When my brother and myself were young, my father bought an old (but powerful) telescope - and we began to peer into the mysteries of the night sky - beyond the light pollution of Montreal. I can distinctly remember the wonder I felt, observing Saturn for the first time. I can imagine my father smiling, as I write these words.
I Don't see how it's humanly possible to watch this program & take in the information without feeling incomparably tiny. The telescopes that are world has been launching over the last 15 or 20 years are simply and truly amazing and it just gets better every day. I was watching the show and marveling at the fact that they could zoom in and the resolution was mapping time as we zoomed in unbelievable remarkable astounding I don't know any other adjectives that could really describe this thank you
I can see how some people could watch this, and immediately drop any pretense of morality. Like, “what does it matter what I do? I’m a tiny, short lived being on a tiny, nondescript clump of dirt and water. Floating around in a void too big to imagine and completely irrelevant”. It’s scary because it’s true. Logic that is hard to argue with.
I love space and I never knew this channel existing. I looked at the age of this channel and the amount of videos available and I'm overjoyed lol. I'll be watching every one.
I can't believe I am just now learning about this channel. My kids watch your videos with me before bed. Seeing them listen to every word and ask me questions, their little minds in awe and wonder at the universe while I hold them in my arms gives me a peace and happiness that's hard to describe. Thank you!
yes his voice makes his videos a nice go to bed story where he fills the mind of the listener with beautiful pictures and size and distance measurments of beatiful things in the cosmos. ( me myself fall asleep 70/30 with war documentaries and space documentaries ) or stories of ancient kings and queens. I am alone and feels nice to have a voice talking to me while going to sleep. And in the long run I learn a heck of a lot.

How cool it is that Mr Butler posts some of the most interesting and informative videos on the internet - and then keeps them up to date and in 4K? Thank you Mr Butler for your wonderful work.
David, by showing us such beauty and all of it accompanied by such glorious music, you appease the soul, and that makes you both a teacher and a healer. Thank you.
This combination of these images, your gentle vocal tone and the tasteful music, have a therapeutic effect on my mood. Nice to be learning whilst being soothed. Thank you.
I know it is gonna be a great evening when I see "David Butler" show up in my new uploads. Mr. Butler, I have seen all of your amazing and informative videos, and you are greatly appreciated! I have learned so much from you. Hope you are doing well!
Not all heroes wear capes. Some are named David Butler and post incredibly informative videos that have beautiful music narrated with his delightfully relaxing voice. Unless of course Mr. Butler wears a cape, in which case all heroes wear capes.
I love that people appreciate this shit as much as we do. Honestly brings tears to my eyes to know we’re so lucky to have such an incredible wealth of knowledge so well made for absolutely free. It’s honestly amazing
To the best of our knowledge, all heroes wear capes. However, we recognize that many heroes may or may not wear capes. Also, some villains wear capes. I suppose the point is, do not judge anyone wearing a cape simply by the fact that they are or are not wearing a cape. A cape is not an accurate measure of heroic intent. But David Butler is totes a hero.
What kind of human down thumbs a video like this? Thank you David for your highly educational and calming videos and of never being afraid of the answer "We don't know."
Antiscience and "Young Earth Creationist" are the types that gives videos like this a thumbs down. They think they have the all the answers they need from the bible, especially in Genesis. Any science that challenges their core beliefs is blasphemy!
It’s nice to hear a real human voice talking about these things. Don’t get me wrong, I admire all the other videos put out on this subject. I watch a lot of them and am even subscribed to their channels for the informative content. I know and understand the YT hustle. However, it’s nice to hear someone talk about it with their own voice, conveying real emotions, and actually hearing the tone of the voice change along with showing real images instead of something computer generated (which are amazing, by the way, but real space is way more intriguing than fake space). Keeps me more focused, like I’m front row in a class with a test tomorrow. Thanks for the informative videos! Just found your channel. I have a lot to go through and watch. 17:45 - so breathtakingly beautiful.
Your channel is very much appreciated Mr. David Butler. I've had an overwhelming fascination with outer space since childhood and your channel simply makes me feel the infinite youthful wonderment I felt then. I look forward to each and every video. Thank you very much.
Hey there Tavanium! I feel the exact same way about space and that is why I find myself on this channel. My interest has lead me to work towards becoming an astronaut. I am currently working towards that goal, check out my journey on my channel.
Anybody in any country, who love astronomy and the cosmos, do humbly recognize the important contribution of the ancient Arab astronomers. Allah Akbar...
Watching this video is like stepping back in time. Listening to classical music and watching the stars, something Carl Sagan would put together. Very well done.
This is by far one of the greatest shows on RUclips and should deserve it's own RUclips space on the front page. If you ever see this David, keep going with this style. We keep returning to this and many of your older ones so much. Maybe create space travel simulations from us to more and more distant spaces! That would be insanely good!
I’ve been binge watching David Butler’s videos since the images from JWST were released. How amazing and numinous is our cosmos!!! Even within our local cluster are billions and billions and billions of stars; all with countless planets surround almost each and every star. How many of those have life? And life that are technologically evolved like ours?!? We I’ll never know! And how amazing is that we we live in a time where we can send up satellites like Hubble, Chandra, Gaia, and now JWST!! And how fortunate we are to talented people like David to make these videos? They are simply the best, most authentic videos on RUclips.
Hello and Thank You for these great videos. Great photos great narrating and beautiful music! Your taste in music is very excellent. I can never get tired of watching these wonderful series. They are always new to me, I learn a new thing every time. Thanks again. Best Regards:
I watch you before bed with my headphones in, nobody does it better then you sir! The calming music in the back, with your relaxing, knowledgeable, voice, it usually takes me everything in me to stay away for half of the program, so two days for one documentary, that's only if I really try hard. Thanks for your passion, love of educating us who love to know more about this incredible universe-- multiverse & beyond, we are not even a speck of sand in it all, literally microscopic at best!
Your channel is one of the rare gems on RUclips! Your videos are highly informative, and with soft voice and a soothing background music, very relaxing to watch. I watch them everyday at night after dinner while going to bed! Thank you for these videos!

Watching this while listening to Coming Home from Falling in Reverse 😵💫. We are nothing, and yet it feels it is all a perfectly synchronized spectacle for our entertainment. Grateful from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻
What a great way to conclude a night then to listen to David Butler and watch his video. We humans have a hard time grasping the majesty of our surroundings. When we were doing star parties regularly, people would often express that the mere size of the universe made it hard to comprehend. I believe those attributes set our imagination free to roam among the stars and enjoy the wonder of it all. Thanks for all your work, David.
Actually had the balls to stop talking for a few seconds and let what you just heard sink in while enjoying the music and visuals without fear I would get bored and go elsewhere. Thankyou David, by respecting me you have earned my respect.
I love your videos, David. I fall asleep to them. The magic and majesticness of them all. It's like being read a bedtime story every night. It's beautiful.
Great Sir. My humble praises to you. Your vid lessons r helping the budding Astronomers well beyond expectations. Great my humble regards to you. GURU JI.
I always look forward to a new video by you. I really really enjoy how much effort you put into breaking down complex science without oversimplifying. This channel is my go-to for chill educational videos, especially winding down before bed
Absolutely profound and fascinating videos. Thank you for blowing my mind. It's amazing how so much detail is revealed in a hubble picture by zooming in. Please make more videos!
It’s unfortunate that this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. You do an excellent job overall, between the information you convey, to the calming, relaxing music, and your voice. Carl Sagan would be pleased. Not all of the brightest astronomers and astrophysicists are able to communicate what they know to an audience of lay persons in a way that we can understand. You have that gift. It’s just sad that we have so much light pollution that it’s difficult, even with a good telescope, (a local university has one just a short drive away, but even it is difficult to view, due to the local light pollution) to see anything close to the detail shown here. Thank you for the care, effort, and attention to detail you have put into your videos.
PafMedic I live in Massachusetts. Light pollution is a problem almost everywhere in the eastern part of the state. The observatory was part of an upgrade of a local college to a university, and the observatory is atop a whole new science building. That’s a problem also, because anyone walking in lower floors of the building causes vibrations which affect the quality of the viewing. This isn’t just a problem with this university. Light pollution is a problem around the globe. Just viewing through the atmosphere is difficult, not just because of the twinkling, caused by the atmosphere, but because our atmosphere blocks many parts of the EM spectrum from reaching the surface. This is good for life on Earth, but tough for observers. I think the next step is an observatory on the far side of the Moon. That solves the light pollution problem, and we could build instruments that can explore across the entire EM spectrum. And “night” lasts two entire weeks. But this telescope is good for an introduction to astronomy, and it’s open to the public one night a week (though not now, during the pandemic).
If you think it all happened by chance, it's unthinkable that WE are here. For the complexity of life here on earth to happen randomly, 15 billion years isn't nearly long enough.
David, just found your channel & it's absolutely brilliant. the video's are magnificent & the resolution is exceptional. Keep producing this stuff, it's a pleasure to watch.
This is just so fascinating to watch and you narrative is one of the best. Just can't believe what's out there, just amazing, keep up the good work David.
Thanks for making these videos. They answer a lot questions that are never really discussed in the popular astronomy videos that I watch on science channel and national geographic
When I see and learn about the universe, I can't stop thinking about how insignificant we (humans) are and how small compare to the entire universe or even the solar system is our existing and civilization. Amazing video!
These videos are only for the quality audiance. Sir is an inspiration for all . Even at this age he is making one of the best contents on the internet . Thank you sir , thank you for everything 🙏 May God bless you with long healthy life❤ One day I will be like you✊
I have watched a video by this same RUclips channel where it would take 500+ million years for Voyager 1 to get to a point where a photo of the whole Milky Way Galaxy would be in the pic
@@chew76 yes, that nearest star is within our Milky 🌌 Way At the current technology, any manned mission would take about 170,000 years to reach Proxma Centari
Wow. I think I just discovered a new favorite channel. Amazing work, friend. I had never learned so much about our local group of galaxies in so much detail.
it still blows my mind that, although these stars look so densely packed, there’s trillions of miles between them. it’s inconceivable how massive our universe is. massive isn’t even close enough to describe the insanity of it. i’ll forever be fascinated and also sad that i cant experience these beautiful sights first hand with my own eyes. the only reason we can see these massive objects is because of their distance, to be able to see it with the naked eye would be incredible and impossible but we can daydream 💭
That's why we have our OOB senses, we're designed to be awed by the wonders of creation from direct observations. The caveman tools we are using right now are nothing in comparison to the secrets of our organic genome.
Absolutely stunning stuff. It makes the fascinating study of astronomy almost approachable to us English majors! Just really appreciate these programs. Nearly impossible for me to get my head around the massive scale of the universe. Thank you sir for making this tour so accessible to us!!
For sure the most informative and "democratic" astrophysical channel ...the music, the narrative, everything works together pretty well! Thank you for the amazing content and hope you keep doing new series !
Two years ago, I couldn't even tell you the name of another galaxy other than the Milky Way.... or the name of a star other than our sun..... Then by sheer boredom, I watched a video on UY-Scuti, which until recently was the largest know star in our universe. The size of that star, in which billions of our suns could fit into, absolutely blew my mind!! Now two years later my wife calls me a space nerd, and I've watched hundreds of videos on our universe, Mr. Butler, your videos are some of the most informative and beautifully illustrated that I've enjoyed yet! I vote that the next biggest star we discover be aptly named "The David Butler Star".

Thank you so much for all you do, I love astromony and its hard to find great youtube content that truly respects the wonders of the universe.
Such a sit back and relax video, narrated by an amazing voice.
Thanks for making these videos. They answer a lot questions that are never really discussed in the popular astronomy videos that I watch on science channel and national geographic
I can watch this all day. So mind blowing. Great content. Thank you for your time and hard work
Spiritual in the best possible way. Thank you, David.
Glad Mr. Butler is back. I was so excited to see he has done more work recently. Thank you for keeping us informed.
David ought to have a million subs.
wonderful production, information and teaching method. thank Mr. Butler
When I see and learn about the universe, I can't stop thinking about how insignificant we (humans) are and how small compare to the entire universe or even the solar system is our existing and civilization.
Amazing video!
Mr Butler you make the most beautifull videos of YT. Thank you for this and all your work
Hello from Finland ☕🍰 I like too much you are video I'm very happy your video 4K 👍 you have big respect

Sir is an inspiration for all . Even at this age he is making one of the best contents on the internet . Thank you sir , thank you for everything 🙏

One day I will be like you✊
These Galaxies are beautiful but would love to see our Galaxy from their point of view!
That would be marvelous to say the least
When you get there, take a picture and send it to us :)
I have watched a video by this same RUclips channel where it would take 500+ million years for Voyager 1 to get to a point where a photo of the whole Milky Way Galaxy would be in the pic
@@angeloriggi6370 It would take voyager around 70,000 years to reach the nearest star from our sun
@@chew76 yes, that nearest star is within our Milky 🌌 Way
At the current technology, any manned mission would take about 170,000 years to reach Proxma Centari
Mr. Butler thank you for probably the only stuff on internet I can't help but listen to because it so interesting and deep!!!!!!
Always enjoy your videos, David. [thumbs up]
Thank you for your relaxing and informative talks on space. I especially love your music selections, they complement your voice well.
Nasa talking about a mars mission! Can't even launch the james webb space telescope on time. Loved the video and music!
Wow. I think I just discovered a new favorite channel. Amazing work, friend. I had never learned so much about our local group of galaxies in so much detail.
it still blows my mind that, although these stars look so densely packed, there’s trillions of miles between them. it’s inconceivable how massive our universe is. massive isn’t even close enough to describe the insanity of it. i’ll forever be fascinated and also sad that i cant experience these beautiful sights first hand with my own eyes. the only reason we can see these massive objects is because of their distance, to be able to see it with the naked eye would be incredible and impossible but we can daydream 💭
That's why we have our OOB senses, we're designed to be awed by the wonders of creation from direct observations.
The caveman tools we are using right now are nothing in comparison to the secrets of our organic genome.
Nothing humbles me more then centering myself around these creations and distances.
Absolutely stunning stuff. It makes the fascinating study of astronomy almost approachable to us English majors! Just really appreciate these programs. Nearly impossible for me to get my head around the massive scale of the universe.
Thank you sir for making this tour so accessible to us!!
Thank you so much for creating these videos. They are absolutely superb.
I thought it was very professional of you to describe the need for dark matter without pleading its actual existence. Extremely well done
For sure the most informative and "democratic" astrophysical channel ...the music, the narrative, everything works together pretty well! Thank you for the amazing content and hope you keep doing new series !
Wow the universe is both unbelievably beautiful and in a way sort of terrifying
It’s only terrifying if you’re paying attention
It terrifies me as well, as their must be a creator who made this beautiful creation, the one creator!
Greatly appreciate your work David. By far the best astronomy channel on RUclips
This was very informative and interesting. Thank you, for posting.
Thank you sir. That's all I have to say. People like you make You Tube a grate place to gather knowledge.
Two years ago, I couldn't even tell you the name of another galaxy other than the Milky Way.... or the name of a star other than our sun..... Then by sheer boredom, I watched a video on UY-Scuti, which until recently was the largest know star in our universe. The size of that star, in which billions of our suns could fit into, absolutely blew my mind!! Now two years later my wife calls me a space nerd, and I've watched hundreds of videos on our universe, Mr. Butler, your videos are some of the most informative and beautifully illustrated that I've enjoyed yet! I vote that the next biggest star we discover be aptly named "The David Butler Star".
Thank you for the clarity, and flow...being brief, is well stated, my daughter, wife & I thoroughly enjoyed it!
