Funny thing is that they uploaded the explainer on Albedo before they talked about making an explainer about it in this video. Neil Tyson is a freakin Dr. Who
That's the result of quantum communication between quarks. They can communicate instantaneously across unlimited distances. Their idea of the explainer was immediately communicated to quarks which were to come into existence at a future moment. Or... They uploaded the wrong clip at the wrong time. But I like my flawed hypothesis a little more. lol

Neil is wrong! So in the video Neil says there’s no blood moon anymore. The earth’s sky is much clearer. Then what have we seen today?! November 8th - blood moon as it is! Either Neil is wrong or help me understand what’s happening anyone please.
Grab a paper. Whenever the moon is up in the sky, make a hole of its size. Whenever the "big" moon arises, it will feel like it will exceed the margins of the paper. Place the paper in front of it. It will magically shrink and perfectly fit the small paper hole. Mind blown.
Chuck (out of completely NOWHERE): "Stereopsys!" Neil (completely ignoring what was probably the smartest, quickest thing Chuck has EVER said):"Yeah, yeah, yeah..So..." Lolol...Poor Chuck!! Lolol
I would have to agree with you on that one. He's definitely picking up a lot from Neil and some of the guests. I imagine he is probably doing more research on his own and of course that's just speculation. Either way... Love em both. Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson is or should say he was the catalyst the inspiration for me to get back into astronomy physics and everything quantum. I love it. Confusing a fair amount of the time but I love it.
I was told the horizon illusion is because we perceive the sky (incorrectly) as a disk. Our eyes tell us the sky near the horizon is farther away than the sky overhead, so the moon looks closer by comparison.
The chemistry between Chuck and Neil is magical. Chuck is the kind of guy I'd love to have as a friend -- very intelligent and very funny. And of course Neil is just awesome.
Could you do a video debunking the hollow moon theory? I think that'd be really interesting, also, I bet a title about the hollow moon would be catchy enough to get a lot of views.
I wonder what Neil would call a Blood Moon if he could rename them? 🌙🤔 Also, what do moons with thicker atmospheres and different surface structures/materials look like from other planets? Awesome episode btw, I was thinking about this just the other night while taking a walk after dinner, cheers!
For ancient cultures, there would be a very deeply red blood moon and it would be mysterious and menacing when there was a very large volcanic eruption somewhere around the world at least in the same hemisphere if not the same latitude within a few months before the blood moon. Given the jet stream in the northern and southern hemisphere, the exact latitude would not necessarily be a critical part of that effect. The volcanic dust particles in the atmosphere would cause a lot of pollution in the atmosphere causing a very prominent blood moon. As an ancient people, one might postulate that the volcanic eruption was interrelated with the moon bleeding and being a sign that "the gods" where angry or telling one group of people to go to war with another neighbouring group of people. All kinds of superstitious beliefs arose from natural phenomenon being miss interpreted simply because they didn't have the knowledge to truly understand what they were seeing.
I can't say I have ever experienced the horizon moon illusion. The moon has always looked the same size to me for my whole life. When people talked about the moon looking larger at some times when I was a child it really confused me.
where i live, it definitely (appears) to start off large and then get smaller as it rises.. have you ever seen moon pics from say Africa? where the moon can look Enormous!
The face on chuck when Neil tells him to put his head between his legs and look at the moon… You know he’s thinking “and I’m the crazy one pretending to carry an airplane through the sky,”
This explains why back in 1980 after the eruption of Mount St. Helen we had the most brilliantly red/orange sunsets all the way down South in Louisiana. I haven't seen anything like that since.
"The full moon in June stays low in the sky and it holds on to sunset sort of amber colour which takes a look of a kind of honey colour. So, of all the moons of the year and they all have names, the name of the full moon in June is HONEY MOON" ~Neil Tyson
My dad as a pilot told me that the red moon/ sun was from forest fires in our area. And a big white ring in the sky around the moon meant it would snow the next day. Or at least be cold enough to snow.
In my opinion the reason why the Moon looks bigger on the horizon is called the magnifying effect which means like if you take a magnifying glass and everything and you bring it over something that is very small it will appear bigger in the magnifying glass that happens with the moon coming over to the horizon since we have an ozone layer we have different layers so we have different magnifications through each levels of the ozone layers so when it comes over to the horizon and is a convexed ozone layer so it's going to appear a little bit more bigger when it's coming over the crescent of of the ozone layer so it appears bigger but then once it starts going up it looks smaller and smaller and smaller you know it's a fun house mirror effect and the process as well you see something that is not really bigger than what it is but yet you're not seeing something smaller than what it really is it's it's just been illusion and itself caused by convection as well as I'm manipulation it depends on how you look at the Moon depending on your altitude as well
I witnessed a perfect lunar eclipse in '94. I expected to see the shadow slowly cover, but the Moon instead got redder as time passed, but became almost entirely black. There was only just enough light to make it appear as a umbral orb in the sky. It was truly a marvel to behold.
I keep saying this to people too. Funny to see them confused. Then when I explain we all stand in an xyz coordinate in space, it just has an atmosphere because we are standing on earth, the give me the grunt and the eye hahaha
Dear Neil, The enigma of the pyramids has baffled me since I first read about them. I think this, sounds like the most likely reason for the building of the Great Pyramids, the motivation to do so and what they were trying to tell future generations. First off, they were a passion project over the ages, by the survivors of a Lost civilization. This is what I believe to be true. The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is a representation of the northern hemisphere of earth, I believe hinting towards the same place a meteor hit 12,500 years ago that wiped out the northern hemisphere which has been documented in countless mythologies and religions. In the 18th century till now, Scientists have confirmed and concluded that indeed a great cataclysm did in fact happen roughly 12,500 years ago. If, infact they were built in that time, the pyramids would be aligned to the belt of Orion. They were pointing to specific stars. The sphinx which I believe to be a lion pointed towards leo, all would have lined up 12,500 something years ago. What would motivate a entire culture to build such things in a specific way pointing to all these clues that direct us to 12,500 years ago? Especially after a time of great cataclysms? How many people lived before the great floods? How many people died? How many tons of blocks were used at the great pyramid, I believe the weight was equivalent to the lives lost. What research has shown is at about 12,500 something years ago something did happen, millions were wiped out. What would motivate a culture to build something so precise and accurate? Something to stand the tests of time? What would we do to remember the people we might lose if such a catastrophe were to happen to us? I do not believe the pyramids to be tombs, I believe they are tomb stones. I believe cultures came and wrote there names on the casing stones to show the families that survived the great cataclysm, and I believe the were put in the center of earth's land mass as to take center stage so all would remember, all would know of the ones who came before us, and also for us to never forget what we ourselves could eventually lose. -Bobby Jones III
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Thank you so much for this video! I would love to know more about craters and marias. (I do not believe in young earth), but I read recently that some who believe in a young earth argue that marias are proof that the moon is not billions of years old because it would have craters everywhere without an atmosphere to protect it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Hate to admit this.. but I never knew who chuck was before getting with Neil 😅 but I want to see him do stand up comedy so bad it's unreal 🤣😂🤣 absolutely hilarious
So say, for instance, the moon-on-horizon is taking up the same width (in my vision) as a nearby building... and then I look at the moon while I'm upsidedown... does the moon miraculously take up less space in my vision?
After watching this I googled moon on the horizon photos. Flipping the photos upside down didn’t change my perception of it size in relation with its surroundings. How is this illusion affected by looking at the moon via photography? Thanks.
I try beating Chuck in answering science questions but I'll admit he has answered more and faster than I can. I don't feel bad after watching his standup. Both men are worthy of my admiration for their brilliance.
Neil. I read Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World (Science as a Candle in the Dark) in 1996. It changed my life, yet The Baloney Detection kit did not Emphasize the "Excluded Middle" with enough precidence. It's profound within the Context of Language.
I once saw an orange moon on Halloweeen some time in the late '90s. I called it the pumpkin moon. Then I remembered that it was supposed to have a face (I've never seen the man in the moon) and quickly changed it to the jack-o-lantern moon.
I have a question for you. I've seen/read articles where scientists say that life can't be on a planet because of this, that, and the other thing. Do you ever wonder if there are civilians out there that look at our planet and say the same thing? Like, "look at all that water and how bad some of those storms are. There's no way life can exist on that planet."
I live in south Jersey in Atlantic City and I see the moon most nights come up over the ocean and it looks very big and now that I think of it the piers are a reference which is why it may look bigger!
Question: Is the moons rotation predictable to a point we know what day a full moon will rise from horizon and look super huge? Some days its over here some days its over there some days its in the sky all day
I do remember a night in july riding in the James Bay road at full moon it was so bright that I could drive with out any light we could see almost like in day light.
That’s incredible, I love where I can see the ocean and I still get those huge moons. Does even having other reference points in your Peripheral vision cause that effect?
Wow. I enjoy this. To imagine everyone sharing an illusion seems wild, especially, with no drugs involved...& while seeing the sky, from between one knees, as we bend forward, & look. BaddaBing! Thank you!
When I was younger and saw the “blood” moon I used to think the moon was like Mars. The bending of the light onto the moon made it look so just different I didn’t think it was the moon.
