I’m so happy I found this channel! I have had a deep love for astronomy for my entire life. I would lay on my dad’s truck bed and stargaze when we were at our hunting camp in the woods of Mississippi. The light pollution was minimal there so the sky was especially dark. On cloudless nights my dad would point out all of the constellations and the individual stars with his high powered binoculars. The Andromeda galaxy was the first thing I’d look for and then I would look for Betelgeuse… I ended up studying Molecular Biology in college instead of astronomy, which I regret slightly, but I’ve sought out knowledge of the field ever since. TH-cam is full of great videos on astronomy, but most of them are very simple, only covering the basics… I prefer to learn on a much deeper level with the astrophysics and cosmology included, and this lecture series is PERFECT! I am definitely going to be binging the whole thing! Thanks for your extraordinary work!
2:18:03 omg! I can’t believe you can actually see the solar prominences on the sun’s surface during totality! Like with the naked eye! I am genuinely blown away by this!
It's so tragic that 90% of the population has 10% of the star light in cities and surrounding light pollution. In truly dark areas you can see the "milky way".
Great observational clips of Lunar Eclipses Professor ! It's encouraging me to get out there. Especially after some modifications to my small Newtonian. Threw a true Parabolic Mirror in 114 mm, added a Dual Speed GSO Focuser that can accept 2 in. eyepieces, added small tracking motor, revamped Finderscope, Celestrons 114 EQ Astromaster improved ! I would like to inquire if you has yet tried the "Oculars", "Plug In", in Stellarium it has really helped me select Eyepiece and with redesign for Planet viewing. If not I would encourage giving it a try. I notice there is a bit more fuzzyness than my scope actually has on Jupiter and Saturn. I look forward to trying a 2.3 mm Wide Eyepiece f/ Celestron and a better than stock Secondary Mirror as fortune allows me. Cheers! Clear Skies! Unfortunately for me I'm in PNW and go off others observations throughout most of the yr. except for a couple months of the yr. Probably nothing short of amazing I would continue to opt. to Major in Physics!
A couple of nights ago, 8/26/24 just south of Baltimore, I was surprised by the amount of stars I could see towards the East. Orion's 7 brightest stars were all easily visible. Jupiter was very bright. Mars was that beautiful copper red and just below Jupiter. I've noticed through the years that looking towards the Chesapeake Bay the sky is much darker for obvious reasons. The bay and DelMar peninsula are very dark. Can't see much looking in any other directions. Which sucks.
I think if you go 100+ miles west on a weekend trip, or into the Appalacians a bit, you'll get darker skies. I would imagine parts of West Virginia are quite dark.
@@JasonKendallAstronomer The Appalachian mountains are amazing from October to March. The mosquitoes are intolerable the rest of the year. The worst I've ever experienced.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's a LOT more to come here!

I was a little kid getting dragged out of bed to see a famous comet. Hopefully I live long enough to see its return.
Thank you for continuing to make these great lessons! I really learn a lot each time I watch them.
Glad you like them!
Oh if you only knew how often your lectures play in this house. We are big fans. #teamPluto
Wow, those are some LONG videos in this playlist! Looking forward to watching them!
Glad you like them!
Yes. I shall learn the secrets of the stars.

Thank you for this! Loved it as usual. Amazing work
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been enjoying this playlist a lot. Is it possible to get that ppt for revision afterwards?
Also thank you so much for this amazing content.

I’m taking a Astro class in college and I need to study over summer to gets full A’s
I´m searching astrnomers observation networks! Maybe some pro can give me direction please? THX
Check out NASA Night Sky Network:
nightsky.jpl.nasa.gov
It’s filled with university and amateur clubs and organizations from across the US.
Great job!!’
Love it ❤ Greetings from Norway ❤
Thank you! 😃
It’s all that it means lol
