Ceres is in our Asteroid Belt, and is sometimes referred to as a "Planetoid". Callisto is one of Jupiter's moons, the second largest (after Ganymede) in Jupiter's orbit, and the third largest overall in the Solar System. Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is the largest moon in our system. Kepler 22b is an "exoplanet", a planet we've discovered outside of our solar system. And Proxima Centauri is a small star just over 4 light years away from our sun.

[@joselombana8381]

Ganymede is 2% larger than Titan.

[@uzurpon]

Alpha Centauri is a trippel star system and its the closest system to us at 4.2 lightyears. Proxima Centauri is the smallest of the 3 stars in that system and it revolves around Alpha Centauri that is the main star there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri

[@jaakumitsukai8682]

I've probably said this before but the Bootes Void is equal parts fascinating and terrifying the more you read into it. The most perplexing thing is that it only contains 60 galaxies in a space that would usually roughly have 2000 and we don't know why, the leading theory is that lots of other smaller voids joined together to create this supervoid. It's so big that if The Milky Way was in the center of it we wouldn't have known there were other galaxies until the 1960's. Definitely recommend looking up a video on it.

[@DsgSleazy]

The fact that people can figure this shit out is still fuckin wild to me, like how.

[@kamron_thurmond]

​@@DsgSleazy To be fair it's all just mathematical guesstimations.

[@HkFinn83]

Space is made up of regions of greater and lesser density. There’s nothing inexplicable about the Bootes (or any other) ‘void’. It’s just used by woo woo science content creators because...woo woo.

[@mina_en_suiza]

It's the grazing ground for a galaxy eating super-organism made out of Dark Matter.

[@BennoWitter]

What makes 2 of those giant stars the most interesting to me, is that I can go outside and actually see them with my own eyes. Rigel (the big blue star) and Betelgeuse (the big orange star) are both part of the Orion constellation and easy to spot. Betelgeuse in on top and Rigel at the bottom. If you have a clear view you can actually see that Rigel has more of a blue tint and Betelgeuse is definitely more orange.

[@paiute6911]

I would love a second channel where you talk about books! You could also talk about food, movies, music, or really anything you want. That would be badass.

2:29 made me smile and laugh a little, in a good way! I’m a Brit and I’ve never heard an American say daft before, quite a common word here but not something we tend to hear on American TV shows and the like, something we watch a lot of. I enjoy this channel for the well rounded, well spoken and very educated perspective you bring to just about anything, nice work! 😊

[@just_gut]

What I love about watching videos on the universe, especially how massive it is, is how we, as individuals, can mean more to each other than all of *that*. I can be a more powerful force in the lives of my loved ones than nearly the totality of the rest of the universe. It feels pretty awesome.

[@KURUZU43]

This video demonstrates size comparisons of various celestial objects that astronomers have observed in the cosmos at large. It's actually not to scale to be honest but it does give you a sense of the enormity of space. Our star (the sun) which is massive is still just a yellow dwarf main sequence star.

I have been a subscriber of your channel for a while now. It has been fun watching your channel grow each time I watch a new video. In no time you will have 100k followers. Looking forward to that day. Please keep up the great work.

[@1fortheroad1]

PLEASE DO MORE space videos. I would love to see you uncover so many of the universes hidden gems. I could see you going down the rabbit hole. There's so many interesting things to learn about space. Video suggestion: Any of "Lemino"'s space videos. High quality, articulate and well researched

[@rickbarrett178]

So I watched several of you're reaction vids tonite and I cant decide whether you're more thoughtful or more beautiful. But I know you've got a lot of both!

[@theobserver86]

I've seen these videos so I know how astronomical the sizes get is mind blowing even unfathomable it makes the reaction exciting

[@playit152]

Just gonna say you have the best react channel on youtube imo. Was gonna tell you about Ceres, Proxima Centauri etc. but it looks like the comments already took care of that. Side note though you could watch (or read) "The Expanse". Great show that fictionally depicts human settlement on Mars, Ceres and other asteroids and the effect it'll have on humans and the politics around it all along with a lot more. Also another show you could be interested in is "Raised By Wolves". This one has a lot more religious (fictional) undertone to it but it depicts human settlement in Kepler 22b. Both are great shows in my opinion and for different reasons.

[@ronitraj39]

I would highly recommend Melodysheep videos. They are entertaining, informative and existential. The quality of the videos is second to none.

[@charlesf2804]

I identify with your comment about how humbling it was to watch this. This is the sort of thing that gives perspective, reminding us of how small ours can be. "Existential" indeed. After watching this and then thinking about the vastness of the universe (and this is only what we know of), and how much of it there must be beyond what we know of, three things came to me: Star Trek, awe, and worship. I used to be into this kind of stuff when i was a kid, and seeing this arouses some of the curiosity and fascination I had back then. If I can find/make time to read, I would be interested in getting into astronomy again. Or, I think The Great Courses has an astronomy course or two; I might start there.

[@paiute6911]

I have a literary recommendation(A good place to start): Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History Of Time, and The Universe In A Nutshell. Recently Barnes and Noble put out an edition with a ton of illustrations so it makes the abstract concept brought up in the book a little easier to digest.

[@MeFreeBee]

There is a new Stephen Hawking book about to be published - On the Origin of Time. Just read a piece in today's Guardian where his collaborator, Thomas Hertog, says Hawking was dissatisfied with A Brief History and wanted a do-over. Sadly it couldn't be finished before he died.

One thing to remember is that light year is the distance that light travels in a year. One thing I recommend watching is the series Cosmos. It gives a good summary of key points and history of science. The newer one with Neal DeGrass Tyson notes scientists that most people don't know about but which made key contributions.

[@laurelbettner6919]

What is interesting to think about is that a year on earth hasn't been the same since our solar system began and so if you wanted to be technical you could find the average of our planet's shortest revolution compared to its current and you would wind up with a light year several magnitude shorter in overall miles.

[@Mukk13man]

Astronomy has always fascinated me, just thinking about the vastness and what has never been discovered boggles the mind. I certainly missed my calling.

[@KeldonA]

Sometimes I'll gaze up at the night sky observing the endless sea of distant galaxies and feel a little peeved off by the sense I'm staring in the direction of intelligent lives, some of which will be having the exact same thought but we'll never be able to communicate or even confirm the existence if each other.

[@thewhat6219]

I like the look of the Cat's Eye nebula! Nature can be just beautiful on any scale, I figure. I don't know any real non-fiction, space-focused book, but I would suggest the Hitchhiker's Guide series to anyone who would hear it.

Hey NoProtocol, I know that I have already requested the Holyfield doc. But after rewatching your last video (1 in a million moments in sports history), I recalled that some time ago I made my own version of that. It is called "1000 Subscribers Special". It is a video where I compiled all of my favorite clips from my favorite sports, and combined them with the most fitting music I could find. It took me over 8 months to finish that video, mostly because I kept adding new and better clips. That video epitomizes my greatest interests. I would be thrilled to see you react to it. I know you may be busy, if that's the case then I'd be thankful if you added it to your requests list. Sorry if you see this for the 2nd time, I just thought you haven't noticed this one before. Have a great day !

Ceres is a dwarf planet that does exist in our solar system but is too small to be considered a planet, Kepler 22b isn't part of our solar system but a earthlike planet about 600 lightyears from our solar system. Proxima centauri is the closest star to our own and Sirius A is the brightest star in the night sky. The rest of these objects, that probably goes without saying, are not part of our solar system either.

I think it was CGP Grey who had a really cool video explaining how due to the differing orbits of the planets in our Solar System, Mercury is the closest planet to Earth for the most amount of time during a year, and not just to Earth but to every other planet in our System. Makes me think it must surely have been named Mercury on purpose after the God of Messaging/Travelling/Communication

You mentioned existentialist stuff. Thoughts, dread, etc. If you want to go a little bit mad (assuming you aren't already familiar) there's always the Many Worlds Hypothesis (Everett Interpretation), the whole idea that the reality we're living in now is only one of countless realities and universes in an infinite cosmos. Brian Greene is the guy you want to look for (again, if you haven't already). He explains a lot of this stuff - alternate universes, time travel, all that sort of thing. That's one existentialist rabbit hole you might never come out of.

[@kv2315]

like you said, its so humbling to sees something like this even when we see it i think noone can really comprehend the sheer size of the universe.

[@JabberCT]

Ceres is a dwarf planet in our solar system. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun. They called it Alpha Centauri, but when they zoomed in, it was actually 3 stars. So Alpha Centauri now refers to the 3 star system. Kepler 22b is a planet found around another star. They've discovered many of these recently. They think almost every star has multiple planets around them just like our sun. Space is awesome lol.

What is really crazy is that the sheer scale of the universe compared to us is equaled by the sheer scale of us compared to sub-atomic particles. You could legitimately play the whole video back zooming in instead of out just as far - and at the end you'd just have a planck unit of solid blackness filling the screen with zero information.

[@MagsonDare]

The 4 objects known as Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, and Hygeia were at one point taught as planets when they were newly discovered, but as more planets were found farther out and since they all kinda sorta shared an orbital distance, they got "demoted" to a newly created category of space object called "asteroids" (meaning "star-like" becuz they were so small they appeared as a point of light in an image, just like a star, but.. not a star). Ceres has since been "promoted" to the "dwarf planet" category along with Pluto, Sedna, Eris, Makemake, and so on. Callisto is one of the 4 "Galilean Moons" of Jupiter, along with Ganymede, Europa, and Io. Kepler 22b is an exo-planets, only recently discovered, so it likely isn't really taught in schools at all. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is so dim that it isn't actually visible to the naked eye. Despite that, it is currently the closest star to our solar system at a distance of 4.24 light years. It orbits the binary star pair that we call Alpha Centauri (making the whole thing a trinary system, obviously), which is a shade farther out at about 4.396 LY. Sirius is also called "the dog star" because it's in the "Canis Major" (Big Dog) constellation in the southern hemisphere. It is the brightest star in the sky (ignoring the Sun, obvs ;-) ). Vega is the brightest star in the constellation of Libra. Arcturus is the brightest northern hemisphere star and has served mankind as a navigational beacon for milennia. it's in the constellation of Bootes, which also has the Bootes Void in that part of the sky too. Rigel and Betelgeuse are both in the constellation of Orion, on opposite corners. And yes, the Orion Nebula sits within this constellation also, but just below Orion's belt. The other red supergiants featured are dimmer and not really well known, but tend to be included in videos like this due to their sheer size.

[@Robo34]

i remember that our Geography teacher told us the news, that now (~2007) we have one more planet in our solar system, which was recently discovered.

[@quixote6942]

The Ones that show the "Textures" are planets in our Solar System (Because they're reflecting the Sun's light). The Planets that are "on Fire" are Stars outside our System (we see them because they're Creating their own light (and, as you see) are MUCH Bigger than our Sun. Astronomy is a fun hobby! GREAT Reaction! They have several KZbin videos that show "Our Visible Universe" and all the Planets within... Mind Boggling! Are we alone? You have to question that after watching them!

[@mikewilliams1782]

Definitely “new interest unlocked”!

[@kyzer422]

I'm a huge astronomy nerd, so I'll try to answer all of your questions here. :) 2:02 Ceres is a dwarf planet, like Pluto, but there are so many dwarf planets that have been discovered in the last few decades that they usually aren't all taught. Callisto is a moon of Jupiter; there might be more moons than dwarf planets in our solar system. Kepler 22b is an exoplanet, meaning it's a planet in another solar system. And Proxima Centauri is another star altogether, so not part of our solar system either (though it is the closest star to our Sun, and is part of the triple-star system of Alpha Centauri). 3:04 Not a question, but I can't help pointing out that the Sun is white, not yellow. We only think of it as yellow because it looks that way when viewed during dawn/dusk (when the sunlight passes through more atmosphere and has more blue light filtered out). 3:50 All the stars with "proper names" (Rigel, Arcturus, Betelgeuse, etc.) can be seen with the naked eye at night - if you know where to look. 4:18 Yup, that's a black hole. Specifically, a *supermassive* black hole at the centre of another galaxy. And TON 618 is the largest black hole known.

Voyager I was launched over 45 years ago, was further than Pluto's orbit over 30 years ago, and is currently the most distant human-made object. NASA estimates that Voyager will be finally out of our solar system in 15,000 to 28,000 years (we're still not sure how far out the Oort cloud extends so the estimates vary greatly). And this is one of the hundreds of billions of solar systems in our galaxy alone. The vastness of our universe is absolutely mindblowing once you start looking at what little we know of it.

[@BillTheScribe]

-The Kepler project examined a small area of the sky and looked at a small area of the sky and looked for any stars that appeared to either dip in brightness or wobble in ways that implies there was a planet going around them. It found hundreds. They are If you see a name like Kepler 22 b, it means that is was the "b" or second planet from the star. -Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us (other than the sun). It's a red dwarf about 4 light years away, and part of the Alpha Centauri group of stars. -Sirius is the brightest star in our sky, it's also very close. -Arcturus is a red giant. If you go out in the supper and look more or less straight up (from the mid-northern hemisphere) just after sunset, it will be one of the first stars you see. It's visibly orange which cuts through the blue sky well. -The Cats' Eye and Helix Nebulae are planetary nebulae and are what results from a dying star blowing off it's outer layers. -The Orion Nebula is a star factory where new stars are being made. If you can see Orion's Belt (typically a winter thing), there are three stars that make up the sword hanging from it. This nebula is the middle star in the sword. -Omega Centauri is a globular cluster visible form the Southern Hemisphere and low parts of the Northern. Globular clusters are huge, densely packed balls of stars that date back to the start of the galaxy. The Milky way has hundreds of them. One of the easiest to see in the North is M13 in Hercules. It's a summer object, and you'll need Binoculars, but it's easy to find.

The nebula they were showing are where large clouds of gas and dust are illuminated by dead stars that sent shockwaves outwards as they died. Usually leaving behind a white dwarf the is white hot but very small. Also illuminated by new stars that formed from the resulting waves travelling through the dust. Those new stars are seeded with heavier elements than can form during a normal nuclear fusion in a star, such as uranium. The orion nebula is visible from most places once you find the constellation Orion. It is beautiful with a telescope. Hubble formed a 3D image of it during it's long observations of it.

I would imagine it's high time for people who teach kids Astronomy to start including a lot more than the 8 planets of the Solar System. Our knowledge is much greater than it was around 25-30 years ago. It's a great time to be an astronomer.

5:53 yep. the first time I saw one of your vids ;)

nebulae are cool; the Orion nebula can be seen just with bird watching type binoculars (8x40, 7x50, 10x50, etc). you might find a video of "the messier objects" interesting, named after 1700s comet hunter Charles Messier, who was the first to make a list of DSOs (galaxies, nebula, and star clusters) so people would stop reporting them as comets ... the messier objects became a common starting point for amateur astronomers since most of the easiest to find are on it (I've found all 110 messier objects with binoculars/telescopes, it's a fun adventure)

Ceres and Calysto are either moons or dwarf planets in our solar system (can't remember), Kepler 22b is a "super Earth" in another solar system. Proxima Centauri is our closest star (and this is 1 of two stars, as it's a binary system?).

[@thehoogard]

Cereis is a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. Callista one of the four galileon moons of jupiter. Proxima Centauri is one of three stars in the Alpha Centauri system. The A and B stars dominate that system though.

[@rift8966]

@@thehoogard Thanks for the clarification. 😁

jyotish books of india is oldest astronomy space book, see lal kitab book, parashara hora, bhrighu samitha book about 5000 + year old .

[@jerrykinworthy9225]

Yea I love everything space and universe related but as soon as I start watching something about it I have an existential crisis followed by a mid-life crisis and I'm not even middle aged, it's a pre-midlife crisis lol. Because you realize how just how brief you are.

This video should be titled 'Satellite, Planet, Star and Galaxy Size Comparison'. It does not compare our universe with another universe.

[@jamesstewart9523]

"New Interest Unlocked" Sounds like a reference to Unreal Tournament 2004 (video game) 🤣🤣🤣

[@mina_en_suiza]

Have you ever watched the "Metric Paper" video, which is not really about paper but a voyage from our scale to the smallest and then to the biggest things, there are? I love it and so do my kids.

[@xXxXx-----xXxXx]

You have to react to " How the universe is way bigger than you think" for full astronomy / existential mind blow

[@JaredTVW]

I remember Callisto being one of the several moons that orbit Jupiter. I played this Space game in middle school and many moons had those names like “Kepler 22” and some had names that also came from mythology, like Callisto.

[@davidcopson5800]

Kepler 22b is a planet.

[@dougj7295]

Did you say Beetle Juice. As a kid, Pluto was always the most interesting planet because it was the furthest & we knew so little about it - now they have just kicked it to the curb.

[@Scumdrops420]

Enter the Void is a crazy movie.

[@KurNorock]

Keppler 22b is a planet from another solar system. And while you were in school, it probably wasn't discovered yet. Calisto is one of the many moons of Jupiter. Proxima Centari is the closest star to the sun. Lastly, the numbers given are the diameter of the objects. So if one object has twice the diameter of another, it isn't twice as large, it is actually 8 times larger by volume. But since different objects have different densities, the actual masses can vary wildly. For example, Jupiter only looks a little bit larger than Saturn, but it is 3x the mass.

[@astrictus7123]

a show that plays around with some of these names is "the expanse" if interested

[@user-uc8kr1pl6b]

Approximate light year calculation: Speed of light =186,000 miles per second. Seconds in a year = 31,536,000 186000 x 31536000 = 5,865,696,000,000 miles = approximately one light year.

[@rg20322]

To say that earth is insignificant compared is an understatement. There are so many planets, universes, out there that we just don't know about so there has to be life elsewhere other than earth. And this is the observable universe so what is beyond? Borgs? :)

[@mandingo9999998]

What just as crazy as size, is the time delay. A star a hundred light years away, your seeing it as it was 100 years ago. Even our own sun, it takes 8 minutes for light to get to earth. When you look up, your seeing the past, not the present.
