@@dahleno2014 That "funny person" brings interest in a positive way to a somewhat dry subject. Take time to laugh it makes learning so much more interesting.

I could watch this man talk about any topic all day. So cool and informative! Maybe I'll start learning something useful on TH-cam now that I've stumbled upon StarTalk!
I find it ironic that someone commented about this…and thinking immediately about how a couple of years ago I was high for the first time in ages, and was just sitting on the bed and had this sudden compulsion…and simply searched in TH-cam “how does the sun work”…and spent the next week on a binge of space/astronomy documentaries

Related to the sun and moon light , 1 day a year at about 4:45 am crossing the Mackinaw bridge you can see the crest of the moon set and the rise of the sun at equal levels on both horizons, most amazing visual ever
Thank you Neil and Chuck for bringing light and laughter to a somewhat dry factual subject. I wish there could be more teams of educators who would bring laughter into education. I think a lot more kids would stay in school.
I had you in my astronomy 101 class at UMCP back in (I think it was) 1983. You made a tremendous impression on me with how animated you were and how stoic and unresponsive the (hundreds of) students were. I never forgot you and it was really cool to see you resurface years later as a pop. sci. personality.
Carl's Sagan's flatland being a 2D Circle and being taken to a 3D land and put back in and trying to explain a direction that doesn't exist in that realm.
Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote Flatland, the story about the circle/sphere amongst other parts, in 1884. Just for the record, not to diminish Sagan's retelling and further contributions to the "flatland" concept.
1:58 I hope they really do animate that fish speaking the words Chuck said. I doubt they will, but I hope they do. They also spoke of a short film I would like to see of the 8 minutes during which the sun has already vanished.
I LOVEEEEEEEEE these star talks sooo much. I wondered if it takes 8mins for the earth facing the sun to know that the sun was plucked out, what about the people on the other side of the planet?? What would they experience? And if something suddenly happened to the sun, would the folks on the ISS or satellites that are around the other planets know what’s happening sooner?
Other side of the planet would experience the effects fractions of a second later (0.04 seconds later if my math is correct) than the side facing the sun. Astronauts on the ISS would experience it 0.001 seconds before people on earth assuming the ISS is on the sun facing side of the earth.
Releasing fish after they been caught is super traumatizing for them. They actually go into shock and stop eating until they starve to death. It's better to take it home and eat it.
The tangent in the beginning about the fish being plucked out of the water, seeing the sun, and then getting tossed back in and told he's crazy when he describes the sun to all of the other fish is basically Plato's Allegory of the Cave. I'm kind of disappointed that wasn't called attention to.
@@dahleno2014 I think your name perfectly encapsulates you don't have really an arbiters perspective of what is funny. Do you think your name is funny, it sure makes me cringe and marvel at the lack of your education.
Thank you for this video Mr. Tyson. I will be representing my local astronomy club at a large outreach event in early December. I will be using a Coronado PST, and will be seeing the sun through a telescope for the very first time. If I can remember your information (at least a portion of it) I think I will be able to answer many of the 100's of questions from the intended audience (3rd-8th graders).
Only Neil deGrasse Tyson can use big complicated words while describing something and still make it totally understandable to those of us who do not have a background in astrophysics or related sciences.
Amazing, that back in the 50's, in commercials, they told how far the Earth was form the Sun. Corn Flakes was the product. To this day I still remember this.
Before Neil said: about a million, I was thinking in that number, then I heard the exact answer and a tear fell down from my face! 🥲 #MakingProudStarTalkHosts
I have NOAAs Space Weather as a trash on my browser home screen. I check it daily. I saw that humongous sun spot, but looking like a really huge tear. I didn't get any info for over 3 days. I knew I wasn't the 1st to see it but was confused why the info took so long to get out. I love Space Science so much! ❤❤
Space weather is not only important for astronauts and satellite operators, it is of utmost importance to electrical grids and airlines, as they do experience direct impacts from solar flares (or rather solar mass ejections).
Doing the Billy Mays thing today... Billy's mom passed about 2pm today, and I check out Startalk and, but wait, there's more. Great explanation of the flares.
dear hosts, This is so far the best version FYI simple exciting slice of the sun cycle I've ever come upon, pun intended, barring solar flares and solar winds. twins and equatorial spins differentiated spuns? Acne? Why, I'll never cease to be amazed forever in your depth sincerely and moody, your secret admirer freckled and proud , 👽
Is there a sun that only emits light that is not visible to the human eye? I can’t find the answer online. So glad I found your videos. I’ve been binge watching them all week.
The light travel time to Earth is 8:20 average, because our distance changes with the seasons. It is 8:20 to Earth in the spring and then 8:30 in the summer. (Farther away - Yes farther) then 8:20 again in the Fall followed by only 8:10 in the winter. If you add the 4 times together and then divide by 4 you get 8:20. (Average) It is true that we are closer to the Sun in the winter but the tilt of Earth away from the sun (In the Northern Hemisphere) is what makes colder. Less direct light. In the summer the reverse is true so its hotter here in North America. Thank's Neil for telling people 8:20 and not 8:00 minutes. Light travels 186, 281.7 miles per second so those extra 20 seconds are significant. To round it off for miles per hour it is approximately 670 Million Miles per Hour. WOW ! (Just some added facts for your viewers.) 🙂
One of my own personal favorite little things about the Sun is prominences. I don't know if they're basically just flares that don't escape, but i like that they keep two ends on the Sun, and are lije a cosmic arch, or hurdle, that is big enough you could probably thread the Earth through it 😊
Oh lord Chuck, you even topped yourself in this one. I don't know how Neil can keep his narrative flowing with you being in fine form. I will have nightmares about that fish now.
we need to know how and what Neil has done to ammas such a knowledgeable brain. What books did he read growing up does he recommend any books for aspiring astrophysicists any tips?
Why would it be 8 minutes and 20 seconds for gravity? I did not know that gravity travel at the speed of light I thought it was instantaneous? Are we talkin about the time it takes light to travel or the time it takes gravity?
Both, since the speed of light is also the maximum speed of "information". So any change that would cause a difference in gravity would only have consequences later the further the object is.

“That's amazing!” So is Neil. The volume of information he holds in his head and the beautiful way he expresses it to the rest of us.
Oh my goodness- the urge I feel to animate the fish. I have stuff planned, but I just might.
do it
@@lautabott_uy That settles it- I'm speedrunning finishing my current project, and animating the fish.
Yes, notify us here once you're done

While looking at the night stars with my 4 yr old, I asked him what his favorite star is. He said the sun. I've never been so proud.
You should be. 👍😉

I love how animated Neil's explanations are💜 I can imagine crazy concepts thanks to that.
Challenge accepted . I will animate chuck’s voice on a star fish telling all the nemos in the ocean that
I hope you do it! And send it to Chuck so it gets an airing on StarTalk. You may even get him to voice it.
Just wanted to say Neil . You and Chuck have brought my joy for science and curiosity of nature back with all your episodes . Ohh and Michio Kaku
High Chuck is even better than sober Chuck. "I'm not crazy" and that skin blemishes joke just prove it.
Haha, just a little bit.
He is sometimes sober?

@@trayolphia5756 See? You could be Chuck!
Or maybe you are Chuck??
Or maybe we all are Chuck... 😯
These explainers should be globally mandatory!
I know I'm repeating myself, but what can I say... it's a cycle.
I hate that the show is this short! I could listen to Neil for hours at a time!
Love me some explainer videos, wishing them to last an hour long! Thank you!

Yassssss!
FOUND IT!!!
“The sun, with all the planets revolving around it, and depending on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as though it had nothing else in the universe to do.”
I learnt something new today thanks to Neil.
Chuck is always entertaining, great double act.
The fish out of water rant was one of Chucks best!
Related to the sun and moon light , 1 day a year at about 4:45 am crossing the Mackinaw bridge you can see the crest of the moon set and the rise of the sun at equal levels on both horizons, most amazing visual ever
I like Chuck's humor and I love his shirt. "Science is true whether or not you like it" something like that.
Only wish my science professor would be like this. The class would be less boring and students would learn much more.
Please keep making these! you learn something and Chuck can sketch situations that are hilarious its perfect
Watching Chuck's eyes light up, and face remorse as he realized he had a "that time of the month" joke, but wasn't allowed to make it, is priceless.
I was SO waiting for that joke to drop, but I guess he caught himself...
One of THE BEST episodes of Star Talk, EVER!!!...
Thank you Neil and Chuck for bringing light and laughter to a somewhat dry factual subject. I wish there could be more teams of educators who would bring laughter into education. I think a lot more kids would stay in school.
I love when Neil just goes on...

Once again what a brilliant lecture and fun facts on the workings of the Sun.
Neil: "were gonna get someone who will animate a fish with those exact words"
You got it man

Always being schooled by this channel. Seriously, some one animate chucks fish story🤣
Fish…school… school of fish.
I see what you did there😉
Thank you for keeping the sciences alive!!!. Educational and entertaining. Keep up the Great content guys!!!
I LOVE Chuck's tale from the fish's perspective!

Chuck was going to say, ‘as moody as my wife?’…..🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fishing we love it! Catch & Release!
Releasing fish after they been caught is super traumatizing for them. They actually go into shock and stop eating until they starve to death. It's better to take it home and eat it.

Basically, Chuck Nice, comic, is a genius.
Chucks fish rant and the sun snatcher idea are great
Guys I love these explainer videos well done ✅
I was hoping Neil give us some curiosities about CME, nonetheless great episode. Chuck was nice as always, I love his humor.
His humor is the primary reason I rarely watch these. He is so cringe.

Those 'where the Sun don't shine' still need the Sun for survival!

After this summer i can not wait for Autumn and the cooler weather to arrive.
This was great!!
I’d like to see Neil debunk the Bermuda Triangle and other similar anomalies. I suspect it’s about conflicting magnetic fields. 🤔
Chucks best performance ever!! Would love to see that animated!
In terms of Neils Fish out of water analogy at the beginning, a psychedelic trip is the actual experience of this hapenning
I love this show.

I am DESPERATE to see that animated fish skit.
Why would it be 8 minutes and 20 seconds for gravity? I did not know that gravity travel at the speed of light I thought it was instantaneous? Are we talkin about the time it takes light to travel or the time it takes gravity?
Gravity moves at the speed of light.
Max Speed limit of universe is c, even gravitational force is limited by that...
Both, since the speed of light is also the maximum speed of "information". So any change that would cause a difference in gravity would only have consequences later the further the object is.
