There is even evidence of a ninth planet. ;) It's not Pluto, and it's not proven to exist yet, but science suggests it's out there somewhere in the outer Solar System because of gravital pulls in its direction. It's just that it's soo, soo far away and it's hard to spot so that's why it hasn't been spotted yet. I believe it takes 20.000 years for the planet to make a full orbit around the Sun. Who knows, the Solar System might have many more planets than just 8 or 9. And if that is true, then that suggests this is the average model for most star systems as well.

Hey guys. They know where stuff is based on a combination of cameras and computers. The longer you set the shutter speed on a camera, the more light it can let in. So hella advanced cameras use fancy computers to stay open for a really long time and let in so much light that they can pick up the light from faraway stars and the reflections of such light off of faraway planets.
That number is insane. Light speed is 186,000 miles every SECOND. So even going that fast it would take 93 billion YEARS to fly across the whole universe. Smh makes you wonder why some people think they're such a big deal lol
And what’s even more crazy is that because you are travelling at the speed of light severe time dilation would be occurring ultimately causing time to stop for the rest of the universe relative to you.
One of the best quotes that sums up humanity is from Terry Pratchets book The Hogfather...when death says this ' Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom'
55 Cancri e is a super-Earth - about twice our planet's size - that zooms around its star in 18 days. It has a surface temperature of nearly 4,900 degrees Fahrenheit (2,700 degrees Celsius). For a while it was dubbed the "diamond planet" because scientists suggested that it was composed of diamonds and graphite
@@NexusDarkworld338 the planet is being ripped to shreds as we speak, it sits way closer to its star than it should, 44 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the sun if I’m not mistaken! It’s losing trillions of mass every second, but yeah, it still has a lot of time left when you think about it, but when you look at the grand scheme of things, that thing is just about gone.
As the Animaniacs sang: "It's a great big universe and we're all really puny we're just tiny little speck about the size of Mickey Rooney though we don't know how we got here, really here's the plot here it's a big universe and it's ours."
Also I love how small and insignificant we are. It makes us special in each other's eyes because the fact that any of us gets to experience a life is a miracle no matter how fleeting it is. Now if we could just stop killing each other over property and superstition maybe we could get to a point where we collectively realize just how beautiful every one of us is and start living in accordance with that truth.

I enjoy and appreciate your time and dedication. Many blessings to you both and your families in 2021. Cant wait to see your growth! Cheers!
Only thing i remember from science class was looking at a poster on the wall of our sun and planets, the teacher said if you now take this poster and stand in Calcutta 6000miles away, thats how close the nearest star is to our sun.. That blew my head off..
Loved the reaction, funny as hell AND educational at the same time. A good Pneumonic device for remembering the planet names, and in order. "My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nachos".
I believe when Voyager 1 turned around and took the picture, there was an argument over the camera being damaged by the sun. Eventually it was reasoned that the camera wouldn't be useful for too much longer and this was the best chance they had to get a picture of the Earth. When they printed the picture off, they tried getting all the dust off and one little speck wouldn't come off. Turns out that speck of dust was Earth.
I don’t see how the universe couldn’t just be infinite. Just think about it, what the fuck exists outside of the universe. Nothingness? What was here before the universe? Nothingness. What the hell is nothingness?
Nothing is empty in space, Quantum mechanics tells us that there is no such thing as empty space. Even the most perfect vacuum is actually filled by a roiling cloud of particles and antiparticles
Well what you can't mesure doesn't exist, doesn't mean it isn't there, it just doesn't interact with your experiment. Even a perfect vacuum demonstrate there is force you can measure that's called the Casimir effect. So demonstrably so nothingness could probably be filled with energy, but an energy that doesn't interact with anything. It's called in quantum physics, quantum void fluctuations. Now that said, that means empty doesn't exist and nothingness is just a lack of matter, doesn't mean there isn't energy there, it just isn't empty, it's just "nothing you can mesure". Taking into account this universe was born, if maths are right, that means this kind of event happened, is happening and will happen an infinite amount of time in an infinite direction you choose. Probably an infinite*4 amount of universes already died, without letting any traces or being so far that the informations will never reach us so we'll never know. Science for now just says we don't know, we can't mesure it, so it might be possible and make sense math wise. Yet it is technically impossible to measure and we'll never have the answer in our lifetimes anyway, cause we would need to travel outside our observable universe and making measurements over billions of years, which won't happen. So nothingness isn't a thing, and the amount of universes that lived and died are most likely more numerous than the number of atoms in our entire universe itself. Making it mathematically the highest level of mathematical infinity we could conceputalize. It's so unreal that if it's the case we'll never see it, cause we'll never access the information anyway. The probability of our universe being the only one contradicts math, and usually scientists are good at that. To fill you with awe, there is probably an infinite variations of you asking the same question in all those universes.
Well I know it's not nothingness think of it like this, nothing = 0 something/everything else = 1 - infinity....but by stating that nothingness exists you are therefore making it something so it goes from 0 to 1 so actual nothingness would be something we aren't aware of that we aren't aware of...if that makes sense
The universe might wrap back around on itself. So if you travel in one direction long enough, you'll end up back where you were. Time itself is curved like a donut.
Fun space fact: In the constellation Orion there is a planet known as Betelgeuse that is either about to achieve a supernova, or already has and we're waiting for the light to get here. One day we'll look up at the sky and witness the biggest explosion in human history. Despite how far away it is, it will be visible with the naked eye
About the planets in our system; In order : Mercury-Venus-Earth-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune. So 8 planets total. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
You can see planets going by stars with telescopes that pick up minor changes in dimness of the light. There are procedures to figure out how big and the actual make up of the planets atmospheres through the light that gets filtered out.
My question is: how tf do they know all this, if we never been that far? You have 90% of the ocean undiscovered on earth but they know how many galaxies and how big the universe is...
Well, to be fair, the reason for knowing what we know about both has to do with light. The Universe is full of different lights, so it's easy to calculate a lot of what we know using the light given off from stars and galaxies, however, after a couple of hundred feet in the ocean, it gets pitch black. And then there's the problem of the bone crushing pressure in the ocean. It cost an insane amount of money to just see a football sized portion of the bottom of the ocean, and it's usually privately funded, whereas stargazing is usually federally funded; so it's like the difference of using your own bicycle, or using the company jet.
It's really not that far if you compare it to how long it took a ship to go from Europe to the United States back in the day, what was that like 3 months. And, you are still on the same planet. Double that and you are too the moon.
@@carpet498 no. I was talking in specific lengths of time. It doesn't take 3 months to go across the ocean anymore. It take little over a week to cross the ocean now.
I just wanna take a moment to explain what the whole message "20 mins away" part meant. Basically, simply put, if you took a phone while at Mars and texted someone back at Earth "hello", it would take 20 minutes for that message to reach them, and then another 20 minutes for the message "whats up" to reach your phone. This is all because of the speed of light, info, waves, etc.
that's how gps works. the satellites have clocks and send signals to your phone. the phone then does the triangulation math and puts you within a few feet because we know how fast the signal travels ultra precisely.
Psalm 147:3-5 “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!”
Alot of scientists believe that the universe isnt just expanding, it's being torn apart in a process called 'the big rip'. That 'Dark Matter', the closest thing to 'nothing' that exists, is dragging everything apart, and will eventually rip the whole universe to shreds right down to its atoms and beyond, till nothing but Dark Matter is left. Dark Matter is like the DOOMslayer though, it cant not rip and tear, and so when the universe is gone it rips and tears at itself, with such infinitely building ferocity as to produce a massive explosion, beginning the Universal cycle again.
Aside from the fact that you forgot NEPTUNE, you got it mostly correct. PLUTO was recently deemed a Dwarf Planet, not a ball of ice. RECAP: New York City is inside NEW YORK STATE which is part of the USA, Which Is On Earth. The closest neighbor is our moon (proper name is Luna) and both are part of our SOLAR SYSTEM (our Sun's proper name is Sol), from there, we become a tiny dot in the leg of the MILKY WAY GALAXY, which is one of 58 galaxys in our LOCAL GROUP OF GALAXIES, which is a section of the VIRGO SUPERCLUSTER, one of several clusters that make up the LANIAKEA SUPERCLUSTER, which can be found in the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE, a small section of THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.... Good Grief... Anyone else feel insignificant yet?
Also the diamond planet does exist it’s actually made out of carbon which diamonds are just carbon that went under extreme pressure and heat so the whole inside where the pressure and heat is immense is probably diamond
55 Cancri e is the super-Earth planet you're thinking of, which orbits 55 Cancri a. At this point, it's only a hypothesis that the planet is heavily comprised of diamond, but it's incredibly likely because of the planet's condition. 55 Cancri e is only about twice the diameter of Earth, but has over eight times the mass, suggesting its matter is pretty absurdly compressed. Where there's carbon and there's that much environmental pressure, you're gonna have diamonds.
No human has seen the observable universe, but through complex mathematical calculations around what we can observe run through an even more complex computer algorithm capable of processing that much information, we can estimate the size and structure of things beyond our immediate perception and refine that image over time. A few ancient quotes that come to mind are: From one, learn to know all And "Use all you know to reach the unknown"
My Momma taught me to remember this acronym; Man Very Early Made Jars Stand Up Nearly Perpendicular. Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto. Yes I know we disowned Pluto.
The Big Bang was an explosion. Imagine it blowing up at the center and then pushes everything outwards. There's no resistance in space so everything rushes away from the explosion and that's why the universe is expanding. Not only is it expanding, but it's picking up speed. Mind boggling.
That's how we can tell the big bang happened. We make careful measurements of how far everything is from one another and how fast it's moving apart. You can then "play the tape backwards" and do the math to see everything in the universe coming back together.
So I worked offshore after hurricane Katrina there was damage 60ft high on some of the platforms in the GOM.You sit there and wonder how the hell can these massive structures sustain this kind of damage.Then when you start pulling away from the platform it really puts in perspective of how these massive structures are really just a needle in a hay stack compared to the vast seemingly endless water everywhere.
Haha I think that thing too sometimes when I look in the mirror and start feeling like I'm just a being in a puppet or something. Good to know I'm not the only one :D
"wow i'm really in this bitch right now" and then "we the hood of the universe" hahahaha great content boys. i think every person should see that video. puts so much shit in perspective

I think it’s crazy because half the stuff might not even be there anymore but the light is still traveling towards us so we will likely never actually know
Ha, telescopes go a lot further than you think, lol. With my 12" telescope, you can see the polar caps on Mars. And, the rings of Saturn are magnificent. The furthest object I have seen through a telescope is the quasar 3C273 at 2.4-billion light-years. Note, the farthest object visible with the naked eye is the Andromeda galaxy at 2.2-million light-years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year at 186,000 miles per second.

The milky way was more than a candy bar you know what im sayin 😂
Ju herrrrrd
TSC Bownaldo 😂😂 its the most funny thing he has ever said
One of the best quotes that sums up humanity is from Terry Pratchets book The Hogfather...when death says this ' Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom'
havent seen this vid in a long minute, real shit, good looks
No problem!
"The milky way was more than a candy bar" im dead dog
55 Cancri e is a super-Earth - about twice our planet's size - that zooms around its star in 18 days. It has a surface temperature of nearly 4,900 degrees Fahrenheit (2,700 degrees Celsius). For a while it was dubbed the "diamond planet" because scientists suggested that it was composed of diamonds and graphite
That "Diamond" Planet would crash the diamond market here on earth for real.
Ok, this diamond planet with rappers and hos on it needs to be a Rick and Morty episode.
True but that diamond planet would be radioactive so we couldn't use them safely.
@@NexusDarkworld338 the planet is being ripped to shreds as we speak, it sits way closer to its star than it should, 44 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the sun if I’m not mistaken! It’s losing trillions of mass every second, but yeah, it still has a lot of time left when you think about it, but when you look at the grand scheme of things, that thing is just about gone.
1:57 "A telescope ain't going that far." 😂😂😂
"The Milky Way was more than a Candy Bar"
Yo im crying hahaha!
"These scientists smart af"
I mean yeah
You are correct, 55 Cancri e is a exoplanet. Which is twice the size of earth, with a diamond core.
When they are talking about mars saying telescopes dont go that far..... Hold our beers... keep waiting.
As the Animaniacs sang: "It's a great big universe and we're all really puny we're just tiny little speck about the size of Mickey Rooney though we don't know how we got here, really here's the plot here it's a big universe and it's ours."
oh wow, surprised you guys haven't seen this. it's a classic
great reaction!
Also I love how small and insignificant we are. It makes us special in each other's eyes because the fact that any of us gets to experience a life is a miracle no matter how fleeting it is. Now if we could just stop killing each other over property and superstition maybe we could get to a point where we collectively realize just how beautiful every one of us is and start living in accordance with that truth.
Just wanted to say thank you guys for putting out some great content this year, that brought me some good relaxation and entertaining during an otherwise chaotic year. I enjoy and appreciate your time and dedication. Many blessings to you both and your families in 2021. Cant wait to see your growth! Cheers!
Only thing i remember from science class was looking at a poster on the wall of our sun and planets, the teacher said if you now take this poster and stand in Calcutta 6000miles away, thats how close the nearest star is to our sun.. That blew my head off..
“You hear about Pluto? That’s messed up.” - Burton Guster
"The earth is the Hood of the universe" xD
That might be the best thing Ive ever heard lol
1:48
They know this with powerful telescopes, knowledge of how the night sky is mapped out, and math
Loved the reaction, funny as hell AND educational at the same time. A good Pneumonic device for remembering the planet names, and in order. "My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nachos".
yall got me weak af 🤣🤣😂😂 this video yall watching had me trippin tho when i first watched it
I believe when Voyager 1 turned around and took the picture, there was an argument over the camera being damaged by the sun. Eventually it was reasoned that the camera wouldn't be useful for too much longer and this was the best chance they had to get a picture of the Earth. When they printed the picture off, they tried getting all the dust off and one little speck wouldn't come off. Turns out that speck of dust was Earth.
When you look at it we're made of buncha atoms, universe is made of atoms, it's like universe is using us to get to know itself better
I love how you guys just chill watching science vids 😂 I love it guys! Keep doing great work 👍👍
Now I am imagining aliens locking their doors when passing Earth 🤣
your accent impressions have me dying
9:32 lmaoo I'm dead XD "when she says she likes dudes who know about the galaxies"
Earth is literally like Flatbush AT ANY TIME 💀💀
I don’t see how the universe couldn’t just be infinite. Just think about it, what the fuck exists outside of the universe. Nothingness? What was here before the universe? Nothingness. What the hell is nothingness?
Nothing is empty in space, Quantum mechanics tells us that there is no such thing as empty space. Even the most perfect vacuum is actually filled by a roiling cloud of particles and antiparticles
Nothingness is.. nothing. That's why it doesn't exist xD
Well what you can't mesure doesn't exist, doesn't mean it isn't there, it just doesn't interact with your experiment.
Even a perfect vacuum demonstrate there is force you can measure that's called the Casimir effect. So demonstrably so nothingness could probably be filled with energy, but an energy that doesn't interact with anything. It's called in quantum physics, quantum void fluctuations.
Now that said, that means empty doesn't exist and nothingness is just a lack of matter, doesn't mean there isn't energy there, it just isn't empty, it's just "nothing you can mesure".
Taking into account this universe was born, if maths are right, that means this kind of event happened, is happening and will happen an infinite amount of time in an infinite direction you choose. Probably an infinite*4 amount of universes already died, without letting any traces or being so far that the informations will never reach us so we'll never know.
Science for now just says we don't know, we can't mesure it, so it might be possible and make sense math wise. Yet it is technically impossible to measure and we'll never have the answer in our lifetimes anyway, cause we would need to travel outside our observable universe and making measurements over billions of years, which won't happen.
So nothingness isn't a thing, and the amount of universes that lived and died are most likely more numerous than the number of atoms in our entire universe itself. Making it mathematically the highest level of mathematical infinity we could conceputalize.
It's so unreal that if it's the case we'll never see it, cause we'll never access the information anyway. The probability of our universe being the only one contradicts math, and usually scientists are good at that.
To fill you with awe, there is probably an infinite variations of you asking the same question in all those universes.
Well I know it's not nothingness think of it like this, nothing = 0 something/everything else = 1 - infinity....but by stating that nothingness exists you are therefore making it something so it goes from 0 to 1 so actual nothingness would be something we aren't aware of that we aren't aware of...if that makes sense
The universe might wrap back around on itself. So if you travel in one direction long enough, you'll end up back where you were. Time itself is curved like a donut.
Imma build a club on Mars, call it the Mars Bar.
that sound like somethin lil wayne would say in a song lol
You drink liquid??
Ive seen a whole bunch of react content, and the dynamic between you two is definitely something unique. Keep it going its great
Fun space fact: In the constellation Orion there is a planet known as Betelgeuse that is either about to achieve a supernova, or already has and we're waiting for the light to get here. One day we'll look up at the sky and witness the biggest explosion in human history. Despite how far away it is, it will be visible with the naked eye
"I want to explore... but I've seen anime"
me: mood!
I'm just sitting here yelling "NEPTUNE"
About the planets in our system; In order : Mercury-Venus-Earth-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune. So 8 planets total. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
You can see planets going by stars with telescopes that pick up minor changes in dimness of the light. There are procedures to figure out how big and the actual make up of the planets atmospheres through the light that gets filtered out.
Astronomy is the ultimate destroyer of ego
My question is: how tf do they know all this, if we never been that far? You have 90% of the ocean undiscovered on earth but they know how many galaxies and how big the universe is...
Well, to be fair, the reason for knowing what we know about both has to do with light. The Universe is full of different lights, so it's easy to calculate a lot of what we know using the light given off from stars and galaxies, however, after a couple of hundred feet in the ocean, it gets pitch black. And then there's the problem of the bone crushing pressure in the ocean. It cost an insane amount of money to just see a football sized portion of the bottom of the ocean, and it's usually privately funded, whereas stargazing is usually federally funded; so it's like the difference of using your own bicycle, or using the company jet.
The Super Caribbean cluster is the most mysterious cluster🤣
There's 8: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune.
Little dose the guy on the right know, that diamond planet is slowly being devoured by it's star
"...my brain..." I feel you... I do...
Neil Degrassi Tyson is somewhere interrupting someone saying “if you value mountain climbing”
Dude In black has such a good vibe to him.
It's really not that far if you compare it to how long it took a ship to go from Europe to the United States back in the day, what was that like 3 months. And, you are still on the same planet. Double that and you are too the moon.
🤔 🤔
You telling me a boat was going 100kmph an hour 🙄
@@carpet498 no. I was talking in specific lengths of time. It doesn't take 3 months to go across the ocean anymore. It take little over a week to cross the ocean now.
I just wanna take a moment to explain what the whole message "20 mins away" part meant. Basically, simply put, if you took a phone while at Mars and texted someone back at Earth "hello", it would take 20 minutes for that message to reach them, and then another 20 minutes for the message "whats up" to reach your phone.
This is all because of the speed of light, info, waves, etc.
Bruhhhhhhh no it wouldn’t they ain’t got cell towers on mars
that's how gps works. the satellites have clocks and send signals to your phone. the phone then does the triangulation math and puts you within a few feet because we know how fast the signal travels ultra precisely.
Psalm 147:3-5 “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!”
Alot of scientists believe that the universe isnt just expanding, it's being torn apart in a process called 'the big rip'. That 'Dark Matter', the closest thing to 'nothing' that exists, is dragging everything apart, and will eventually rip the whole universe to shreds right down to its atoms and beyond, till nothing but Dark Matter is left. Dark Matter is like the DOOMslayer though, it cant not rip and tear, and so when the universe is gone it rips and tears at itself, with such infinitely building ferocity as to produce a massive explosion, beginning the Universal cycle again.
Aside from the fact that you forgot NEPTUNE, you got it mostly correct. PLUTO was recently deemed a Dwarf Planet, not a ball of ice.
RECAP: New York City is inside NEW YORK STATE which is part of the USA, Which Is On Earth. The closest neighbor is our moon (proper name is Luna) and both are part of our SOLAR SYSTEM (our Sun's proper name is Sol), from there, we become a tiny dot in the leg of the MILKY WAY GALAXY, which is one of 58 galaxys in our LOCAL GROUP OF GALAXIES, which is a section of the VIRGO SUPERCLUSTER, one of several clusters that make up the LANIAKEA SUPERCLUSTER, which can be found in the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE, a small section of THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE....
Good Grief...
Anyone else feel insignificant yet?
Also the diamond planet does exist it’s actually made out of carbon which diamonds are just carbon that went under extreme pressure and heat so the whole inside where the pressure and heat is immense is probably diamond
55 Cancri e is the super-Earth planet you're thinking of, which orbits 55 Cancri a. At this point, it's only a hypothesis that the planet is heavily comprised of diamond, but it's incredibly likely because of the planet's condition. 55 Cancri e is only about twice the diameter of Earth, but has over eight times the mass, suggesting its matter is pretty absurdly compressed. Where there's carbon and there's that much environmental pressure, you're gonna have diamonds.
An AU or astronomical unit is about 93,000,000 miles. So the Voyager probe is roughly 11,000,000,000 miles away going around 40,000 miles per hour.
6:00 - Ah yes, the existential crisis. Yet remember, you are able to look up and see and think about this, the universe made aware through you.
this video is crazyy you guys should react to "The ocean is way deeper than you think" its ridiculous too
No human has seen the observable universe, but through complex mathematical calculations around what we can observe run through an even more complex computer algorithm capable of processing that much information, we can estimate the size and structure of things beyond our immediate perception and refine that image over time.
A few ancient quotes that come to mind are:
From one, learn to know all
And
"Use all you know to reach the unknown"
The patois had me dying lmao, the click click ahhh to describe the cokes 😂
My Momma taught me to remember this acronym;
Man Very Early Made Jars Stand Up Nearly Perpendicular.
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto.
Yes I know we disowned Pluto.
videos like this about the universe will put me in an existential crisis so quick lmao it's so interesting though
Yall forgettin about poor neptune
The Big Bang was an explosion. Imagine it blowing up at the center and then pushes everything outwards. There's no resistance in space so everything rushes away from the explosion and that's why the universe is expanding. Not only is it expanding, but it's picking up speed. Mind boggling.
That's how we can tell the big bang happened. We make careful measurements of how far everything is from one another and how fast it's moving apart. You can then "play the tape backwards" and do the math to see everything in the universe coming back together.
Look at the video with the craziest planets like the one made entirely of oil
So I worked offshore after hurricane Katrina there was damage 60ft high on some of the platforms in the GOM.You sit there and wonder how the hell can these massive structures sustain this kind of damage.Then when you start pulling away from the platform it really puts in perspective of how these massive structures are really just a needle in a hay stack compared to the vast seemingly endless water everywhere.
Haha I think that thing too sometimes when I look in the mirror and start feeling like I'm just a being in a puppet or something. Good to know I'm not the only one :D
"wow i'm really in this bitch right now" and then "we the hood of the universe" hahahaha great content boys. i think every person should see that video. puts so much shit in perspective
"100 thousand yards on the first down" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
You know how hard it is to be a scientist? Best rhetorical question!
There are eight planets in our solar system, Pluto is dubbed as a dwarf planet
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus
Aliens drive by Earth like its the the hood of the Universe....now thats deep as it is freakin hilarious!
There’s another video that says there’s a planet where it rains glass sideways and another where there’s winds of like 80,000 miles per hour
18:01 you might want to look up what this word means "observable"
"Earth is the hood of the universe"😂 2:30
I’m really happy you guys are starting to react to videos like these, you’re easily the best reactors on TH-cam imo so I can’t wait to see your reactions to more RealLifeLore and hopefully OverSimplified and Bill Wurtz history of the world
Keep it up lads and Happy New Year from the U.K.
You can see Mars, Saturn or Jupiter from Earth. Whenever you see a particularly large "star" it's one of those.
I think it’s crazy because half the stuff might not even be there anymore but the light is still traveling towards us so we will likely never actually know
I remembered "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Up Nine Planets"
But it took me a hot second to remember that the N is for Neptune
Neptune is the one I always forget too
When my man started started trying to figure out the local group he needed a board, some strong and some push pins📍
Ha, telescopes go a lot further than you think, lol. With my 12" telescope, you can see the polar caps on Mars. And, the rings of Saturn are magnificent. The furthest object I have seen through a telescope is the quasar 3C273 at 2.4-billion light-years. Note, the farthest object visible with the naked eye is the Andromeda galaxy at 2.2-million light-years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year at 186,000 miles per second.
If you're looking for an anime that kinda goes into this watch Gurren Lagan!
You guys remind me of frankenstein lab. Good setup, good humor, and good vibes. Earned a sub!
1:51 Math and Astronomy, easy to calculate moving celestial objects cause they move at a constant rate (most of the time).
Love your channel btw. 😎👍
