Explore The Solar System: 360 Degree Interactive Tour!

[@Thought-Cafe]

We loved making this video! We're happy to see so many of you enjoying it!

[@Maryam-td6rj]

You did an amazing job! Thank you!!

[@HamidrezaParsa]

+Thought Café easter eggs were much more interesting than the main topic.

[@zoopdterdoobdter5743]

What sorcery is this!? Burn the witches! ... After they do one for the Milky Way...and maybe the larger galactic neighborhood, too...

[@KillTheFace55]

This is great work! A video or two like this for the major learning series would greatly increase the immersion in learning. Such applications of technology are difficult, but when used for education the effort is worth it! Great job, Thought Café!

[@jacobyoung8013]

I loved all of the little details (LSP, Tardis, etc.)

[@besmart]

Sooooooo coooooooool I'm basically an astronaut now. Thanks guys!

[@EvilJapanesePie]

Looks like you've been beaten this time. TAKE YOUR GLORY!

[@mkd2839]

+It's Okay To Be Smart But you need a contact lens because Astronaut can't wear glasses in space ;)

[@aaronrodriguez110]

One awesome KZbin channel giving props and acknowledging another?! Love it!! Everyone check out Joe Hanson's channel - it's just as good as CC, it's just a different flavor. The more content the better, thank goodness for both of these great channels

[@quaquyt]

It's Okay To Be Smart i

[@corpsescornah6524]

You can’t just be an astronaut that fast

[@chez9044]

Imagine after some 1000's of years people watching this video with subtitles and laughing at us, how much, yet how little we knew about our own solar system. btw best video i'v ever seen

[@Combustionsquirrel]

Hands down the coolest video i've ever seen on KZbin.

[@sudeepjoseph69]

Hands up squirrel, I wiill eat cereal for dinner because you are under arrest

[@X-3K]

We need another one of these for anatomy and physiology!

[@kcwidman]

All I can say is ewwwwww

[@tigerfloof]

+Kai Widman this.

[@nataliarios2564]

genius

[@Matthew-we1ro]

AND HISTORY

[@onetwo9500]

+Sebastian Carrier anatomy? 360 about where the food goes? ewww gross

[@swordyuri]

It was also hilarious how you also added random things floating around in space (including a Crash Course astronaut and what looked like a paper airplane)!

[@RM-nl9es]

I didn't know you could move around the video with your finger. I was walking around my room in a slow circle

[@Moscato_Moscato]

LoL me too

[@민석-y3x]

thanks to you, i recognized that can move around with finger. haha

[@xenoblad]

THANK YOU!!!

[@SuperPlatypus123]

Oh sure, NOW you tell me...

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

I was on the toilet when this came up in my feed, so I sat for five minutes turning around gradually while trying to poo :P

[@adhilahmad2371]

Thank you so much, I've loved watching all these episodes and will probably watch a couple of episodes again. You guys have probably the most fun/educational channel on youtube! Thank you again, Phil Plait and all your team!

[@Moscato_Moscato]

Please do more of these!!!

[@whatsinaname7289]

Yeah, please do!!!

[@nicholascooper945]

+Deebo Molina A tour of historical events as animated by thought bubble. I WANT IT!

[@xenoblad]

+Playstation Newbie idk, they have to be really careful with what historical events they choose.

[@isidorapetrovic6974]

+Playstation Newbie that is great idea

[@SuperExodian]

+xenoblad the mongols!

[@justinpang5694]

DID ANYONE SEE LUMPY SPACE PRINCES AT 4:09

[@autismusprime4952]

[@rottridge]

what

[@Zyxxi]

I had no idea KZbin could even do this! This is amazing! My mind is blown. It even works on mobile with tilt controls! Keep up the awesome work. Interactive utilities like this are invaluable to our youth and truly anyone wanting to learn.

[@willlu3220]

this video is basically the proof of concept for all 360 videos to be used as educational tools. Well done thoughtcafe!

[@dantefox6556]

Guys make sure to give them a like!!!! It probably took weeks to make this!

[@nickcounter6254]

+TehGoldenFox Fox more like months ;)

[@outfrootz292]

+Nick Counter more like years

[@edgarfigueroa5688]

+Edwin Cuellar (Food) more like decades

[@clintross7778]

Agreed

[@markcarls1896]

Nah. I think them using my money to make this will suffice.

[@fahadassaf6938]

one of the most creative and cool video ever exist

[@internetcitizen7633]

Most agreed!

[@ulysses7157]

agreed

[@symbioticcoherence8435]

+Fahad Assaf In my opinion, they could have made more out of the 360 video. One did not gain any new information by turning. College Humor made a brilliant example of a 360 video. If you did not turn your sight, you would have believed mike his story, beacause it was fully convincing, as long as you only watched him, as he told you in the beginning. If you however decided to watch the rebell and watch the Background your view was not only very interesting and funny, it also revieled that he was a liar. people seemed friendly and normal and friendly or creepy and strange depending on your actions.

[@maddie9602]

+Symbiotic Coherence which video are you referencing? (I only just now realized that the KZbin app had this function)

[@FactoryVortex]

So I saw a lot of spaceships, some astronauts (probably Hank or Phil), silver surfer, star destroyer, TARDIS, lumpy space princess, USS Enterprise, Cosmos' spaceship of imagination, Greek mythical chariot of the sun (presumably rode by Helios or his son, Phaethon), UFO, and I think that's almost it! Tell me if I miss something!

[@ellaphantom9980]

lumpy space princess, the tardis and a character in an astronaut suit are floating around. 😂

[@DarthCindros]

+Jaden Smith and the Ship of Imagination from the Cosmos reboot.

[@megamcee]

+Jaden Smith there was also a Star Destroyer near Mars at one point

[@Moon_Men]

+Jaden Smith also the ship from futurama

[@lolatomroflsinnlos]

+Jaden Smith Rick and Morty were there too!

[@kevinleovic1]

+Jaden Smith I also noticed a Base Star near Pluto at the end of the video.

[@tes8771]

It took half a video for me to grasp the concept of a 360 deg video (I just woke up) but anyways this is AMAZING

[@themanwiththepan]

I was watching this video wondering why the hell it wasn't doing anything as he was talking. Then I realised I could pan around. WHAT MAGIC IS THIS

[@robertwkk8362]

welcome to 2017

[@yan749]

if it isnt for you，im still wondering

[@Adam-xf3ko]

thanks for this comment, I was just doing the same thing haha

[@eboubaker3722]

@Ayaan Khan no it is not vr , it is 360 degree video.

[@thenebulasystem8251]

I was watching while standing in my room in the dark on my iPad and moving around with the video, subconsciously following along. When it was over I went to sit down on my bed and almost fell down on the floor (luckily I caught myself). My bed seemed to have moved, and the illusion persisted for a bit. That's how engrossing this was, I loved it, it was worth the stumble. :)

[@Mi2Lethal]

Spent the first half of the video just listening to him without realizing you could move it around.

[@serjaimelannister6630]

Woahh. Did anyone else just stare at the sun blankly and wonder if anything was going to happen, and then proceeded to be absolutely mindblown when you figured it out?

[@G_Rad_Ski]

Very cool! I didn't know the Purple People Eater was a Belter.

[@thelastone0001]

+sgirardacus7 Thats lumpy space princes from adventure time

[@samuellecalvez6699]

+sgirardacus7 It's Lumpy Space Princess from adventure time

[@KnockoutVirus]

+sgirardacus7 not many people are old enough to understand that joke...i only get it because I'm a Vikings fan.

[@TheSnkdthmnky]

I usually watch theses while doing dishes on my phone, I didn't realized it tracked until I picked up my phone to watch another video, and had to re watch as I spun around in my kitchen.

[@VEE727]

"Doobly Doo" always makes me crack up, no matter how serious the context is.

[@theintrepid7583]

The fact that we have the tech to do this is awesome.

[@GetCraftyCrafty]

I love this 360 interactive video!!

[@sleepyfionna2188]

There is nothing more true than what you said. In science, there is always something new to learn.

[@Doomroar]

0:55 found Rick and Morty, and from this point on i knew, i was going to spend a lot of time reference hunting...

[@kratagyapurbia1187]

CORRECT

[@autisticlettuce]

YES I NEEDED THIS FOR HOMEWORK BUT NEVERMIND

[@DarnElectricalVolts]

I love all the little easter eggs floating around. It's a nice touch.

[@Citiesinmotionplayer]

I caught a raindeer or something running over the sun. Nice touch!

[@LeanC8513]

+Kim Philipp Möllgaard actually its Helios and his chariot, from the old Greek myth

[@gonzomalan]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!! THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME I WRITE IN ALL CAPS IN 18+ YEARS OF USING THE INTERNET, THAT'S HOW AMAZED I AM!!!

[@polyvinylfilmz]

I did not know it was possible to do something like this in youtube

[@joshuaosei5628]

It's been possible for quite some time actually...

[@JustThomas1]

+Polyvinyl Films Go watch some of go-pro's 360 videos ( or by the use of this shameless plug, watch a minecraft one at "Smithboysgaming minecraft server preview"

[@bethjones7755]

LSP near the asteroid belt at 3:30. 11/10 best video ever

[@WeirdNarwhal886]

So many Easter eggs in this video. I saw the TARDIS, Rick and Morty's ship, the Ship of the Imagination from Cosmos, Helios's chariot, Lumpy Space Princess, the Silver Surfer, the Planet Express ship from Futurama, multiple Star Wars ships, and someone in a spacesuit. Did I miss anything?

[@jcorbiere]

Cylinder base star? USs enterprise?

[@WeirdNarwhal886]

Good Catch.

[@fluffycritter]

+WeirdNarwhal886 Monolith near the "ceiling"

[@jcorbiere]

+fluffy nice catch

[@jcorbiere]

+Ron Hatcher yea, typo

[@sweetrevenge406]

I CAN TRULY SAY THIS WAS THE COOLEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN.

[@juliesantiago4663]

This channel has helped me a lot as a student! Got an A for my astronomy class last semester. Thank y'all so much and keep it up!

[@Sam-Public-UK]

Best 360 animation I’ve ever seen of the solar system

[@TheDraconifors]

That was SO COOL. I definitely didn't realize I could click & drag until Venus...

[@nomadfromkarlsruhe8259]

Space is so, so co-oo-oo-oo-ool. So coo-oo-oo-oo-ol. so cool!!!

[@chernozem26]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! So interactive and cool

[@Diamondadidas23]

This has got to be the coolest video I've ever seen

[@PaulSmith-pe1kh]

This is wonderful. Thank you all for the hard work put in to making this. (Psalm 19).

[@gazellelion6642]

I loved all of the characters flying by, but I especially enjoyed Silver Surfer and TARDIS because I absolutely love Doctor Who and Marvel Comics :) Thanks for adding them in!

[@emptyskullify]

Wow... I have the google cardboard and its freaking Amazing!!!! KEEP IT UP!!! :D

[@Thought-Cafe]

+emptyskullify We optimized the viewing area for CardBoard so more people could experience it or teachers could share it in class rooms. Glad you got to experience that!

[@NSxTcGaming]

This has got to be the best showing of what these types of videos hold for the future. This is awesome!!

[@DeathlyTired]

Soooo many Easter Eggs!

[@kf10147]

I love how they put the TARDIS, apollo in his chariot, and the cosmos spaceship into this. Ahhhh Thought Café

[@EugeneKhutoryansky]

At 2:53, is that the Silver Surfer?

[@AndrewBoniface09]

w/c angle?

[@haxmixon801]

+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky Don't forget the star destroyer at 2:46 near mercury.

[@danielalexander1992]

+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky it was rick and morty

[@ASurvivorofToday]

+alex vargas No? Rick and Morty show up at 0:51. That was the silver surfer.

[@zaidm4586]

+Klein Fletchers a question i thought i would never hear when watching a video

[@twoamgoodbyes]

I was excited just have Phil do another video. As soon as I saw I could move it, I ran down two sets of stairs to show my husband.

[@J3susChrist]

3:31 *Sees TARDIS* I'm happy now... :D

[@blynmac]

Same

[@supriyaraor3607]

Iknowright

[@jesusmark3872]

[@debsnightingale726]

[@bgoggin88]

echoy voice effect really made this experience work. subtle, but well done.

[@johnandan1594]

At the mars part its the TARDIS if you look at the sun

[@joshuaosei5628]

Why would you look at the sun? You'd go blind...

[@merdo_46]

No.

[@cuckoophendula8211]

+Deathcap Rabadon (Deathcap9087) There was also another part where I saw Hank (I think) in a space suit.

[@maddie9602]

There's also a teapot that floats between Earth and Mars at one point.

[@genteelsatyr]

+Deathcap Rabadon (Deathcap9087) Lumpy Space Princess sighted.

[@caitlinrj]

my inner space nerd is screaming so much rn this is the coolest video

[@seancssu]

Lol I saw a cylon base star :p this 360 interactive thing is really cool

[@itsapko6148]

I'm currently having a sick day…but I just got a tour of the solar system from my room! Awesome!

[@austinsteenwyk8254]

I love the interactive tour.

[@ghrosopher]

This is a perfect use of 360 video technology

[@AndreaDang]

Today is December 28th, 2019 and I just watched episodes 2 through 47 all in this one day.

[@warrengday]

Many congrats for pushing the boundaries of KZbin video education yet again with this interactive video. Awe inspiring.

Nice to hear you again Phil Plait!

[@UnboxTheWorldASMR]

Is this... the future of education?

[@nikolay-tsys]

I am just started to miss crash course Astronomy, and here it is! its awesome to hear Phil again:) and Thought cafe's visuals are so cool!

[@trevorbatesanimation1883]

Now THIS is a 360° video.

[@marcossalda5496]

This is the greatest thing to exist on youtube.

[@carolinarodrigues2685]

Who needs school when you have these videos ^^

[@_belgaldino]

THAT IS THE BEST THING I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE

[@mikelor84]

So far I spotted: the Planet Express space ship, Apollo, a CC astronaut, another astronaut with glasses (Phil?), a purple creature, the Tardis, Silver Surfer I assume, an imperial star destroyer, a weird space ship with two guys and an oblong thing (a satellite?) near Neptune. Any hint?

[@mikelor84]

+mikelor84 also, a cylon battleship.....................holy crap we're screwed!!! they found us!

[@ayaan5540]

A star wars star destroyer too also the two guys in the oblong spaceship are Rick and Morty

[@sliccslacc]

Thanks for including my fellow Buddy Pluto. :) Yea, he's small, but still a Planet for me

[@sarahlindner8893]

YOU GUYS SHOULD DO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!! PLEASE HELP

[@yashkhandelwal572]

It's there long ago

[@julisonsonson]

This is the first 360 degree video that I've seen that was well executed.

[@pauldeddens5349]

2:26 You can find jailbot from superjail (I think thats it)

[@kokkitto]

Thank you for this series. I just finished the whole thing. Loved every single one of the videos. It's a gift that a channel and content like this exist in the world!

[@demetriarule]

HOW DO WE NOT HAVE HOVERBOARDS YET!?!!

[@MrQuakeLoL]

this video should have a billion views.

[@puro5474]

Me:finding a moon Me: aw man no moons Me:PLUTO YASS NOT FORGOTTTEN TO BE ADDED

[@TheLastQil]

Well that's it. I've watched all 47 episodes. I actually just did my first optically assisted observations last night and seen Mars clearly through my telescope. I also observed some blue giants, and plan on observing the Orion cloud tonight. Thanks for everything Phil, this was a very good series and I enjoyed it every step of the way. Cheers and good luck to all.

[@TheLineCutter]

What kind of video type is this? Where things are pre-rendered and you can rotate the camera? Never seen this before??

[@evooff]

+TheLineCutter 360 video, been here for a long time already.

[@JimPlaysGames]

+TheLineCutter it's been possible since sometime last year but I've only seen one other video where it's done.

[@Stars-Mine]

+TheLineCutter Fort Minors recent music video used it as well, College humor has an office tour with this sort of video, there are many on youtube, it just requires a fancy camera. Very good with VR sets

[@superdau]

+TheLineCutter It's not that special. Imagine a hires video where you are zoomed into a small part. That's what you see and also why you have such poor resolution even though you have selected "HD". The only thing that's really different from a simple zoomed in video is that there is distortion added while displaying to give the effect of looking around and not just panning.

[@Dill800games]

+superdau you have no idea what you're talking about

[@leelicayan2180]

I loved that train conductor narration!!

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

So if the "p" in 1080p means "progressive scan", what does "s" stand for?

[@UrbanPanic]

+Ganaram Inukshuk Spherical. Basic purpose is for 360 videos like this.

[@Dorraj]

If you flatten the video out, it'd be in 1080p. The "s" is basically saying "in 360 video mode" but directly means "spherical". It's taking a normal 1080p video (that wouldn't look very normal at that point) and stretching it in a sphere around a point that the video allows you to "look around" in.

[@aperson22222]

So good to hear your voice again, Phil.

[@6Twisted]

Neptune is the last planet.. For now.

[@CrispySergeant]

This is literally the coolest video on KZbin.

[@o_untested]

Did anyone else have bad quality?

[@ertech6567]

3d videos generaly suck in quality.

[@karthik11512]

+HE NEED SOME MILK When watching 360 video you pretty much have to pick 4K(2160P) if you want good quality or the video will look like shit. 1080p is not really 1080p when the video is spherical. However most people's computers can't handle 4K or their internet is not fast enough, so they will have a shitty experience. Also the best way to watch these videos is on your phone.

[@VEE727]

+karthik11512 Actually what you mean to say is 1080p is not equal to 1080s so you have to use 2160s to get comparable quality to 1080p. It's because the stream is much larger in canvas area if you imagine it flattened out

[@caihui5697]

NOO actually the quality was superb but i think if you watch it on your phone or ipad,then yup the quality will suck

[@melonrue]

I love all the little references peppered into the background for the ones who were looking! Nice job on the video, it looks really cool.

[@Hermwormful]

I'll be back when i'm high

[@sandijo2010]

That's so cool. I have seen 360 degrees videos before but this is the coolest.

[@davidsweeney111]

This seems to be very biassed toward foreingners, can you do an American version please, thanks buddy!

[@squish4805]

David What do you mean? What would an American version be like?

[@jasongracesonofzeus]

You mean, it's got the right way of measuring stuff, in scientifically accurate SI units instead of an old outdated imperial system. Why do some Americans think that the world revolves around em?

[@vanhovemare]

americocentrism :-)

[@natenoru6411]

So maany easter eggs! The TARDIS, the Enterprise, Rick and Morty! Thank you for creating this amazing and wonderful video!

[@RobbieTaboo12]

I was going to kick back and watch... I didn't see things happening until I grabbed the screen and WOW!

[@camillechastang417]

You guys are more than awesome. Thank you soo much !

[@19billdong96]

Are you f*cking kidding me? This is beyond amazing, it's like my childhood wish come true.

[@kylekean8402]

This video is amazing. I never like any videos but I couldn't resist. Had to give this one a like. Love you Crash Course!

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Cool being able to make the picture move when one expects a video instead.

[@KMAaus]

That is just pure awesomeness. Thank you for making it.

[@Juejuek92]

This is so cool! And I'm just very happy Pluto made it in here :>

[@khalilc]

That was awesome. My two boys, 5 and 3 years old, absolutely loved it!

[@beepbeep1836]

Aaaahhhhhh the awesomeness is too much to handle!!!!!

[@pegeman1510]

It would be nice to have all the crash course videos like this. PLEASE!!!

[@JoeBirdwell]

This is great, I think this will my my go to google cardboard experience now.
