    This video has been a long time coming - a remaster of one of the very first videos on my channel from the "Our Solar System's Planets" series. Apart from the structure of the script though, not a lot has survived from the original, we have new narration audio, new images, new music, updated information, 4K, etc. So far we have remastered Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, so which planet would you like to see remastered next?
    The standing principle of this channel is “Space for Everyone”, it’s what goes into making every one of these videos and the foundation of our Patreon community. Join today to become a part of that. bit.ly/4anEb5u

    I'm a primary school teacher and for a couple weeks each year I teach about space while using Space Engine and Universe Sandbox. I open up the space-themed weeks with 120 kids listening. Some classes I've been teaching multiple classes, totaling around 4 hours of mostly talking, and over 95% of the kids were still hooked. They are always brimmed with wonder and questions. Every year I come back to a couple of your videos to freshen up on my knowledge, so thanks for that!

      To be fair, from what I've heard, Jupiter is actually protecting us from many asteroids by pulling them to it instead of the asteroids having free access to hit Earth. So if anything, Jupiter is probably the most important planet in our solar system to us, other than Earth of course.

    The fact they suspect Jupiter was way out, came wandering in, then went back out again - thus influencing where we are, why Mars is so small, why it didn't quite make it as a star.

    I used my Nikon P1000 super zoom camera (it's like a mini telescope) to get a photo very close to what was at 6:17. It was amazing to see the bands on Jupiter with my own tools. Its different to see these celestial bodies yourself instead of just through youtube videos and documentaries. Its floating out there right now and has an influence on all of us even though most people won't really care to notice it. And it has its own hurricanes, crosswinds, tornadoes and lightning strikes happening right now, but no one is there to witness them. At least... not yet. Hopefully we can get some good video and audio footage of all of our planets one day soon!

I can also say that over half of what I learned in school has now been forgotten. School doesn't really care about your education or interest to learn, they only care if you're present so they can get money.
      I've had so many wonderful teachers that wanted so desperately to teach us useful things that weren't in the curriculum.

      @starrmont4981 3 месяца назад +4

      Good question! Whatever Iupiter Optima Maxima doesn't gobble up or exile becomes part of his Lagrange Entourage. On his left hand are the Trojan Asteroids and on his right hand are the Greek Asteroids. Behind Sol are the Hildas, but we don't talk about those. The Trojans and Greeks dance somberly around their respective Lagrange points every 150 years, taking turns on who gets to be closest to their Big Daddy.

    There's something incredibly strange, as well as awe inspiring, about staring at Jupiter through your telescope for about an hour or so, then coming inside and seeing a video such as this, describing in great detail, the planet you were just looking at with your very own eye. (And in my case, it was totally by accident that i came across this video on Jupiter. As soon as i opened RUclips, it was literally right there lol)

    I love these indepth videos about our planets. I would love to see a video about how unique our solar system is in comparison to most other systems we've discovered. From our Sun to the number of planets in the system. A lot of other systems have their gas giants in the inner system or missing Rocky planets altogether. How different is our system to what we've discovered everywhere else?

    I believe that life on Earth would not have been possible without each celestial body in our solar system. Each plays a role in making Earth habitable and again in my opinion based on observation makes life here on Earth all that more precious.

    • @duality1389
      @duality1389 3 месяца назад

      This is a pretty fair point, and many folks don't don't give enough credit to life on earth besides the sun and water. I would give a lot of credit to the moon as well and many of earth's life cycles revolve around it. If it had not been for Jupiter and it's likely migration to the inner solar system then maybe the moon would have never formed. Some say that Jupiter is like a goal keeper for the inner soaler system, but it can work both ways. There is no doubt that it's massive gravity has taken in many celestial objects but also no guarantee that it won't sling some our way. In any case Jupiter definitely played a major role in how our solar system came to be as it is today.

Never worked so hard on a school project - my Mum was already an armchair astronomer (she gave me the Fever for science and astronomy), and even my Dad got excited about it too!
    I got 96% and I was very proud 😂
