As a foreigner and not native English speaker, I really appreciate the loud and clear way you talk. Reading and writing is a thing but I often struggle in understanding natives while they talk. This serie is amazing and so are you, thanks for doing this :)
And that orange shirt is simply marvelous. (really, I can't find even find the words. This episode blew my mine on how marvelously powerful the sun is, and how it can affect us too) Astronomy has found it's shining knight.
commandolam I'll echo Carlos Gomez here. Couldn't agree more. Thank you, CrashCourse, for picking Phil as the host for these videos. He describes abstract and overwhelming concepts in a very personable way that makes even difficult science accessible to people unfamiliar with it. Eager to see more videos featuring Phil!
You know I just take the heat of the Sun for granted, especially growing up in Arizona. Of course the Sun is hot, I know that, you know that, we all know that. But it didn't hit me until I watched this how amazing it is that I can feel that heat from so far away. I love that little feeling of realization.
I remember the day I realized the Sun was just another star when I was a child. It was a mind blowing realization and allowed me to step into a bigger world where I understood not all things I see or experienced were correct. That there are hidden meanings, connections and explanations that everywhere in the world.
Humanity originally classified the sun as a PLANET. How embarrassing! Luckily we came to our senses and saw it fits the features of a STAR. And about time too!
Finite Atticus In that case, I couldn't think of a much better complimentary source of information. Sagan's video from Cosmos here on RUclips, regarding the sun and stars, is a little gloomy. Tyson's are more comedic, but Phil's are in that sweet spot, that Goldilocks Zone. Just the good stuff, delivered with a reasonable amount of passion for the subject matter.
Phil, you are such an amazing host. Your passion for astronomy shows in your lectures and frankly, I am becoming more and more passionate about this subject myself because of this. Great job!
Conspiracy theory: Phil (if that’s his name idk) and doctor Phil created a cult of Phil’s that created the corona virus and set the pandemic off into China..I think I just cracked the case 😳😳
CrashCourse, it's partly because of you that I started making videos (in fact, I uploaded my first videos only a couple weeks ago!) in the hopes that I can help people aspire to look at the world through a scientific perspective. And if anyone here is interested in watching more science-based videos, please give my channel a try! I strive to make my videos as visually appealing as possible, and as a grad student who is trying to put himself through school while also supporting his parents, your support and viewership would be greatly appreciated! Thank you guys :D
I normally don't check out people in the comments but for some reason you didn't come off as the typical obnoxious attetion-seeking spammer you'd normally find in the comment section. Man, am I glad that I checked you out. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! :D
***** Right. You are probably (key word is probably) a sock account of OP. There are numerous of occasions where idiots thought they could be famous by pandering on videos. Turns out they just close their channels because of how many inactive subscribers they got.
Such a concise but easily understood explanation. Crash Course Astronomy continuing to be my favorite Crash Course and probably my favorite series on RUclips.
Wow, even though I already knew everything told in this video, hearing it still is truly (and not in the overused sense of the word) awesome! Great video next to the information; loved the animations.
Phil, it would be great to have an episode on "practical tips on astronomy" without technology. Being the basics how to identify North and South. I'm sure there are lots of more thing one can figure out using astronomy without technology.
This show has reignited my thirst for knowledge and hope, remiding me that the internet isn't all just a bright loudness distracting us from intelligence :)
The Sun is also starkly white. It only look slightly yellow in our atmosphere. If you ever see an image of the Sun in space, and it isn't white, that means it's been artificially colored. It's done all the time.
All of this is so fascinating! The way you deliver the information can only be described in one word...perfection! I can’t wait to learn more from you!
The 1859 event called the Carrington Event crashed the telegraph system. It was a once in a 500 year event. It will happen again in the future and the effects will be far more reaching than in 1859.
Very informative! I'm reading a book on the sun right now and although I am learning a lot from it, I am more of a visual learner, so videos like these help me absorb the information better.
I've been writing a post apocalypse story where a CME struck the Earth, causing world wide black outs. I just happened to set the CME event in 2012. Didn't even know that actually nearly happened that year until I watched this.
Just imagine how different things would be if the CME occurred in 2012. And as Phil says, we'd still be recovering! It's astonishing to think of all the things that we would have experienced if those particles from the Sun hit our planet Earth.
Hey, great work explaining such a topic! It was, to me, a perfect manner. At the start, it seemed like this video was going cool, but it just went nuts when focusing on the Sun's magnetic field. It's great to learn about the relations between its magnetic field and the dynamics of those Solar events. Thanks a lot!
I live in Belgium and we were supposed to see an eclipse today but it was too foggy to see anything, which sucks a lot because i don't know if i'll ever get the chance to see something like that again!
***** During the presidential race in 2011/2012, Mitt Romney - the Republican who eventually ran against Obama - kept saying that if he became president, he would shut down PBS. That's the Public Broadcast Service, a government-funded public channel (like most democratic countries have). PBS mostly produces educational shows and other nationally-significant "boring" programs - including this particular Crash Course series - rather than producing reality TV and other stupid sh*t that makes lots of money. The reasons why Republicans thought this was a good idea may be hard to understand if you're a rational person. Basically it's all about cutting government spending and making money. Fortunately he didn't become president, PBS was not shut down, and we all got Crash Course Astronomy. YAY!!!
What they didnt tell you is. The sun is not yellow, but it is white. The surface temperature of the sun is about 5800K so it is more to the cool white(blueish white) side of things than the warm white(yellowish white)
nfetters I should have have known that lol. Yes, an episode on all the types of stars and supernovas would be cool. Don't think it could be considered CC astronomy if you didn't mention them.
Excellent videos for people who want to learn about outer space, should be required viewing for flat earthers. BTW, I love the model of the NX-01 you have to the left :)
I'm looking forward to the day when they get to 50 videos and i can just set the playlist off on shuffle. Brilliant stuff. My new favourite thing on youtube.
I LOVE the Crash Course series, but in this case some of the statements are misleading. Suggesting that scientists have a firm grip on solar mechanics is misleading and may bias young curious minds. It is OK discussing what the interior of the Sun MIGHT consist of, but it must be presented with the caveat that we can only speculate, and that these are suppositions. Our understanding of plasma behavior is at best rudimentary; we know that the Solar plasma state has a magnetic potential many magnitudes more powerful than its gravitational consideration. As proof of this, one can plainly see that the plasma loops on the Sun, consisting of millions of tons of looping matter, utterly ignore the Sun's crushing gravity while in a plasma state. Is it not sometimes more important presenting what we don't know than what we think we know? ...Otherwise, love these documentaries. Think of this comment as tough love :-)

has to be a planet because it's round, stars are pointy ⭐
Edit: spelling
Love how every subject of CC has the same intro theme, with a little pitch variations and different instruments.
Nice. The other day I was saying, I wish I had a really concise video about The Sun to show my daughter. You guys never fail!
*Hey finite I haven't seen your videos yet but I was planning to. You better have good material or else I will eat you.*
Hey Atticus! :D
It's so much more fun to talk to children about these things, rather than sit them in front of a monitor.
Their reactions are priceless.

Wow... This is why I like Crash Course, because when you are done it just leaves you going "Wow, I didn't know that." Keep up the good work guys!
Phil, thank you and everyone at CrashCourse and PBS very much for doing a phenomenal job. I love this show and the whole channel.

The trick to landing on the Sun is to do it at night.
TrulyEvilBob Or during an eclipse
culwin naaa the moon is in the way - you need to land during winter
Zurt Or while its raining.
lol
ProfessorCrooks good idea - the rain can put out the sun!!! why doesnt NASA get on this? theyre wasting taxpayer money

Learning about the sun while sitting in warm sunlight makes it special.

Thank you for these videos. They’re put together in a educational yet entertaining way. I’ve learned a lot.
He is absolutely brilliant, and he knows how to convey important information so easily.
this was one of the coolest CC episodes !
I really love this guy he has such a great way of speaking and explaining things.
Wow, even though I already knew everything told in this video, hearing it still is truly (and not in the overused sense of the word) awesome! Great video next to the information; loved the animations.

Seeing you in person I know how passionate are you about Astronomy & Science. You are doing great job on educating us. Thank you.
Great job Phil. Congratulations to you and your team. Thanks for making astronomy this interesting.

There is no one true color of white light.
"The color temperature of sunlight above the atmosphere is about 5900 K."
I found your series during a hospital visit when being too tired for reading, Really great stuff thank you Phil.
I really really like this guy.Thank you crash course. RIP John green :(
and we all love you Crash Course make more! all your videos are awesome and learnable
thanks for using metric
Excellent presentation..teachers should look to follow same approach in education...good job
I saw the corona today at a total eclipse!!! It was amazing!
All of this is so fascinating! The way you deliver the information can only be described in one word...perfection! I can’t wait to learn more from you!

I love you good sir. PRAISE THE SUN!
no thx.

Sadly, yes we are all screwed when it happens, and it's bound to eventually. Be ready!
Not in so elegant words. The sun,other stars, pulars, magnetars, supernovas, and others . I enjoy this .
The sun giveth and the sun taketh.
yep!
You guys should make a crash course on the great scientists/historical figures and their greatest works
"The sun is a 2 octillion ton Gorilla, we need to respect that."
Love that line😂
Haha nice, I have a exam about the sun tomorrow, and you connected all what I have learned over the last few days in one video. Thank you for that.
This was an amazing episode. Thank you :)
I've been writing a post apocalypse story where a CME struck the Earth, causing world wide black outs. I just happened to set the CME event in 2012. Didn't even know that actually nearly happened that year until I watched this.
8:06 has this mystery been solved (since it has been 5 years and he said we may solve it soon)
My favorite video so far! Thanks guys.
"If solar storms were like Earth storms, a solar flare is like a tornado, and a CME is like a hurricane." -John Green

Please tell me I'm not the only one who rocks out to the theme song!!!!!!!!!! :D

Oh my gosh, that would be too awesome.
This I would love to see. That and Crash Course Sociology.
This needs to happen.
they might be hesitant to touch on it since some topics might be controversial, but i would like to see it
There is Crash Course Philosophy. I believe Hank Green is the host.

I enjoyed this learning session immensely.
This episode was so dam hot, but no mention of supernovas. Does this mean theirs going to be a whole episode on supernovas?
We're talking about the sun which won't go supernova, there still might be an episode about supernovas though.
