A Tour of the Universe With Space Engine (Part 1)

Throughout the entire astronomy series, you've seen breathtaking clips of stars and planets. Believe it or not, those were not stock animations. I captured those clips manually using Space Engine, an incredible simulation of the entire known universe. The creator and owner of this powerful tool graciously allowed me to use this content royalty-free, so I thought the least I could do was make a little piece to show how amazing this thing really is!

They recently patched in VR support and it's absolutely amazing. Being able to visit Neptune, the Andromeda Galaxy, the very fringe of the universe and everything in between, in VR, in the comfort of your home. It's just mind-blowing.

[@KrizaIid117]

I shat my pants.

[@UNIRockLIVE]

I love space engine. Such a great simulator. Great video dave

[@dishandias4202]

me too

[@CepheusCosmos]

Would prefer if you actually talked over these clips like explaining the different objects

[@dan_]

Yeah, agreed. It would be nice if this could be an educational series using Space Engine to help visualise concepts and distances that people usually can't grasp in their minds alone.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Guys, that's what I did for the entire astronomy playlist. I used this program to capture footage of the objects I was talking about, and showed the footage while explaining things. I wanted to do something at the end of the series to just show the beauty of the program in isolation.

[@dan_]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains Sounds perfect, I'll go find it! I'm new to the channel, found you via the Globebusters debunking stuff not long ago.

[@timothyamaraobrien]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains No, please! Let the images and music speak for themselves! I can't believe people don't want to just experience them as they are.

[@sixrings5529]

​@@ProfessorDaveExplains fr the beginning is legit iconic, that scene popped up like 8 times throughout the series lmao.

[@timothyamaraobrien]

Brilliant! Meditative... captures the wonders of our universe and especially our own solar system beautifully. Having just the images and the music is wonderful.

[@dum_tard5528]

space engine is one of my favorite games, well it's more of a program but it's absolutely AMAZING

[@Richardj410]

Thanks for showing me this program. Going to download it and have fun. Keep up the good work.

[@irenicc_aesthete5349]

I love SPACE!

[@kyjo72682]

0:55 The sizes and distances of those moons seem inaccurate.. Is the size exaggerated on purpose?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

as far as i know everything is supposed to be accurate and to scale in every way so it should be correct. perhaps perspective is playing a part here. also given that i didn't specify the object in the notes i actually don't recall if that's Saturn or not, it does look like Saturn but it could be an exoplanet

[@kyjo72682]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains Ah, I see. It's probably some exoplanet then. I think Saturn's moons would be comparatively much smaller.. at least that's how they are displayed by the Celestia engine.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-XaYWpjZmLbqs

[@anuragtiwari2270]

Sir is it the end of your astronomy tutorial??

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Yep! At least for now.

[@anuragtiwari2270]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains miss u sir.. Your astronomy tutorial was very interesting

[@jacksonsneed7689]

Very cool, however the music gave me the feeling like something was gonna jump out and get me!! Still great though!! 👍😀🐧🎶

[@swayanjeebpradhan3977]

Hey dude.. Since when did you start explaining space things?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Since I started releasing astronomy tutorials like 9 months ago!

[@swayanjeebpradhan3977]

Ohh nice

[@tazdianbrewhaha1402]

That's amazing! Great demo I'm going to check this out for sure! Thanks for the info! P.S. Superhero n Science mini series?

[@rickyoswald]

Was expecting a pan down to a train and Midgar

[@reynardmoses]

I hope in the future, mankind can make live situation that connects real universe with a 3d simulation program, death of star, galaxies colliding with each other, universe expansion, all live connected to a 3d simulation program real time. Don't bother, just my wishful thinking

[@michaelpisciarino5348]

Even if I’m big, I’m still small

[@markedwards5289]

Nice program loved the visuals

[@epicwyvern8713]

wow i didnt know you had space engine! was wondering if you could send me your settings for the engine

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

no specific settings i just use it!

[@kamleshpatil7561]

Something problem to send a mail , do u have alternative mail??!

[@europebasedvlogs1251]

Send me the thing

[@virginiaperez8584]

Out of this world 🌎 !

[@tazdianbrewhaha1402]

Good chance we're all living inside a much more advanced version of this program

[@kyjo72682]

why?

[@anytoons4492]

Ask yourself.

[@anytoons4492]

Much more advanced but still this game is good.

[@orvishana1210]

Saturn sounds like a pod of whales, kinda freaky

[@stretchmusicuk5826]

Love space engine, it really is (pardon the pun) out of this world. Liked and subbed. I have a question for you, I will email you

[@azrieljale]

1:30 Excuse me, wha kind of demonic-ass planet is this xD

[@user-pk9qo1gd6r]

It's a wind pattern that's expected to occur on tidally locked planets.

[@tyrannic9113]

I come here now because real school's closed

[@Unfamiliarmanic]

[@vizirira3826]

You think this is real??????? So you belive in fable - great!

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

This a computer simulation, genius.
