A meteor went so close to earth last year, the closest it ever got was 1,930 miles away

[@rogerwilco2]

It's not that I don't like your contributors/presenters, but I find this new style of switching between real-life-human and cartoon-drawings, that I have now seen on a few videos, to be a bit jarring. I would prefer the old style of complete cartoon-drawings with voice-over, or you should probably go the full SciShow route. In general, I prefer the pictures-with-voice-over for these kinds of topics, like RealEngineering, CaspianReport, CGPGrey, Drachinifel, Namexplain, Atlas Pro, Ben G Thomas.

5:13 Speaking of ozone, something that teachers and other educators often neglect to tell their students: O3, better known as *ozone* Ozone is the "bleach-like" odour that you can smell just before it rains. It is created by the interaction of oxygen and ultraviolet light, plus electrical discharges from a lightening storm. You may not have known what the smell was, but you've always noticed it when a thunderstorm is on the way. O3 is electrically charged oxygen (O2 plus an additional oxygen molecule)

[@wren_.]

humans are really really good at detecting ozone. We can detect it in one part per million. That’s better than sharks smelling blood in the water.
