10 Mind-Blowing Recent Astronomical Developments

[@asdf123311]

I’m so fortunate to have lived in the era of John Michael Godier.

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

I hope that era lasts a good long while lol

[@asdf123311]

John Michael Godier ... wow a reply from the legend himself! Yes, I hope we are all around when humanity discovers irrefutable evidence alien life. Thanks for all your work, I hope you know you’ve made a huge impact in your life which will be long lasting.

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

@@asdf123311 legend? 😂

[@ro4eva]

@@DanceySteveYNWA -- Yeah it is a stretch, but the dude does make outstanding videos and has a buttery-smooth voice to narrate them. I sincerely wish him well. He deserves more subscribers. It would be great to meet him. I'd buy him a six-pack -- the least I could do after having viewed and gleefully listened to nearly all his content. His vids make me appreciate our cosmos.

[@stevejquest]

You believe in John Michael Godier? Come on man, the evidence for this is mostly conjecture and speculation -- with a lot of wishful thinking thrown in. There is no direct evidence so far, for the existence of John Michael Godier. 😉

[@imonymous]

Listening to this video helped me recover from a panic attack tonight.

[@ItsAsparageese]

I hope you're feeling better. I'm glad you managed to find something relaxing to engage with and redirect the state your body was in :)

[@SquirrelASMR]

Same actually. Sometimes I get panic and anxiety even thinking about sleeping. Because falling asleep means it will be tomorrow instantly and I panic that time is going by so fast and in wasting it all

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

I am glad to have helped! Just put these videos on whenever you need to escape and be calm.

[@stevejquest]

@@JohnMichaelGodier Discussions around the idea of an asteroid impact of the scale that took out the dinosaurs does the opposite for me, I find such debate to be rather disquieting. And when I realize that we are overdue for just such an event and that we have absolutely no way of preventing such an event, well you might imagine my reaction. 😉 Indeed, the lack of global concern following the unexpected and very real Chelyabinsk impact is something we ALL should find troubling.

[@snivla4]

I suffer clinical anxiety and Mr Godier is right have a lie down JMG or Event Horizon on shuffle repeat and you will chill to the Max. I listen like that nearly every night and the hosts voice is soothing and the subject matter really helps you meditate if you will when you least feel relaxed. I hope you feel better every day I know how you feel honestly and I know sometimes its like running away from something you just cant get away from and there is no end. Trust me there is hope and im sure with this channel there is a lot more for you. Thinking of you and others like us as I listen . All the best and glad you felt better listening in.....x

[@detectiveh7399]

I laughed at the line "Venus being envisioned as a hot jungle world and Mars as hosting a civilisation building canals and plotting against humans". Love your videos

[@relativeus]

Seriously, this content is fantastic and always the most current and interesting. But the voice is really what amps up the enjoyment.

[@MrEnjoivolcom1]

I'd love to hear some space/astronomical asmr by him!

[@savanchandul7451]

But the very frequent 3 minute adds makes it really distracting.

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@savanchandul7451 Creators barely have any influence over how many ads appear and where they show up. They have zero influence over how long ads are. That's all Googtube targeting you and picking whatever crap advertisers paid to publish. Don't blame the creator for that part of things, it's not their fault that tolerating advertisements is the only way they can get paid to make you free content. And use an adblocker if it bothers you too much.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Yeah I love his relaxing narration, and my favorite part is the sneaky subtle jokes that blend right in and make me realize them a second after the fact because he has such a chill tone lol

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

You all sound like Gays

[@bobbyschmurda7500]

I didnt want the video to end. The narrator speaks very fluently and with detailed information. I love how he comfortably uses particular words. The editing is smooth and easy. Rare to see such a good channel

[@NapoleChan]

finally something decent worth clicking quickly on...

[@ThePaulv12]

I couldn't agree with you more!

[@yishaqdavid2029]

Lack of a gas giant to me sounds like a great filter. I think the fact we have 4 giants planets to take the hits for us is a very fortunate situation.

[@deanerhar]

And the fact that the gas giants are further out than our own orbit. Makes the drake equation require quite a bit of nuanced variables doesn’t it? Rarity of phosphorous, necessity of gas giants, and all the little goldilocks prerequisites… astonishing just how rare life may be… not counting intelligent life…

[@unknownfact4466]

Yes, in the big picture we are lucky we have Jupiter, and then Saturn to help keep Jupiter in place.

[@jeffbenton6183]

Not to mention, balancing out each other's gravity so none venture into the Inner Solar System.

[@kurtengel4652]

what's mind blowing to me is how we keep discovering that there are bigger and bigger stars a few years ago it was Canis Majoris, before i knew it UY Scuti then more recently I hear of Stephenson's Star

[@RikkiSpanish]

I know, right? It's crazy to think that there are probably even larger stars out there whom are yet to be discovered. I can't even begin to fathom just how massive any of them truly are.

[@rebelli65]

Imagine if there was an exoplanet with life around one of those massive stars. We would never be able to tell!

[@stevenbender66]

I know I'm a little late, but congratulations on reaching 250,000 subscribers. Your videos are both educational and entertaining. Add in that fantastic voice you have, and that makes this one of my favorite channels. Thank you Mr. Godier for broadening my horizons, and keeping my mind open to endless possibilities. Cheers mate.

[@salemsaberhagen8926]

Your videos always give me hope for mankind. Asking the big questions. Discussing the science with a high degree of rigurosity, qualifying your statements, letting us know when the conclusions are still uncertain, and backing everything with proper sources. We need more scientific channels like yours, spreading knowledge without dumbing it down to the point it becomes meaningless clickbait. Keep it up! I love your channel.

[@kpgartner]

Top 10 list. Perfect for a Sunday night.

I can tell you one thing, the 10 Mind-Blowing Recent Astronomical Developments as you put are pretty damn mind blowing. No clickbait here! (oh that's two things)

[@floatthecreek]

When I first heard of the disappearing stars, I thought of the short story "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke.

[@stevenbender66]

Arthur C. Clarke imo is the most underrated person that ever lived. The mans wit and intelligence, along with his ability to look at things around us in ways we never thought to, is astonishing. So I always have to give a thumbs up to anyone who brings his name up in any conversation. 👍 Cheers mate.

[@danieljames2718]

So this year has gone sideways for all of us, but one good thing to have come out of it, is my rekindled love for astronomy. I have been following both your channels, and it has helped update me hugely. I gave astronomy up years ago, due to bullying at school. Anyhow, I'm back and 10 months in to it all. I was wondering, however, where people with astronomy channels get their content from in terms of images and video? I've looked online and not had many answers. I assumed maybe people got a license from some place for it, again I don't know where. Any info you could give would be seriously appreciated. I am really hoping to get good enough soon to start making some videos, even if it's a labour of love, I don't care, I just want to get into it as much as possible ad make up for lost time. Thanks for the info and videos. Daniel.

[@ikeyasector]

The crazy thing is that Betelgeuse is approximately 700 light years from Earth (if the wiki is correct). So what sucks is if the star collapsed 500 years ago, we still wouldn't see it in our lifetime. Such things can be very dangerous in the future if we ever develop light speed, FTL or worm holes for travel. We could go to a star system many light years away that looks perfectly fine only to be bombarded by the aftermath of a super nova that occurred 10 or 100 years prior. The importance of probes are... well... important.

Lately I've been having this idea... Imagine being an intelligent being living in an intergallactic starless planet where your species evolved in an underground liquid water environment, then at one point your species develop the technology to dig up against the absolute zero ice to discover an universe of stars. Must be a crazy revelation moment. Especially with no atmosphere and perfect view of entire galaxies.

[@tarawallis9823]

You assume that any life that spends its entire existence underground would have eyes or even be able to see, when there are species on earth in which live underground that are blind and have no eyes due to evolutionary and environmental processes. Don’t just assume human characteristics to something.
