***** Or some weird astronomical phenomena that we don't really understand, like the alcubierre drive and it's relation to "faster-than-light" travel that *doesn't* break the laws of physics.
Phil Plait FTW! It's kind of funny, this feels so far removed from all other crash course series. Phil and John are both delightful but I'm a little biased towards astronomy :)
Technically, all of us have an object with our name floating around, orbiting the sun in space. It's us! Each and every human being orbits the sun. Phil is special because there's TWO things with his name floating around in space! ;)
How do I get my name in space. I have free weekends. How do u distinguish a named object from an unnamed one. I will officially make my parents proud too. 9-5 job for 30 yrs in mess of global issues isn't going to make me famous(ordinary fame may last 3 gen).
***** we actually hit by asteroid every day, yes.... EVERY SINGLE DAY, even though most of those asteroids only as big as grain of sand or the largest of "daily asteroid" are just as big as palm of adult hand.
IndraEMC I smell a smartass here. I should have mentioned: "went extinct by an Asteroid impact..." I know, that earth is hit by space debris every minute.
Why would people thumb down this video? I've been into Astronomy for about 20 years now & these videos help newer people to understand what's out there.
Vladimir Putin I beg to differ Mr Putin. Probably arrogant atheists who think they could do better ;) In all honestly lets just assume that some people can't appreciate a good video when they see one. Nothing to do with religion.
Vladimir Putin I dunno. I disagree, but that's ok- so long as we respect each other. I'd say majority (at the very least a large portion) of christians aren't solid on the belief that the universe is only a few thousand years old. There's too much evidence to suggest otherwise AND the Genesis account is written in such a way that it makes just as much sense to take it as figurative poetry than as a historical account. Often it's easy to tell, but in the case of Genesis 1, there are differing opinions. :) Anyway we can all agree on 1 thing: that these videos are awesome!
I don't even think you have to respect each other, I ask that you're cordial to one another because it's a thread I started but even that's merely a request & as easy to ignore as anything else on the interwebs. I'm with Gandalf though, the Crash Course Astronomy videos are great. Sci-Show Space is pretty good with Astronomy as well
Everytime I'm scrolling through my TH-cam feed, I'm hoping to see a new Crash Course Astronomy upload, and whenever I see one, it feels like Christmas! Keep it up!
Moritz Durtschi I know, but with too many things I look forward to watch, it's hard to remember days... I just look through my feed everyday, looking for interesting things.
You are one of the coolest astronomers ever. I absolutely love learning from these videos! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and keeping science fun!
I love watching this show. Really. Not just because I love space and planets and the unknown of the universe but because Phil seems to love these things so much that you can't help but share his excitment.
After you finish the current series could you do some on the different space missions? Half the time you mention something being discovered by something I've never heard of it
StaticV Not sure what's coming next just yet, and requests for one-off videos is a bit tricky, since we always operate off of a syllabus. However, a good place to start looking for more information would be SciShow Space! They're pretty cool ;) -Nicole
One of the most beautiful, and I guess frustrating as well, is how much astronomy seems to grow; Phil Plait admits to the information he's sharing about asteroids possible being obsolete one the Dawn probe comes with information, and THAT'S beautiful. The universe isn't static, and learning is mutable.
You really go beyond standard curriculum material. The level of some of the details you point out really stretches into BSc stuff, which is really cool. My praise is thine, keep up the good work!
Will you do a future video that goes into more detail on Lagrange points? I'm most curious about the difference between stable and unstable Lagrange points.
I love this series of Crash Course. I find myself gazing into the stars nearly every night, seeing if I can spot our neighboring planets. I'm saving up for a modest little telescope now just so I can get a better look. All of this is thanks to this series.
"The Expanse" has totally got me watching videos about space objects like never before! Definitely the most compelling sci-fi TV series or book series I've ever got into! Got so many questions now like: "Where exactly is the asteroid belt?.... Ceres?? I know Ceres!!!...."
I'd just like to say thank you for doing these videos. They are so helpful while studying and so much for to learn about something you're interested in. Thank you all so much
I would just like to say thank you very very much because a few days before my exam on 'Observing the Universe' last summer I was very confused and didn't think I knew much at all. With help from this series (which made me want to understand more) and a revision guide, I managed to get an A* in that exam- my final GCSE exam. I am proud of that mark and I am extremely grateful :)
CrashCourse Hello guys! I just wanted to point out a little typo: the guy who discovered Ceres was Giuseppe (not Giuseppi) Piazzi. Btw, this series is awesome! Greetings from Italy :)
I think everyone that hosts crash course episodes john green,hank green,phil plait you name them they are all brilliant and everyone else on crash courseyou are all GREAT.
Pluto was a planet for quite a long time, maybe it still deserves an episode? Also the objects behind it are pretty interesting too! Maybe someday we will see an episode about them?)) Great series, thank you very much for it!!!
I am loving SO HARD on Crash Course: Astronomy!!!! Thank y'all for getting me, a lit nerd who spends her nights managing a restaurant and days reading all the books, excited about space. Cheers to sharing the knowledge. :)
I love these videos. Got hooked with the Chemistry series, and anchored by the Astronomy. The only thing I anticipate each week is the next video! Well done team.
This has been my favorite thing to look forward to on Thursdays! I love this series so much that I'm going to take Astronomy in Summer! I hope I do well... I plan on re-watching all the episodes before school starts :)
shreddaily101 Earth is hundreds if not thousands of times larger (maybe even millions) than anything within its orbital path besides the Moon. Pluto is not. Pluto shares its orbital path with the Plutinos, other trans-Neptunian objects that are influenced far more by Neptune than they are Pluto.
Your mistake was thinking the spaceships are dodging through an asteroid belt when most such sci-fi instances call them an "asteroid field." Clearly a different designation for an area of space with a much higher density of asteroid. My hypothesis is that they are from recently dead planets or moons.
I was really hoping for a kind of parallel of Ceres with Pluto. Most people nowadays remember Pluto being classified as a planet. But not very many (0, I expect) remember Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta as planets. Their classifications as planets changed as it became more and more obvious they weren't as unique as we originally thought they were.
So right after telling us that Trojan Asteroids have a Homeric naming scheme, you identify one of them by the name 2010 TK-7. Yes, he was one of my favorite characters in the _Iliad._
i was actually expecting something on dwarf planets. though looking at the date this aired I understand why pluto was only mentioned being that we only just recently got a decent picture of him and his moon lol. still an episode on dwarf planets would be nice.
This series kind of makes me wish Bad Astronomy had its own TH-cam channel. Something a bit more than a video archive for Phil's blog. I think this fits *really* well under the Crash Course banner, of course, but I assume that this run won't last forever.
I really want to thank you for making these videos, they have really inspired me to do something worthwhile and meaningful like I really think nothing else has in the past. Just this night I was skimming through the sky with my younger brother's 25 dollar telescope (I have come to claim it for myself) when I stumbled across Saturn, it was like a diamond painted on a gleaming black canvas and it's ovular ring could clearly be seen, it was like nothing I have ever seen with my eyes before and then just a little left and up was Titan the largest natural satellite orbiting the planet could just be made out. Soon my whole family came out to see the beauty, but what really struck me was when my mother's friend's daughter saw the planet and had her breath taken away. Wow. Thanks.
I love it when I learn something new. Like with the five Lagrange points. I knew of the two close ones on the line between sun and earth, but I didn't know of the two at 60° to these line or the “distant” one on the “other side” of the sun. The term Lagrangian is known from mathematics to me, but as I suck at it, I never really understood it (and less so QM, at least from a mathematical point of view). Also, congratulations on your "own" asteroid, I imagine this must be something for an astronomer! You do a Great job in popularizing Astronomy with these videos!
Probably my favorite Crash Course series.
Or shall I say Ceres?
PogieJoe #punny
PogieJoe Are you Sirius
TheBlaaackSheep Juno what you just started here?
PogieJoe Would the Vesta you, keep it down?
PogieJoe not to be your NEMESIS but i TheMIS-ed the punchline. Anyway THISBE a war now. Its Ko to be mad.
I am extremely sorry.
Seriously no mention in the comments about how this guy has a SPACE OBJECT NAMED AFTER HIM?
He does?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing!
I thought it must be coincidence
i think he found it.. after all he's an astronomer doesn't he?
"The universe is under no obligation to adhere to our expectations" my favourite part in the whole series so far
"the universe is under no obligation to adhere to our expectations."
that should be on a poster with like a galaxy in the background or something
I like it.
***** Or some weird astronomical phenomena that we don't really understand, like the alcubierre drive and it's relation to "faster-than-light" travel that *doesn't* break the laws of physics.
***** I would have a universe simulation instead. The threads of galaxies that form in a sponge pattern is beautiful.
***** Here here... it's a great reminder. :)
Agreed. Or maybe on a t-shirt. I'd totally wear that.
I really like Phil as a narrator!
Tom Sharman I think he's the best of all the Crash Course hosts - even better than John Green!
Phil Plait FTW! It's kind of funny, this feels so far removed from all other crash course series. Phil and John are both delightful but I'm a little biased towards astronomy :)
Tom Sharman Agreed, he is an excellent narrator for an excellent series.
I hope we get to keep him! ^_^
He's really good.
Seems like a good place to remind people that June 30th is Asteroid Day and there'll be a bunch more asteroid themed events.
Scott Manley Kerbal's on the desk!
Scott Manley Your videos are why I care about this whole field of science! Thank you!
Scott Manley Whhhooo scott manley
Hullo
Scott Manley You are the best ksp youtuber EVAR!!!
Damn, to have your name floating around, orbiting the Sun in space is awesome! You have a pretty cool friend, Phil.
aws35 And Phil, himself, too! Phil too!
-Nicole
CrashCourse Phil is awesome!
Technically, all of us have an object with our name floating around, orbiting the sun in space. It's us! Each and every human being orbits the sun. Phil is special because there's TWO things with his name floating around in space! ;)
Aron en Ark Well, that's a way to look at it, too. Haha
How do I get my name in space. I have free weekends. How do u distinguish a named object from an unnamed one. I will officially make my parents proud too. 9-5 job for 30 yrs in mess of global issues isn't going to make me famous(ordinary fame may last 3 gen).
This was Ceres-ly fun.
Christophe L Looks like someone enjoys watching this Ceres.
Dennis Chiu juno what? I'm done
+Christophe L I'm Sirius when I say I'm done with you guys.
I will disown you, sun
@@HeyKevinYT If we could cut it with the star puns, that would be stellar, thanks.
"Don't worry, they really have a small chance to hit us"
*say that to the Dinosaur.*
***** Or did they?...
IndraEMC Well, hit by asteroid after a 160 million year long reign isn't a bad statistic.
***** we actually hit by asteroid every day, yes.... EVERY SINGLE DAY, even though most of those asteroids only as big as grain of sand or the largest of "daily asteroid" are just as big as palm of adult hand.
IndraEMC
I smell a smartass here.
I should have mentioned: "went extinct by an Asteroid impact..."
I know, that earth is hit by space debris every minute.
lol
you could say that some of the asteroids are on a .."Crash Course" :D
Why would people thumb down this video? I've been into Astronomy for about 20 years now & these videos help newer people to understand what's out there.
Nowan Inparticular I agree.
Probably someone clicking on a thumbs up... But by mistake did so?

So you've got an asteroid named after you!? You rock! (got it!?)
For Sirius?
En Route
It took me some seconds to figure that one out! Good one! ;)

You forgot to do a planet episode on PLUTO. :) :);)
rebelyell1983x It's an Edgeworth-Kuiper belt object.
rebelyell1983x Hopefully they wait till July to do that.
Scott Manley Hi Scott! you should teach Phil ksp
rebelyell1983x Probably because it isn't a planet
Actually Pluto is a dwarf planet
OMG! PHIL FOUND A ASTEROID!!!
GodGamerz AND NAMED IT AFTER HIMSELF!
Now I'm jealous,I want a Asteroid named after me
+Sotiris Krol same!
Actually, I'm pretty sure that he didn't find it himself, but a friend who did find it named it after him.
yeah Jeff Medkeff.
The last one made me smile.
After you finish the current series could you do some on the different space missions? Half the time you mention something being discovered by something I've never heard of it

CrashCourse I wonder if John Green, and Phil Plait could do a collaboration for a History of Space travel. I would watch that.
Even though technically it's just a pebble floating in the vast nothingness of space, it's still pretty cool that it bears your name.
One of the most beautiful, and I guess frustrating as well, is how much astronomy seems to grow; Phil Plait admits to the information he's sharing about asteroids possible being obsolete one the Dawn probe comes with information, and THAT'S beautiful. The universe isn't static, and learning is mutable.

The astronomy videos are my favorite. Makes all those high school rocketry classes worthwhile. I absolutely love the little kerbals there.
I did a project in 2nd grade on the asteroid belt. This episode is reminding me why I fell in love with astronomy.
My favorite part of this series is still the intro. That little animated version of Phil looks so happy and enthusiastic, I love that! :D
My favourite asteroid is 24601 Valjean.
SCOTT MANLEY WILL TAKE OVER TH-cam ( or atleast astronomy / orbital mechanics in general )
Thomas PlaysTheGames
How 'bout no.

Looks like somebody on the production team is really into Starfox ;) Nice homage to the Arwing.

CrashCourse Hello guys! I just wanted to point out a little typo: the guy who discovered Ceres was Giuseppe (not Giuseppi) Piazzi.
Btw, this series is awesome!
Greetings from Italy :)
I love the emphasis Phil puts on the B in "billions"
"So On *Not an Asteroid" I laughed xD
Another top-notch episode. Also, "props" to the set designer of this series (pun intended.)
I think everyone that hosts crash course episodes john green,hank green,phil plait you name them they are all brilliant and everyone else on crash courseyou are all GREAT.
"... the universe is under no obligation to adhere to our expectations .. " nicely said !
I only just discovered this series (1 Dec 2019). Absolutely love it!
This has to be my favorite CC series ever. Phil Plait is an awesome host!
Phil Plait you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for explaining the universe so well
Definition of "Scientific Process" = "probably everything I'm about to tell you about this is about to become obsolete."
Pluto was a planet for quite a long time, maybe it still deserves an episode? Also the objects behind it are pretty interesting too! Maybe someday we will see an episode about them?))
Great series, thank you very much for it!!!
The planets are the sun's moons and Asteroid belt is the rings!
Nice way of putting Starfox ship in the asteroid belt part.
this is my favorite show on youtube
I am loving SO HARD on Crash Course: Astronomy!!!! Thank y'all for getting me, a lit nerd who spends her nights managing a restaurant and days reading all the books, excited about space. Cheers to sharing the knowledge. :)
It is freaking awesome that you have an astroid named after you. Good for you!
Love the arwing animation - and of course the barrel roll!
Amazing video as always! Thanks for teaching me something new!
“And it goes by the name 165347 Phil Plait. Must be a coincidence.”
Extraordinary humility!
Thank you for sharing Amy & Eleanor's asteroids.
I love these videos. Got hooked with the Chemistry series, and anchored by the Astronomy. The only thing I anticipate each week is the next video! Well done team.

I will love you forever for that Starfox reference.
Very informative indeed!
Thanks for uploading.
Search it up. 165347 Philplait really does exsit!!!!! WOW!
9:45 co-orbital? I thought that was a key argument as to why pluto isn't a planet? ... highly anticipating the next episode!
shreddaily101 Earth is hundreds if not thousands of times larger (maybe even millions) than anything within its orbital path besides the Moon. Pluto is not. Pluto shares its orbital path with the Plutinos, other trans-Neptunian objects that are influenced far more by Neptune than they are Pluto.

Good job guys, I've been watching everything single episode... Thank you!
thats so cool how he discovered his own astroid

But not very many (0, I expect) remember Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta as planets.

I also bet that scott will be here in no more than an hour ...
Thomas PlaysTheGames I wouldn't take that bet if I were you.
You have your own asteroid!? That's so awesome!!
165347Philplait for life!
Another great episode. Thanks for making these!
Love this series. Fantastic videos.
Do a barrel roll!
I love this series.
Great video! Love the series and Phil.
Nick Sibicky Love the series and Phil.
Crash Course Astronomy is an amazing Ceres. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for another great episode, Phil! Really love this subject and its so easy and interesting to understand like this.
I love this series so, so much.
14th allso you have a asteoid named after you damm thats cool
can't wait for the next episodes
So right after telling us that Trojan Asteroids have a Homeric naming scheme, you identify one of them by the name 2010 TK-7. Yes, he was one of my favorite characters in the _Iliad._
Actually, 2010 TK-7 was from the Odyssey, not the Iliad. #themoreyouknow
Aron en Ark
Hey, tell your own joke!
"TK-421, why aren't you at your post?? TK-421, do you copy? We have a bad transmitter-- I'll see what I can do..."
I love this course, keep up the good work guys! One little note, you misspelled "Giuseppe Piazzi" with Giuseppi
Thank you Thought Cafe for your excellent work. You bring visual life to what would only be interesting words.
Was really surprised to see the Kerbals on the desk !
6:16... the most important thing we can learn from crash course astronomy.
This is my favorite series!
i was actually expecting something on dwarf planets. though looking at the date this aired I understand why pluto was only mentioned being that we only just recently got a decent picture of him and his moon lol. still an episode on dwarf planets would be nice.

Thanks.
God, this sub-channel is so good.
I just love the Astronomy Crash Course...!
This is a great series. Very very well made.
I just noticed the Kerbals! Little guys made it all the way to Crash Course.
