I Don't see how it's humanly possible to watch this program & take in the information without feeling incomparably tiny. The telescopes that are world has been launching over the last 15 or 20 years are simply and truly amazing and it just gets better every day. I was watching the show and marveling at the fact that they could zoom in and the resolution was mapping time as we zoomed in unbelievable remarkable astounding I don't know any other adjectives that could really describe this thank you

I can see how some people could watch this, and immediately drop any pretense of morality. Like, “what does it matter what I do? I’m a tiny, short lived being on a tiny, nondescript clump of dirt and water. Floating around in a void too big to imagine and completely irrelevant”. It’s scary because it’s true. Logic that is hard to argue with.

When my brother and myself were young, my father bought an old (but powerful) telescope - and we began to peer into the mysteries of the night sky - beyond the light pollution of Montreal. I can distinctly remember the wonder I felt, observing Saturn for the first time. I can imagine my father smiling, as I write these words.

yes his voice makes his videos a nice go to bed story where he fills the mind of the listener with beautiful pictures and size and distance measurments of beatiful things in the cosmos. ( me myself fall asleep 70/30 with war documentaries and space documentaries ) or stories of ancient kings and queens. I am alone and feels nice to have a voice talking to me while going to sleep. And in the long run I learn a heck of a lot.

To the best of our knowledge, all heroes wear capes. However, we recognize that many heroes may or may not wear capes. Also, some villains wear capes. I suppose the point is, do not judge anyone wearing a cape simply by the fact that they are or are not wearing a cape. A cape is not an accurate measure of heroic intent. But David Butler is totes a hero.

It’s nice to hear a real human voice talking about these things. Don’t get me wrong, I admire all the other videos put out on this subject. I watch a lot of them and am even subscribed to their channels for the informative content. I know and understand the YT hustle. However, it’s nice to hear someone talk about it with their own voice, conveying real emotions, and actually hearing the tone of the voice change along with showing real images instead of something computer generated (which are amazing, by the way, but real space is way more intriguing than fake space). Keeps me more focused, like I’m front row in a class with a test tomorrow. Thanks for the informative videos! Just found your channel. I have a lot to go through and watch. 17:45 - so breathtakingly beautiful.

I’ve been binge watching David Butler’s videos since the images from JWST were released. How amazing and numinous is our cosmos!!! Even within our local cluster are billions and billions and billions of stars; all with countless planets surround almost each and every star. How many of those have life? And life that are technologically evolved like ours?!? We I’ll never know! And how amazing is that we we live in a time where we can send up satellites like Hubble, Chandra, Gaia, and now JWST!! And how fortunate we are to talented people like David to make these videos? They are simply the best, most authentic videos on KZbin.

It’s unfortunate that this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. You do an excellent job overall, between the information you convey, to the calming, relaxing music, and your voice. Carl Sagan would be pleased. Not all of the brightest astronomers and astrophysicists are able to communicate what they know to an audience of lay persons in a way that we can understand. You have that gift. It’s just sad that we have so much light pollution that it’s difficult, even with a good telescope, (a local university has one just a short drive away, but even it is difficult to view, due to the local light pollution) to see anything close to the detail shown here. Thank you for the care, effort, and attention to detail you have put into your videos.

John Cronin ,🤔🤔Now You Have Me Wondering Why They Built an Observatory In a Heavily Light Polluted Area
@johncronin9540
@johncronin9540 4 жыл бұрын
PafMedic I live in Massachusetts. Light pollution is a problem almost everywhere in the eastern part of the state. The observatory was part of an upgrade of a local college to a university, and the observatory is atop a whole new science building. That’s a problem also, because anyone walking in lower floors of the building causes vibrations which affect the quality of the viewing. This isn’t just a problem with this university. Light pollution is a problem around the globe. Just viewing through the atmosphere is difficult, not just because of the twinkling, caused by the atmosphere, but because our atmosphere blocks many parts of the EM spectrum from reaching the surface. This is good for life on Earth, but tough for observers. I think the next step is an observatory on the far side of the Moon. That solves the light pollution problem, and we could build instruments that can explore across the entire EM spectrum. And “night” lasts two entire weeks. But this telescope is good for an introduction to astronomy, and it’s open to the public one night a week (though not now, during the pandemic).

At the beginning when he said "persian astronomers..." it brake my heart as a ex-muslim Iranian its hard to think back then we ware looking up to skies to solve the biggest questions for humanity but now we are chanting death to other nations. i have so much shame for this. every day I'm trying to distance myself from what my county became its a sad feeling knowing what potentials we lost. I want to thank you for your marvellous work. I hope some day we look at skies again. At the end knowledge and logic will cary us to the stars not the religious books.

Two years ago, I couldn't even tell you the name of another galaxy other than the Milky Way.... or the name of a star other than our sun..... Then by sheer boredom, I watched a video on UY-Scuti, which until recently was the largest know star in our universe. The size of that star, in which billions of our suns could fit into, absolutely blew my mind!! Now two years later my wife calls me a space nerd, and I've watched hundreds of videos on our universe, Mr. Butler, your videos are some of the most informative and beautifully illustrated that I've enjoyed yet! I vote that the next biggest star we discover be aptly named "The David Butler Star".
