A Tour of the Universe With Space Engine (Part 1)

[@silentcaay]

They recently patched in VR support and it's absolutely amazing. Being able to visit Neptune, the Andromeda Galaxy, the very fringe of the universe and everything in between, in VR, in the comfort of your home. It's just mind-blowing.

[@CepheusCosmos]

Would prefer if you actually talked over these clips like explaining the different objects

[@dan_]

Yeah, agreed. It would be nice if this could be an educational series using Space Engine to help visualise concepts and distances that people usually can't grasp in their minds alone.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Guys, that's what I did for the entire astronomy playlist. I used this program to capture footage of the objects I was talking about, and showed the footage while explaining things. I wanted to do something at the end of the series to just show the beauty of the program in isolation.

[@dan_]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains Sounds perfect, I'll go find it! I'm new to the channel, found you via the Globebusters debunking stuff not long ago.

[@timothyamaraobrien]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains No, please! Let the images and music speak for themselves! I can't believe people don't want to just experience them as they are.

[@sixrings5529]

​@@ProfessorDaveExplains fr the beginning is legit iconic, that scene popped up like 8 times throughout the series lmao.

[@Deqster]

Wow, not sure how I missed this before What a cool set of scenery and I love the ambient music. That's something I'm getting into doing myself. Retroactive thanks Dave!

[@UNIRockLIVE]

I love space engine. Such a great simulator. Great video dave

[@dishandias4202]

me too

[@KrizaIid117]

I shat my pants.

[@cherrycolareal]

Understandable, have a nice day

[@timothyamaraobrien]

Brilliant! Meditative... captures the wonders of our universe and especially our own solar system beautifully. Having just the images and the music is wonderful.

0:55 The sizes and distances of those moons seem inaccurate.. Is the size exaggerated on purpose?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

as far as i know everything is supposed to be accurate and to scale in every way so it should be correct. perhaps perspective is playing a part here. also given that i didn't specify the object in the notes i actually don't recall if that's Saturn or not, it does look like Saturn but it could be an exoplanet

[@kyjo72682]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains Ah, I see. It's probably some exoplanet then. I think Saturn's moons would be comparatively much smaller.. at least that's how they are displayed by the Celestia engine.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-XaYWpjZmLbqs

[@Richardj410]

Thanks for showing me this program. Going to download it and have fun. Keep up the good work.

[@Yawnasmr28]

I love SPACE!

[@unknown2u909]

Who else is watching because their friend send you the video but it’s actually sick?

[@reynardmoses]

I hope in the future, mankind can make live situation that connects real universe with a 3d simulation program, death of star, galaxies colliding with each other, universe expansion, all live connected to a 3d simulation program real time. Don't bother, just my wishful thinking

[@tazdianbrewhaha1402]

Good chance we're all living inside a much more advanced version of this program

[@kyjo72682]

why?

[@anytoons4492]

Ask yourself.

[@anytoons4492]

Much more advanced but still this game is good.

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

Very cool, however the music gave me the feeling like something was gonna jump out and get me!! Still great though!! 👍😀🐧🎶

[@anuragtiwari2270]

Sir is it the end of your astronomy tutorial??

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Yep! At least for now.

[@anuragtiwari2270]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains miss u sir.. Your astronomy tutorial was very interesting

[@markedwards5289]

Nice program loved the visuals

[@michaelpisciarino5348]

Even if I’m big, I’m still small

[@swayanjeebpradhan3977]

Hey dude.. Since when did you start explaining space things?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Since I started releasing astronomy tutorials like 9 months ago!

[@swayanjeebpradhan3977]

Ohh nice

[@virginiaperez8584]

Out of this world 🌎 !

[@rickyoswald]

Was expecting a pan down to a train and Midgar

[@tazdianbrewhaha1402]

That's amazing! Great demo I'm going to check this out for sure! Thanks for the info! P.S. Superhero n Science mini series?

[@Arkin647]

No intro?

[@epicwyvern]

wow i didnt know you had space engine! was wondering if you could send me your settings for the engine

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

no specific settings i just use it!

[@orvishana1210]

Saturn sounds like a pod of whales, kinda freaky

[@kamleshpatil7561]

Something problem to send a mail , do u have alternative mail??!

[@europebasedvlogs1251]

Send me the thing

[@tyrannic9113]

I come here now because real school's closed

[@azrieljale]

1:30 Excuse me, wha kind of demonic-ass planet is this xD

[@Релёкс84]

It's a wind pattern that's expected to occur on tidally locked planets.

[@MrStretch82]

Love space engine, it really is (pardon the pun) out of this world. Liked and subbed. I have a question for you, I will email you

[@Unfamiliarmanic]

[@vizirira3826]

You think this is real??????? So you belive in fable - great!

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

This a computer simulation, genius.
