Yea, ive been into astronomy since before i had access to the internet. Im tired of asking a question like "why are some of the largest volcanos in the solar system in one area on mars? Wandering hotspot?" And i get some lecture by some dude who didnt even answer or speculate on my question. About earth plate tectonics.

[@Vernon-gn9wb]

Always wondered how a comet would impact the earth, turns out porus things are good insulators, and they move fast enough to not explode in the atmosphere

[@EyeoIsis]

Love your channel, but your video titles have become a bit like click bait and they're often about "wrong science" which isn't wrong after all??????.

[@bigsarge2085]

Back in the 1990's we lived deep in the Rockies, in Wyoming. I remember going out at night to view comet Hale-Bopp, and with no light pollution, the tail stretched nearly a third of the way across the sky and was greenish in color.

[@seanjayson9513]

I saw the same on Guam.

[@borderite88]

Army training at Yakima at that time, none of the light pollution in Seattle/Tacoma, even used night vision glasses to see it.

[@2beJT]

I remember sitting in a hot spring on a mountain top in Colorado and just staring at the big gash and I had forgotten how the sky looked when I was a kid. Of course, the high mountaintops had us at an even better vantage point than I had back then.

Shoemaker Levy 9 terrified me. If it had missed Jupiter it would have been hurled into the inner solar system right in our neighborhood. Im not an expert but Jupiter showed its worth during that encounter. However, at the same time, if the comet had missed, Jupiters gravitational influence may have hurled the many fragments helter skelter into the inner solar system, actually increasing our odds of getting hit by at least one of the fragments maybe more. Jupiter is both a blessing and a nightmare at the same time.

[@pauls5745]

Earth has been a target on large scale a few times by asteroids. we'll be due for another extinction level impact in something like 500 million years. The moon, Jupiter, Mars all have been our shields and saviors.

[@terrymckenzie8786]

That’s why many professionals say these Jupiter size planets are the first planet to their stars all over the universe. Earths big gas planet so far out is extremely rare which is why maybe our solar system is one of a kind, so no other life out there. Just us 😢

[@denisbrooker7115]

[@oakley6889]

​​​@@epicgamernik76 it is not confirmed. Infact, there is an account from 1904 from John Morley (UK parliament) attributing it to Voltaire (French writer), in the book "Works of Voltaire. A Contemporary Version Critique and Biography". That book was around almost 100 years before Einstein's birth year. Saying that, alot of known Einstein's quotes were paraphrases of other peoples quotes, he was an intellectual (of course) and thus took in alot of knowledge and inspiration from those around him.

5:12 “Suisei” is pronounced more like “swee-say”. Japanese is phonetically simple for vowels. The “e” for Sakigake is same as “e” in Suisei. Suisei also happens to be the Japanese word for “comet” 😊

[@grumpus5248]

Thank you. It's been slowly killing me the whole video.

[@Atylonisus]

Look, you're absolutely correct, but it's hilarious to me that you had to use the other Japanese word pronunciation to help define the first Japanese word. Our Nihongo is not Jyōzu

[@mwwhatever]

I'm really impressed that in the 80's they were apparently able to design a probe that could be hit, then stabilize itself, and resume communications with Earth.

[@UNSCPILOT]

In fairness, the Voyagers were launched in the 70's and are still rocking along, though I'm not sure if they ever had any "significant" impacts, probably something to look into later

[@jimmyzhao2673]

The calculations to be able to rendezvous and take pictures of the comet is absolutely astounding.

[@feralfoods]

i pre-ordered your book and i am looking forward to it, thank you for all you do! -peace.

[@just2bme1000]

It's interesting that you pronounce it as "Hal - E", I grew up knowing it as "Hay - lee's" comet.

[@richardshansky3040]

Me too but he is actually pronouncing it correctly

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

No

[@rhouser1280]

I remember watching Halley’s Comet when I was little with my father & grandfather. I think I was 6 or 7. I wish I would’ve realized the significance of it at that time. I doubt I’ll be alive to see it again with my kids. But hopefully maybe someone in my lineage will get the opportunity to see it twice.

[@jjones503]

I'm in the same boat. old enough to remember it, wasn't old enough to appreciate it like I would now, but wish I could.

[@hansmitapriyavrat1305]

I know space exploration missions have been happening for some time now. Still it is so impressive to see scientists working together to fulfill these incredible missions again and again. One of the few times I am proud to be a Human.

Experts - "Trust science, we know our stuff" Skeptics - "I think you need to do more testings" Experts - "Shut-up anti-science" (censors skeptics) Model proven wrong Experts - "welp, see this is how science works, trust science"

[@clauslangenbroek9897]

Because science is all about testing. You don't say to a bus driver "You should do more bus driving," except for implication of criticism. On the other hand, testing is all about uncertainties (normally, scientists are very upfront about this, because that's what they do. In their papers, mind you, not in comment sections.) I think they are right to shut them up.

[@NicholasLatipi]

as long I am not compelled to participate in their testings and experiment as lab rats and demonized if I resist I don't care how they do their "science"

[@Doortodoorgeek]

thank you for calling it a supercut up front

[@SheringtonMalta]

Awesome super cut! I should mention that Armageddon was the film about sending a team of oil drillers to blow up an asteroid on a collision course with earth. Deep Impact was about a comet actually hitting earth. Both films are dreadful 😂

[@tykjenffs]

And then we have "Don't Look Up" which probably is the more realistic approach ^

[@davidconner-shover51]

I remember living in southern Utah when Halley's comet flew by, very little light pollution nearby, all the decent sized towns about 45 miles away. it lit a fat chunk of the sky on a moonless night. BTW you can see about you on starlight alone, it just needs to get dark enough

[@lancerevell5979]

I've wondered if other star systems have their equivalents to the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud? And their own comets? 😎👍 So, Comet 67P will eventually break apart into two major masses? That will be interesting.

[@Admiral_Lynx89]

No mention of Hale-Bop, which was also fully visible without telescopes? For shame!/lhj I don't know if you're old enough to know of, or remember it, but that is the comet that all true 90s gen kids remember. At least here in the usa, where I know many of us were able to watch it. In the southern part of the southern state Georgia, my and a friend's family gathered to watch it later than any young elementary age kid was ever allowed to stay up. One of the interesting hold-overs from the event was a Hey Arnold! episode featuring a made up comet inspired by Hale-Bop, and the importance being able to share multi-generational viewings of rare events like these, instead of allowing them to just pass on by with indifference. (Rare in the sense you don't need a telescope, at least.)

[@chrissoucy104]

Great review of the events, some of which I was unaware thanks for this 😊

[@Baerchenization]

No, witnessing an extinction level event is not a once in a lifetime opportunity, unless you grow to be 100 million years old.
