I've been having trouble with my mic's audio gain, and had to turn it down to avoid hum. As such it became impossible to modulate the background music so that it was softer than the voiceover. So I'm abandoning background music for now until I can acquire better hardware and software.
Music ups the artsy quality of your videos, but with or without it, I thoroughly enjoy them. Don't worry about it, most people, myself among them, are here to learn something, not speculate about the music. :)
I too hope you abandon the distraction of background music. Music is so subjective, what sounds emotive and appropriate to one ear may sound like an annoying racket to another. Many thanks for the excellent upload.
"...not as hearty a meal as I usually offer", "...there isn't much information on this topic". What are you, kidding me? What you did was give us the audience information that doesn't exist anywhere else in such a coherent manner. Every video doesn't have to be about how much you feel you have to pack in there. The level of quality here is insane.
I'm just commenting on these older videos to hopefully give them a boost in the almighty algorithm. I want everyone to find parallaxnick like I did a few years ago. Such a talent and treasure in the vast wasteland of RUclips. Thanks for all your hard work over the years in making these informative treats for us to devour again and again. You'll never know how much you are appreciated. Once again, thanks.
ESA and NASA have to team up to create a Cassini style mission for Uranus and then another for Neptune. There have to be a lot of new moons awaiting discovery. Ring dynamics could be as diverse between planets as we ever imagined.
I think that portrait of Herschel is amazing. May be one of the best ive ever seen of anyone. I fail to see how a photograph could improve much on that
Your presentations are wonderful. I wish you would flesh out your RUclips's "about" page for those, like me, who don't have the patience for Facebook or Twitter nonsense.
I've seen Uranus and Neptune a number of times through a large telescope. I have been able to see the moons Oberon, Titania and Triton, which are 14th magnitude pips of light, but never did I see anything else of Uranus and Neptune other than an turquoise or ice blue tiny disk even at 300X and above. I find it hard to imagine how anyone could ever seen a ring around Neptune made of dark material so close to the planet with a modern telescope visually, let alone the inferior telescopes available to astronomers 150 years ago. While the means for production of high quality mirrors was at hand, the eyepieces available at the time were really bad compared to what is available now. Eyepieces that actually provide views free of severe aberrations such as the Kellner, Orthoscopic and Plossl were invented in the mid to late 19th century. That these astronomers were able to learn what they did from visual observations alone is a testament to their skill and tenacity as astronomers and scientists.
What they don’t feel you is the fact Uranus is further from earth than Neptune. Also their knowledge is not based on earth astronomy but Kabbalist out of the body experience. Whatever they “find new” was already written knowledge from the days before the flood.
It is improbable that moons big enough to be round collide. If they have enough mass when they approach the inner moon pulls the outer to a lower obit making it (by Kepler's laws) go faster, and conversely the inner moon is pulled out making it go slower. When two big enough moons approach too much they paradoxically are pulled apart because of Kepler laws.
Darren Yorke hahaha thank you for the awesome reply, I usually only receive internet abuse for jokes so your comment made my day x love Nicks channel btw
@@parallaxnick637That's what started my love of astronomy, seeing it hanging surreal in the sky as an eleven year old boy. My dad bought me my first scope after that.
@@parallaxnick637 It's funny, it's one of the most transformative memories of my life but I don't trust my recollection to say whether it was night or day (I think it was day, late autumn evening) or an observation on one day or several. I remember it was South South West maybe 30 degrees altitude with an Easterly coma maybe half a degree in size. I think I saw it more than once, over the course of maybe a week. I was in Northampton, England.
Wow! What a great video! I had no idea there was so much to know about Neptune, and so much mystery remaining. 1.5% albedo?!?! Could it be that we have a bit of dark matter right inside the solar system?
@@parallaxnick637 Thanks; I guess you meant it doesn't reflect light at all. But I've been googling for the lowest albedo materials, and even charcoal has 4% albedo. The only material I find that ranges as far down as 1% is black velvet. I bet the figure for charcoal is for chunks of it; and in a fine power it is lower; but it seems to me that we need to assume the rings to be made of soot of some kind. Regarding dark matter, do we really know that much about its optical characteristics? As far as I know we are not yet clear what it is made of. We only know it has to be there, and that it's HARD to see; not necessarily that it is invisible.
1:00 I love your content, so I really hate to be the one to tell you this, but William Herschel passed away in 1822. It's possible that the person claiming to be William Herschel may not be lying about his name, he is certainly not the same William Herschel you are talking about. That said, if he *WAS* still alive somehow, I'm betting he would enjoy your channel as much as I do, which is quite a lot. I bet he would even be willing to give an interview. I sometimes like to think about what these "elder scientists" would think of our modern era. There are many things about our culture that would horrify them, but I think they would like some of our modern discoveries. Can you imagine what Galileo would say if we told him that the "moon of Jupiter" he once erased was actually an unseen planet. Or what Einstein would think of the Hobble super deep field images, especially when he saw the "Einstein rings". I get what you really meant by "Frequent visitor". But it sounded so much like you think he sees your content, I couldn't resist. But I did mean it when I said I thought William would enjoy tour content. Keep making great content.
at time 8:13 see four discs on Uranus this is one disk outer ones including it; in my screan Uranus is 9cms. and the outer ring is 18 cms long which matches like gravity where the 4 rocky ones are round 26 and the outers are round 52 M/S Squered - the universe is metric and uses bases of six on time. Exemple of it 149.6 kms per seconds to come solar light to earth . 149.6 times 210 = 31416, where 210 is common denominator 0f suns cicle 0r solar day well it is actualy 22 years this so because our Sun beats at little higher at 432 Khz were 430 its the meddle standard - The 4 rings belong crose sectional to the eaner planets, yes rocky ones - they belong one rocky to one gasseus in order of the slowest with the fastes: Mercury belongs to neptune Mercury is white and Neptune is black they are the very neutal ones the other next pair maneges the energy absorbtion and distribution to all,, they are counter part of white and black - Uranus moons are too deam for beang Venus pair it tekes the juce of uranus.
oh and you are safe to assume I'm as tight with clicks as I am with cash so if I'm only gonna click one - I don't know about two...what two clicks together!? are you crazy?! - which one?
If this is the eighth episode, then, where's the link for the other seven episodes?! And are all eight episodes about the rings of Uranus and Neptune & nothing else? Seems disjointed & not very well thought out.
Besides the "bad sound system" of which you spoke, ... Every word individually is SO WORTH WAITING FOR, I routinely forgot the most recent word by the time the next one arrived!!! I tried to help myself by speeding up to 1.5 times normal, but then I was confronted with the various almost silent words punctuated with an occasional loud word, realizing I had missed an entire sentence lost in the vast void used for emphasis to keep the unscientific listeners in the audience attentive. This scientific data could be better explained in a scientific manner by a Mongolian monk sworn to silence. Such a Warm and Fuzzy scientific explanation "Without using a single scientific term in the entire rendition" Sorry, it might seem like I'm less than appreciative than I am, but I have nothing worthwhile to do with my Sunday afternoon than rag on your video. Best Regards. Surely hope you have some other career lined up other than this one. Because I'm pretty sure, "You're out of business" Just pull the covers up over your head and go to sleep for a week or two. Maybe Mommy will bring you a warm chicken noodle soup! Or maybe things will be better if they just embalm you right where you lay. RIP. Just noticed your most viewed videos, (like 10 times the others) seem to have the word "ocean" in the title.
Julien Guieu 1 hour ago Highlighted reply, "Your username says it all." Wow, You really don't have much to say? (It's good that you recognize that!) My username WAS CAREFULLY selected, as you know, any messages or negative comments sent to me, go right into the shit-can without reading. Just pure TRASH. My comments, however are assessments, stand with power and authority on their own merits, regardless of the source. People of intelligence, value smart comments, recognize value, and they thereby benefit. Those who are smart, and think for themselves, don't need to be told what to do or think, they simply glean by observation, and independent thought. Your comment is like water on a duck's back, Have a nice day anyway. :-) ;-) :-)
I've heard patreon is good for better hardware and software. I mean don't quote me and definitely don't ask me cos I'm skint but if these videos aren't worth sponsoring set yourself up a proper channel with cats in jars or Russian drivers or how people can get rich making youtube videos. I mean all this space stuff is very worthy but it's embarrassing listening to your videography excuses - go to a professionally produced channel like (...err uhm..) top ten teens watching teens still watching youtube like their granddads did in the war. or something.

Thank you! I much prefer it without music. The content of your videos stands on its own, there is no need to distract with music.
"...not as hearty a meal as I usually offer", "...there isn't much information on this topic".

Ohhhhhh yeah booooy. Anyone else want popcorn? I'm contractually obligated to watch Parallax uploads.
I'd accompany ya, mate🍻
nice contract!
Just started can already say class A upload your work is amazing
Criminally underrated channel.
ESA and NASA have to team up to create a Cassini style mission for Uranus and then another for Neptune. There have to be a lot of new moons awaiting discovery. Ring dynamics could be as diverse between planets as we ever imagined.
Great content as always, Nick.
Wow so glad I found this channel!. Your voice is audible chocolate and the topics are fascinating.
Subbed because your content and production is just great and you go into real depth of one of my favourite subjects. Bravo.
Really interesting stuff, cheers
More than an appetiser & full of Parallax goodness. Thanx so much, luv your vids.
Exceptional... As expected. 🍻😊
Whoever you are, thank you so much for these videos
New ParallaxNick video! Awesome!
I think that portrait of Herschel is amazing. May be one of the best ive ever seen of anyone. I fail to see how a photograph could improve much on that
Just a comment for the algorithm. Great video. Keep it up.
Great detail and interest throughout.
Exactly _because_ there isn't much information on this topic is why I appreciate this video so much! Awesome stuff :3
Yes! A perfect end to my weekend!
Excellent video.
Your presentations are wonderful.
I wish you would flesh out your RUclips's "about" page for those, like me, who don't have the patience for Facebook or Twitter nonsense.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT GEM
Thank you for your video's. I always enjoy them.
Love the writing and scope of episodes
I can't even think the phrase ,
"Ring around Uranus," without giggling to myself. My God
I'm like a 12 year old!!!

Eat that comment, RUclips algorithms! Stop harassing the poor content creators.

i liked the name parillaxicality best
Me too, but unfortunately people were having trouble remembering how to spell it.

Among other things :)
@@parallaxnick637That's what started my love of astronomy, seeing it hanging surreal in the sky as an eleven year old boy. My dad bought me my first scope after that.

Um, sorry but where are you referring to? The dates used in reference to Herschel are 1793 and 1797.
You said William Herschel was a frequent visitor to you vlog.
Awesome
So the only ring that is visible from Earth is Adams? Yet the arcs were given French names?

I prefer them sounding like they are from the renaissance fair, than the Middle East, any day of the week.
If this is the eighth episode, then, where's the link for the other seven episodes?! And are all eight episodes about the rings of Uranus and Neptune & nothing else? Seems disjointed & not very well thought out.
added a link to the playlist.
It doesn't care if we just say comment, right? ;)
Hi, algorithm o/
RUclips has added a 'context' panel on the Flat Earth. Anyone else find this as sad as it is ironic?
I've complained in the past. Nothing happened.
How about laïcite instead of egalité deux lol
