The Top 5 Discoveries in Astronomy OF ALL TIME - Ask a Spaceman!

I just discovered your channel and just want to say thank you for educating myself and others. My son and daughter think I am a low level genius now lol. Keep your passion. You have earned 3 fans here in Michigan.

A word of advice, Paul. If you don't want to show up on your videos anymore, that's your choice. But you could use the occasion of your visual absence to provide us with some visual illustrations of what you're explaining to us. Diagrams are wonderful for helping to sort things out in our minds. Words disappear instantly, but illustrations can stick around indefinitely for us to contemplate. You give us some mind-boggling concepts in your videos. Images and diagrams can greatly assist us in understanding them.

Thank you Paul & Kathy, I love listening to your podcasts whilst I'm driving and they are one of the highlights of my week! I love your humour, it's so entertaining - your students are very lucky!

Intersting, next question what is the great attractor?

[@kricketflyd111]

Yes you can, I did and it blows your mind with what you see. 😮

Mr. Spaceman, very nice substance and of course I have a question. How would you describe Spinoza's substance? ❤

I'd say my number one astronomy discovery would be the Jupiter moons. That points out not everything revolves around the Earth. I would put the discovery of Neptune second; it showed that science can be reliable and look to how much science contributed to our lives. I'd put the expanding universe (Hubble) third and the discovery of pulsars (Rubin & LGM) fourth. And I think I'd put the discovery of the cosmic web fifth.

The cosmos is alive! Yes.

My heros are Newton and Tesla that I believe had sight of the unseen. I think about light, fire and electricity and how they have the same geometric constants. 🎉

[@MarcusMacgregor2]

How about when Newton discovered what happened when you put Mars at the Jupiter-Sun L5 point? Does it count if he didn't tell anybody? Do you know? It's an easy calculation if you don't.

HDE226868 ( X-1) is a type O blue super giant, not a red giant.

Hell bubba, I watched a similar show on new space exploration. If there is intelligent life on other planets it would be their job to reach out to us. According to recent discovery some inhabitable planets are billions of years older than ours. We should expect those folks to touch base with us considering they have a billion year advantage. Wouldn't you agree?

[@kenneth8077]

I meant hello bubba. Not hell bubba! Lol

[@kenneth8077]

A BILLION years is not exactly an insignificant number of years to allow intelligent life to evolve. UNLESS we are earth are the most intelligent life form ever created.
