Our Closest Star

And now to zone out and sleep while learning a thing or two from someone who teaches what they're talking about. Thank you, professor

[@Radar23]

excellent.. I only discovered these recently and then all the remakes come out.. I'm overloaded with space.. amazing

[@MitchKarajohn]

I love your enthusiasm and the way you communicate the subject

3:17:24 That was Paula Abdul :) Another appropriate song for your channel would be neutron dance by the pointer sisters (I was reminded when you mentioned fusion dance).

Love your teaching videos!! Great job on the remakes!

[@JasonKendallAstronomer]

Thanks so much!

Every now and then I fall asleep to watching youtube videos--typically 'pop' videos about math or physics/cosmology. More and more often I'm waking up to these series of videos. They don't have the 'asmr' of the finely-produced "NOVA" docs, but damn they're good! Perhaps the most packed AND accessible videos on the subject. . .where even someone who isn't doing advanced studies can pick up ADVANCED information. Thanks so much for these!

[@JasonKendallAstronomer]

Why thank you for the compliment!

Stellar job

[@anotherplatypus]

It's so fun... after studying your videos I can watch other KZbinrs so much better... you should call out people like ParalaxNick and other people you want to migrate us towards

[@ricktcraig]

Hello! You keep mentioning gases in the suns atmosphere. Are they gases or is it all plasma? Thanks!

I find it very interesting that the _only_ people who seem to have a gripe with the whole Pluto thing are Americans . . . get over it . . . you're not special.
