for a long time. Now I finally know thanks to the images, graphs and schemes in the video.
Scott Manley just released a great video about Lagrange point, general (especially L4 and L5) if you want to check it out.
You do a great job of staying on topic, so many possible tangents to avoid going off topic, an example of how much information there is to absorb about all your topics.
Thank you Astrum, thank you, thank you.

It's channels like this that make paying for a TH-cam premium membership worth the money. I absolutely love you channel Astrum keep up the good work.
I do enjoy the music you put in your videos, but I have found that playing some chill lofi while watching these is the ultimate mood setter. I am so glad I found your channel
I LOVE 💘 your channel! I learn so much. Ty for your efforts and time!
Literally the best astronomy content I've come acroos. Well explained, engaging and well edited. Well done 👍
Great synopsis ! as usual, Astrum delivers the facts in an accessible, no nonsense manner
The visualizations and pictures you have in your videos are simply amazing...
Astrum, your voice is so soothing I even want to listen to the ad. Keep up the excellent content!
Brilliant explanatory animations - superb!
This channel is bliss. Reduces anxiety, promotes learning, induces feelings of awe ,serenity, and a little fear 😀
This channel feeds my brain and soul , cheers 🤙.
I enjoy your documentaries
Fantastic graphics/orbital paths!
Your production and narrative are very well done.
Excellent, thanks!
Seriously such a fantastic channel. Content like yours has impacted me in making my decision in studying astrophysics.
Thanks for the video. Excellent graphics. Good job, all around!
That is utterly amazing. I'm blown away. I'm a sub and I've watched a lot of your content, but this mission is going to be awesome!!! Thanks for breaking it down and giving us the visuals.
You earned my likes & subscription years ago!
Thanks again, Alex. You’re the best!
Thank you for your incredible work.
I learned a lot watching this video. Thanks.
I just love the delicate orbital dance these probes use.
Thanks. And let the waiting begin! Three cheers for Lucy!
Finally, a concisely arranged video of perfection. New subscriber... all I can say is, "wow."
What a grand mission, looking forward to your (future) coverage!
I ❤️ graphics & animations. Thank you
love your channel man! keep it strong
Another fine and informative video. Thank you.
Amazing video, thank you for your great work
Dude sounds so genuinely enthusiastic, insta-sub
You're the reason why i got interested in learning about astronomy sometimes, and its very beautiful, i always feel happier when a new video drops
Incredible lecture Dr. MacCallken!
Great question
I love this channel! Another great upload Alex!
Another excellent episode! Thank you.
Had no idea this was a thing. Very excited to see what comes of its mission (and beyond)!
Spacecraft always look so tiny in the animations, then you see the engineers standing next to the real thing and it's HUGE
Just found this channel, your videos are really well done, thanks for the content, subbed
Well now I have watched like 20 of your videos and they were all well made, beautiful and damn interesting. I think you have earned my subscription now :)
Great video as always!
Thank you for making videos 💙
Wonderful video, thank you so much :D I learn a lot!
Mind-blowing! One thinking there is nothing else between us the other planets and you show us this! Which make sense I think… but never ever I could think such a thing. Amassing channel man! Keep it going please!
This is incredible
Well produced top notch content.
Great info. Ty enjoyed this
Alex:I hope to earn your like and subscribe by the end of the video
(after seeing the video)
Me: Alex you have earned my admiration
great video - thank you
Thank you
so looking forward to this mission
I can't wait for it to arrive!!

you earned my sub a while ago
Love the channel! Great content as always
I had no idea about trojans before now. Only knew about the asteroid belt and kuyper belt! Neat!
edit. aww, look at little DonaldJohanson. Precious!
Queta too
baby moon :)
Me too! I follow space exploration fairly closely, I can’t believe this is the first I’ve ever heard of these Trojans? Especially with the ship leaving tomorrow!
Deep truth Deep impact channel have been talking about the trojans coming for awhile
Possibly 2023
Thinking about Donald, you thought the Trojan was a little Matter lol...
We keep hearing "pristine early remnants" but so far, nothing we have looked at closely is pristine. Instead, we keep learning our solar system has a complicated history. Mybe we should start staying, "We are looking into our solar system's hidden closets to learn what dark secrets lurk.'

SWEET another good channel to listen to as I spend hours in Elite Dangerous
Excellent music choice(s).
At age 72, I'm hoping to just see your report on the mission when it arrives.
Hang in there Roger , and tighten up your socks !!! They are about to be blown off with wonderous discoveries !!!
James Webb scheduled to be launched on December 18 2021
I wish more people were like you. I know very few people of your age that seem interested in science and space. Hold strong my friend.
@@Aztesticals At 81 I also hope to see the mission through.
All the best mate
Great video
And She's on her way. Successful launch and transfer. Godspeed LUCY!
Great video. 👍
