    This video is the exact kind of thing I’ve always wanted, unfiltered information about space. So many channels are amazing sources of info but put it through a “general public” filter which makes it hard to learn deeper aspects from the actual video. Thank you so much for filling this void in my soul that I needed

      I agree. While it is very easy to find 'general public' basic channels for Astronomy & Astrophysics, it is more difficult to find something of a bit 'higher ambition', while still avoiding crude data, maths demonstration, etc. And this is a great balance i believe. At least it works for me too. And yes, the animations are awesome on that soft-spoken voice. More!

      All planets do it a bit. The big four are nice and big and create 4 layers of big shields. Mars also, but a lot less. If something gets through all of that, it still has to get past the moon which circles earth directly and frequently and takes a bunch of big hits itself.
      Seems that if we want to look for a planet that can sustain life, we need to be looking for systems with several big cleaners.

    These orbital mechanics are surprisingly comparable to electron orbits requiring specific energy levels to move an electron from one shell to another, specifically an electron volt. But considering how these gateways seem to have some amount of standard deviation, it makes me wonder if maybe it doesn’t necessarily take one electron volt for electrons to change levels, but perhaps a standard deviation exists that can allow for greater levels of manipulation of matter on that scale.

    it's just so beautiful and poetic. Im no expert in astronomy nor physics, but it just seems so understandable thanks to the animations.
    Jupiter is a big bro to us, that's all I can say

    I remember this event clearly, I was like 10 when it happened but I was already fascinated by astronomy and it was a big deal all over the news. There were no live streams at the time, but IIRC one of the major TV networks interrupted the regular program to cover the impact either as it happened, or as the impact sites rotated into Earth's view, i forget which it was but I totally remember switching off my SEGA to see the images. That event was like gasoline on the fire of my love for astronomy.
