0:56 I like how you added the touch that triton orbits Neptune in the opposite direction to other moons. Now that’s attention to detail!
0:30 LOL THIS.
a big thank you to whoever comes up and does all these funny animations xD
In case anyone is wondering, this is called "Tidal locking". The gravitational pull is significantly higher on the nearer side of the moon, so any rotational momentum it had previously has been counteracted by Earth's gravity, leaving us with one side always being pulled more than the other, "locking" it in place
You would be correct if the scene were explicitly in northern temperate latitudes. Well spotted, but we show a waxing crescent ending up as full Moon (not new Moon as you wrote). However, for those in Australia it would look as shown. The OU is global, so that's OK :-)
A more important point is that the phase takes several days to change by this much. Lovers on a balcony would have to be there for an unfeasibly long time however affectionate they felt - but we speeded it up for humorous effect.
I love the voice acting.
The Moon's rotation is not shown backwards. Please refrain from using offensive language. The Moon's phases (where its visible shape changes) is nothing to do with its rotation. The waxing (growing) crescent Moon looks D-shaped when seen from northern latitudes and C-shaped when seen from southern latitudes (because it is seen the other way up).
This is the first time a video that credits Soviet achievement 0:46
The opening animation of the moon phase shows an 'old' moon phasing to a 'new' moon, when of course it actually goes the other way. We expect better of the OU!
awesome
i think the voice acting is done by a British comedian, i recognize his voice from the BBC show QI where he is a recurring guest
i bet that hiring him wasn't cheap
these animations are so funny
I couldn't stop laughing
Odd that a UK-based university shows the shadow moving from left to right (10-16 seconds).
I am amazed how the moon can spin in such a perfect speed that it never turns around. Think about it. It's almost. Design spinning. :) *Can almost hear the atheists going crazy in the room*... :P
WHAT A CROCK STORY!!! "LOL"
I think you would be surprised, and I think he wanted to do it.
My brain: MADE IN HEAVEN
Was this what all the fuss was about in Private Eye? If the Open University has ambitions to be global and a university it needs to do better. So what happened to all the comments that prompted Lord Gnome's attention?
We are a global university now ;-)
Here's a site where schoolkids show that they know that lunar phases look different when seen in N and S hemispheres: SLASHSLASHresources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.ukSLASHtimeSLASHmoonSLASHphases.html
(I cant post web addresses, so you will need to re-insert the slash symbols)
so.... you can not face the Queen with your back?... interesting...
You can't face anybody with your back
A moon day is 356 hrs long
spelled astronomy wrong..lol
And someone who wants to leave you defenseless is much smarter right? GO TO SYRIA IF YOU WANT "NO GUNS"..HECK GO TO CHICAGO
Nobody knows who God is.
