👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

Growing up in the North, I had such a shock travelling south in summer, and it got Dark and there were Stars but it was WARM. Darkness and stars have always been combined with cold in my mind.
Living near the equator my whole life I was a bit shocked as well when I spent a few days in Amsterdam in the summer. The day was beautiful, sunny, but I still needed a light jacket lol
Right now it is 19:30 pm in the winter and its 26 C :))))
Edit. Somehow my phone deleted some words before I posted lol
YES! Exactly that. First time I visited friends down south in Sweden it made no sense at all that there was somehow both warm and dark.. Felt wrong! xD
I had this same experience too! Dark skies means cold nights to me
Glad I’m not the only one who feels weird when it’s completely dark but still warm. Even now in August when it gets pretty dark at night (but still not night-dark) we don’t get that combination of temperature and darkness no matter how warm it was during the day.
I spent the winters in Minnesota, and the summers in Texas for the first 20 years of my life, I so I know what you mean, but also I dont lol
Having lived a year in Tromsø I can say that the midnight sun is pretty dang cool to experience... the first few nights. Then the novelty kind of wears off and you'd rather just be able to sleep normally. The price you pay for this midnight sun is no sunlight at all for over two months during winter. Which was also, actually really nice because of the beautiful night skies I got to see up there. The most intense northern lights I've seen. Basically lit up the whole sky to be green. Even some shards of purple in there as it danced elegantly above me
Such a lovely and accurate description of bright auroras. It’s usually only green where I live, but last January we got an amazing night where it was not only bright and lively, but literally the colours of syringas (shades of pink-lilac-reddish-purple) as well as the usual green.
And yes, good window shades are essential in the summer half of the year if you prefer a bedroom that’s not full daylight when you’re trying to sleep.
As a Norwegian, I love how this video came out just as I was tweeting about it's finally getting dark at night again haha
How do you guys manage a healthy sleep cycle with so much light out? Continuous light throughout the night and day sounds like a nightmare to me!!
@@aegresen No idea how they do it in Norway, but in Anchorage, a lot of people have blackout curtains. I also think people just kind of get used to it.
@@aegresen cover up bedroom window with thick curtains or something. Hard to get it completely dark but it's not a problem. But we probably sleep less hours in the summertime than in the wintertime when it's completely dark from before 16PM to 09AM where I live.
@@AmundAntonsen Damn, that still sounds terrible. It gets dark by 7:30[in the summer] here in Nepal, I can't even imagine having daylight bouncing around after that time.
@@aegresen We have blackout curtains, no problem!
Spending my teen years in northern Canada, I adored the summers and their never-ending evenings. I'm not quite so much of a night person now, but it would allow me to stay out later in the garden. The down side, of course, is those never-ending winter nights, which are really really depressing.
You can go golfing at midnight in the North West Territories in the summer.
I lived in Toronto for a few years in southern Canada and missed the longer UK summer evenings a lot.
While I get a bit more winter daylight here in the most southern part of Canada, I get what you mean. The going to work in the dark and going home in the dark gets to you. But on the other hand, it's something to be outside the city when it's -20c or less, in a woodlot, letting the dark and the quiet slip into your bones, with the cold polishing the stars. 63 winters, I've learned you can't beat it, so you might as well embrace it.
I was a kid in northern Canada, during the summer my mother would paint my bedrooms windows black because I refused to go to bed
I bet it's nice as a visitor but I bet it gets intensely depressing after a while
Lived in Bodø for about 5 years (that would be just within the arctic circle), and here is another little fun fact about the phenomena:
If you stay awake for 24 hours (or near enough) during the time when you only get civil twilight/sun the entire 24 hours, the effect is pretty much the same as with jetlag. Essentially your body doesn't get an internal clock reset because it never gets dark, and since you've forced it to stay awake for a full 24 hours your internal clock gets completely out of whack.
I assume you got the SØRINGA treatment and you after 36 48 hours ended up collapsing and sleeping for quite some time
Just saying 🇧🇻
sounds like collage
Yeah, it can be hard to maintain a circadian rhythm in the summer and winter.
You don't really need the midnight Sun for that (though the bright summer nights sure make it easier) - just go to sleep way too late and maybe for too short, so you then fall asleep for a while much too early and then too late again for a few days in a row, and you can get jetlag anywhere you like. Binging TV series or playing video games are great tools to achieve this result, as are irregular working hours.
DIY Jetlag for FREE!
And if you do it just right in winter up here in the not-so-far north (Denmark), you can completely avoid seeing daylight for weeks! Does wonders for your mental health...
@@ivarwind know what you mean
Had a job/assignment the winter of 2002 2003
Working on American time
And I live in Norway
I didn't see sunlight until early April and I hadn't seen it since late November
So yeah absolutely no problem been sun deprived 🙃
Fun living in Scandinavia no sun for ages and then sun almost 24/7 😎
PS this happened in southern Norway although not North of the polar circle where it's much more wilde
24 hours of darkness for months if you're far enough north
Just saying 🇧🇻
The interesting thing for us southern hemisphere folk in NZ is that your cruise is at latitudes that would put it on the barren ice-covered Antarctic land mass, which is currently in pitch darkness. Also not many Kiwis are aware that the southernmost tip of the UK is still further from the equator than the southernmost tip of mainland NZ, and it's only the Gulf Stream that makes your part of the world habitable!
Yep water moderates the climate by holding onto heat much better the big reason Antarctica started to freeze over 33 million years ago was because a circumpolar current was able to isolate Antarctica as the the rift zone between Tasmania and Antarctica finally allowed the sea to flow in and establish a persistent current around the world i.e. the roaring 40's that largely keeps warmer air and waters to the North. Of course in the modern Earth the relative warmth of the gulfstream is largely due to this same isolating southern ocean circumpolar current as it forms the heart of the global ocean thermohaline circulation system (along with Greenland which drives north Atlantic overturning or rather did before we started wrecking the planet but I digress).
Also interestingly did you know that the "Artic Ocean" is actually classified as a Mediterranean sea in terms of its water flow?
Im a kiwi and you taught me something! thanks :)
@@Dragrath1 This is interesting. For comparison, Campbell Island, one of our bleak sub-Antarctic Islands inhabited only by badass scientists, has summer temps of 7-11 deg C, winter temps of 3-7 deg C, never more than 3 sunshine hours even in summer and can snow lightly in any month. At 52 deg S it is the same latitude as sunny Commonwealth Games Birmingham. The Oceans are a giant heat pump sending Southern heat north. I would like to learn more about the Mediterranean Arctic ocean effect.
My brother went to Tromso in the winter to experience the opposite, 4 hours of daylight. They had an aurora downtown a 7PM! It is wild to think you can live in a city, go out for a burger and see the norther lights crossing the street, so cool!
Tromso is beautiful in December and May. Been there for both 24h night/day
About 18 years ago I ran a big fireworks show near Tromso at 3pm (in February). Thought the time was a typo until I realised how far north it really was.
@@David_Groves
The Norwegian flag rules are actually different in the northern counties for this reason: in the winter months (November through February), the flag is hoisted at 0900 in most of the country and lowered at sunset (the “no later than 2100” rule still applies, but I don’t even know why it’s mentioned because it’s never the part of the rule that applies on the winter side of the equinoxes), but up here the rule is that the flag is hoisted at 1000 and lowered at 1500.
@@ragnkja Norway is one of the countries that hoists the flag every day rather than flies it continuously?
@@erkinalp
Yes, the flag should not be up after sunset, but a pennant may be.
As a Finn I still enjoy more of the midwinter time, when the sun doesn’t rise over the horizon. However, it’s not completely dark, a beautiful glow from snow and the sky creates a dream-like lighting everywhere.
I would love to see that one day,
I've seen a snowy landscape lit up by the full moon a few times. Spectacular! I also like the way the snow deadens the sound and makes everything so quiet. Shame we had no snow here last winter, which may have been the mildest on record. Still I'd rather have a mild no-snow winter than the "Beast from the East" of March 2018 which lasted 3 weeks and stopped everything.
Like a permanent sunset? 😍
@@DrBecky yea, very much like that. I wish I could post here pics from the last winter.
I’ve lived my whole life in the northern U.S., so I’m familiar with long twilights. That’s what was remarkable about when I was in the military and stationed in Thailand. In July, the stars came out just 15 minutes after sunset and it was total night soon after that. That old cliché from jungle movies about warning someone that “it gets dark quick around here” is true. Getting to see the Southern Cross and Alpha & Beta Centauri we’re a beautiful bonus.
"It gets dark quick around here" is such an intriguing phrase. I bet people were saying it thousands of years ago too. It's like we knew "Something", but didn't know exactly what that meant.
When I went on vacation to Finland and Sweden in July of 2006, I experienced this phenomenon. I remembered that in able to sleep the hotel had blackout curtains. Otherwise, no sleep for me. I need the room to be dark to sleep. It was a great experience though. I was on the Viking cruise line through the Baltic Sea. marvelous experience I will never forget.
Hahaha I am in (and from) Norway and have just now been trying to understand the twilight terms, PERFECT TIMING!!
Folk burde lære dette når man er 6 år gammel altså
@@user-hk8yp7cw1v Det ville vært nyttig å lære navnene på de forskjellige skumringstypene på skolen, ja! Men man lærer så lenge man lever 😊😊
“Civil twilight” på norsk: “alminnelig tussmørke”, men du finner også “borgerlig tussmørke” på enkelte nettsteder. De andre to tilsvarer de engelske begrepene mer direkte.
@@ragnkja kult, det visste jeg ikke! Trodde det var skumring, men tussmørke gir mer mening!
@@HomeWithMyBookshelf
Skumring er bare om kvelden. Tussmørke om morgenen kan kalles demring (derav uttrykket «det demret for meg»).
This brings back memories of when I was in the Navy (Navy Reserve actually). First time I boarded my Navy ship in central Norway in August, and we sailed above the Arctic Circle to conduct some exercises. Second time we cruised from North Carolina, across the Atlantic, through the English channel and the North Sea, and finished above the Arctic Circle again. We were part of a NATO group, including British, Norwegian, Canadian, U.S. and other countries. The views were gorgeous, especially in the Fjords.
Visiting London from Florida at the beginning of July I was amazed that the sky was still "twilight" at around 11pm, and birds started chirping outside my window around 4:30am.
Also, that second announcement was the funniest blooper you've had in a long time. I feel your frustration!
My one time being in a Northern lattitude was on an airplane in January heading West. We were flying from Chicago to Japan over Canada (and briefly Russia). It was a 13 hour flight and for at least 9 hours straight the sky was pink and the ground was blue. It never got fully dark, never got really light. Just a perpetual twilight situation. Every few hours I would open up the window and see almost this same exact scene with very subtle changes in brightness... the darkest time being "midday" because we were closest to the arctic circle. Finally as we flew over Japan the sky brightened up and we touched down right as the sun was setting over Mount Fuji and I was able to snap a photo out the window. And then it was night again. Really really wild experience.
Good video as always. I remember working up near Hammerfest in northern Norway several years back (the cruise ships would often stop there en-route) and experiencing both the midnight sun in mid summer and around 23 hours worth of darkness in mid winter (with some twilight for an hour). I remember being in a bar with some work mates in the summer, checking the time and realising it's 1am and had to be up for 6am yet still fully awake. A very interesting experience.
I have travelled for work as a filed biologist; I remember working in the Yukon and after a week or so getting really tired. It then "dawned" on me that the lack of night was burning my body out. some blackout curtains fixed that.
so much in love with your bloopers
I flew from Vancouver to London in mid June once. It was amazing to see the Sun skim across the northern horizon dipping below for only a few minutes.
Having lived in North America, Micronesia (AMAZING star gazing there), and visited my wife’s family in northern Norway (Vesterålen), it is almost numinous to have witnessed almost every time for a sunrise/sunset. But thanks to you, I now have learned there are different twilights!!
How neat was it to be hearing presentations and be in Norway?!? It is obvious it was a blast!!!
Cheers.
Great video! midnight sun must be amazing to experience, there’s something so appealing about that part of world with it’s incredible features and such contrasts
The problem with RUclips, I just watched your last video as a subscriber for years and here is RUclips thinking that what I, as a Norwegian geophysicist need is for you to explain to me why it is light outside in Norway during summer minutes later.
This question (not targeting you Becky!) is firmly in the category of "Questions I never thought I'd have to explain to a grown-up", and yet many of the same "grown-ups" that needs this explained seems to know a lot more about other, much more complicated, topics that are completely outside their competence with very high confidence :P
I dont know if this is the best place to say this but im so excited!!!!! Ive been saving up my pocket money and doing chores around the house and next week i think ill be able to get your book Aaaaaaaaaaaa im so happy
The ending ahaha love it, at least your room wasnt next to the engine rooms XD. Only recently found this channel; absolutely quality, shame it took so long to find it, learnt more off Dr Becky in 3 videos than i did with 15 years at school. So thank you very much :)
I remember years ago, hitch hiking around Wales with my gf, staying at various Youth Hostels overnight. This was during the first two weeks in May and one night I couldn't sleep, looked out of the window to see that although the sun had set it was still light enough to see things clearly at midnight!
I don't know if I could cope with 24 hour sunlight. I like the dark for many reasons and am happiest in winter. :)
That being said, Jonna Jinton did a great video about this, but from an artistic point of view rather than scientific. She lives in a tiny village in northern Sweden and her RUclips channel is really lovely.
Well, in return you get 3 hours of sunlight in winter, so its a give and take
@@Schulstand for 5 months..
Happy that you enjoyed visiting the beautiful northern parts of our Scandinavia ❤️ Norway is probably the best place to do so. Best regards from Denmark.
Having moved to the UK from Texas last September I was shocked to realize that for almost a month in June and July it never gets past Nautical Twilight in Edinburgh. Although that wasn't nearly as hard to get used to as the sun setting before 4PM for almost 2 months in winter.
Nah, I love the early onset of darkness in winter in the US. It only lasts a couple of months, and it’s an awesome way to have variation in the different parts of the year. That’s why I will never, ever live in San Diego or Hawaii, where the temperature stays the same all year long. Losing daylight savings time in the US is a travesty in my opinion.
@@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849 While the Senate passed it, the House never voted on it or even did anything more than assign it to a sub-committee for consideration. Since all bills automatically expire with the current session in January, it seems unlikely to end up progressing enough to get voted on. So, it's not ending any time soon.
Anywhere above 54°34' never gets past nautical twilight near the summer solstice, which is all of Scotland and a significant portion of northern England. The whole UK is in varying degrees of twilight, but never night.
This was very educational, thank you - especially the illustrations, like the 360° images from the polar days!
I love your sense of humor, Dr. Becky.
I always learn something new from your vids. Thanks for your enthusiasm, Dr. Becky!
Just love Dr. Becky videos so much fun...
Summer is when Norway's Death Metal goes into hibernation. The darkness comes back when Death Metal comes out of hibernation.
During the Autumn holiday, Død will step out on his front porch, and if he can see his shadow he will go back inside, because the sun is still up and winter is not yet here.
Even here at 55° N we just barely get to astronomical twilight around summer solstice, something that greatly surprises friends from more southerly climes!
By the way you absolutely owe it to yourself to go on one of those cruises during the late autumn to early spring period to see the Aurora Borealis. We did this four years ago and were rewarded with auroras two nights in a row at Alta. They were strong enough to compete with a nearly full Moon!
I guess up there "party 'till sunrise" is an endurance test you just have to experience to believe it. Flerfers should give it a try :)
That's perfect comedy timing with the pause before the Spanish version! Even the UK has pretty late sunsets in Summer - most people don't think of it being that far North - until you line it up with places in Canada!
Mm'yeah as someone who lived in Belgium for 30 years... you even notice the effect of being more North when moving to South Sweden. Quite some time where it doesn't get proper dark (as in what I'm used of) stays longer light and sun is up a tad earlier. My wife who is Swedish thought that was weird until we spend some time in Belgium and she noticed the difference.
You are the funniest smart kid I've ever "met". Love Dr. Becky's sense of humor and her rock star quality of content!
Awesome. Love the bloopers too!
As close as you can get to a tidally locked world, but on earth. Those 20+ hour days are absolutely awesome.
The brightness never caused me any problem getting to sleep. It makes it hard to actually WANT to get to bed, but once in I dropped like a brick.
In the dead of summer in Yukon, Canada it's so nice.
For the winter, it's called cabin fever for a reason, thankfully we have gaming/youtube/and lots of other entertainment as well.
If you have a special someone and/or kids, it helps A LOT in the winter, get a few like minded friends.
I now live in Montreal and days/nights get longer and shorter... but not enough.
Thanks for the video !
These blooper just get better and better
What I loved about Becky in this video is how she goes straight to the point talking about why there's 24 hours of sunlight, and then she talks about what caused it which is the tilt of the Earth.
Most other RUclipsrs would start off the video talking about just how the Earth is tilted, and then talk about the actual point of the video.
For Becky, you learned what you came here to learn, and now if you wanna know about the "what caused it" then you can stay and keep watching or get off.
Awesome video Doc. I hope you enjoyed your cruise. My wife and I love cruising.
That's a very nice shot of you standing at the stern railing. With the moon in the sky and the sun setting.
Oh I’m so glad I watched this. Your info is amazing AND I got to experience the LONG DAYS (and nights!) when I lived in Europe, up north in Finland, for a summer and winter season. However, I lived on a ship when I worked on the Holland America Line cruise line as a photographer and I know exactly what you’re going through through the bloopers and the Captain’s announcements. Lol! You would be in mid conversation and all of a sudden, on comes the Captain……. and you know it’s gonna be a while lol! But, I always loved my Captain’s announcements because being at sea was the most amazing thing to me. (Yes, I capitalized Captain on purpose out of respect to him, btw!)
Still no sure whether I watch because the content is amazing and communicated i=n such an understandable manner or whether it is because Dr Becky is so obviously very intelligent and beautiful. At least I get a healthy dose of STEM learning each week!
That announcement was perfectly timed
lol that's why I love Denmark as well. It stays light until midnight, and the sunrises around 3 during the summer. It's amazing!
Living in northern Finland, this enthustiasm gives me chuckles :)
Up here, on summertime we make everything we can to keep the light out. On winter we do everything we can to illuminate as much as possible.
The winter solstice weeks are heavy on the soul.
In northern Norway we still have an unofficial holiday that I believe is the oldest winter holiday here: solfest, when the sun finally rises high enough to be seen. Because the date varies so much from place to place, and many places also like to celebrate the first actual sighting of the Sun and not just the earliest possible date, it’s not an official holiday, although I suppose it can be considered an official half-holiday in Vardø where the schoolchildren get the rest of the day off the first time the Sun is seen at the nearby fortress each year (I bet they hope it doesn’t happen during the weekend).
Yeah. Just went to the Lofoten this summer. There is no problem with sleep if you hike 1km uphill :)
Great video, keep the work up👏👏
I’ve expericed that many times in the horthen parts of Sweden…it’s soooo cool.
And even here in Gothenburg, during june-july, it never gets totally dark during the night. 😀
Something new learned today! Thank you Dr. Becky.
I was 30 years old when I realized that most people on Earth do not see the Northen Lights every winter.
I grew up in northern Norway. The midnight sun is very nice if you like to keep the party going until morning. Not so nice of you (like me) prefer to sleep at night...
You and anton bring such wonders to my world ❤
Love this video!! Thank you for your work 🤍🪐
Just wanna say I really liked the effect you used in the bloopers during the announcements.
We actually spent a weekend in Tromsø for this exact reason, it was surreal, but beautiful to experience midnight sun like that.
I love that you share your journeys with us DR Becky. my IQ is rising up with each new video upload.
Thank you Dr Becky, another great video, and thanks for that final blooper, that got a genuine full belly laugh from me. 🤣
This made me chuckle.
Hi, I moved to Sweden from Zambia 78. Summer/winter variation is probably about a hour more or less. Came to Sweden in June . . Never got dark. Sunshine at 02.30. I was bushed . . Never slept. The flip side . . Winter is a killer. The only time you see your house/garden and neighbours is the weekends sometime between 10 and 14. Cheers
Those bloopers are epic.
That is so cool! I hope you had a wonderful time!
Loved your video & you on the boat. It looked a Really Fun Time. Your genuine happy smiling & having fun, made me wish that I could have been there with you. I'm just saying. I enjoyed your video, Dr Becky. 😉🥰😘🔭🌌🎶
Loved this, even though I kind of knew why this was it was good to have it explained properly :) Also, I will not feel sorry for you trying to record your video on a cruise lol
yes, we do not feel sorry... sim, não sentimos pena... si, non ci dispiace... já, okkur þykir það ekki leitt...

I live in Alberta, Canada. I can be driving at midnight and still not need headlights, around June 21st at least. But around Christmas it's totally dark by probably 5:00 PM. I love the longer days and longer nights through the year.
Six years ago, I was in Vilnius the second week of June and I had a similar experience, I couldn't believe how bright it was at 11pm.
Thanks for the nice video Dr. Becky, it is nice to see a travelling astrophysicist notes and experience.
Sunrise and Sunset are two vestiges of pre-Copernican times left in our language; when the Earth was meant to be at the centre of the Universe, with the Sun moving around it, rising in the morning and setting in the evening.
There is an historical novel from Fyodor Dostoevsky, "White Nights", a love story set in St. Petersburg where the summer nights are always bright, just like the nights in Norway...
Best bloopers ever!

The midnight Sun in Norway is just phenomenal. I was lucky to be there in May at 3AM in the city Tromso and with a clear sky. Beautiful city and country.
I have fond memories of Norway. Beautiful people - gorgeous from age 12 to 70. And smart - zero national debt. Dr. Smethurst, you fit right in. Thank you.
20 yearsI ago also on ship cruise to Svalbard. We drank beer on the deck and saluted to the sun - at 2 am. 🙃
I am beyond envious of everyone on that cruise.
Love the ending! "Buenas Tardes..." LOL, I feel your anguish! ;-)
Love your videos this one is quite unique :)
THA K YOU FOR THIS!!!!
We live in Utqiagvik Alaska and I've had the damndest time trying to explained this effect to others.
Such a lovely episode, Dr. Becky! Thanks a million for having made this video...
I have always wondered... so many wonderful things (one of them being the occurrence of the seasons periodically) just because of that wee bit of tilt in the axis of rotation?
Wonder what else it has become the cause of.... 🤔
I didn't know that about the Theia impact. That's really cool.
This is a great topic and one I discussed many times with friends when explaining space stuff, earth's formation and all that.
Great content Dr. Becky!
Here's a video idea: top most unexpected experiment/research results in astronomy and/or physics
Like the light speed against eather experiment from your video "how do we know the speed of light"
A compilation of surprising results like that would be interesting to watch :)
Cool. Wife and I did an Alaskan cruise back in 2000 and had the same effect. I had been all excited I was finally going to a place without light pollution and had my good binoculars...hahha was I surprised when it never got dark....but it was a great cruise and trip to Mt McKinley 😁
Beautiful cruise
Great short but fun filled video. I cackled at the Twilight clip. And I did manage to keep up with this one. 🤣
Wow, I HOPE the Captain let you make Astronomical announcements from the Bridge speakers. This was great.
LOL I can't believe I went across the ocean to the UK, and at the same time, you legged it over to Norway!!
Sadly, I am home again and have covid. ugh.
Have fun!
I live in Central Sweden and regularly say that in the summer, we get about three hours of night and in winter, we get about three hours of sunlight. I think it's a few minutes more, or less here and there, but quite right. I sleep much better in the winter than in the summer. When I visited my best friend during the summer, I got to experience midnight sun. It was...weird. You never really get a feeling of how late it is when it's still bright outside.
These were the best bloopers 😄
That last blooper was very well done.
Easily my favourite bloopers 🤣 gracias officer of the watch 👍
Thanks Dr.Becky. Keep looking up ✨. Martin from the Emerald Isle 👍☘️
I used to live in northern BC, and I've spent time in Yukon, it's the same there too. Took some getting used to for sure.
Twilight phases and calculating their transition relative to standard meridians is part of my cpl training!
Lol this was a great video. The universe was plotting against you to make it 😆. I had no idea about civil, nautical,astronomical. Thank you for the insight and a glimpse into your cruise. Have a great time!! Best from Colorado USA 🇺🇸!
Wow How Cool is that, getting to cruise (presumably for greatly reduced fare, or for free?) as the on-board ships Astronomer! Wow!
What a great deal if you can get it!! Anyway, interesting video. Nicely done! That had to be frustrating trying to record segments for your video and having the ship's officers chime in and start talking like that.. heh.. "One Eternity Later"... Hilarious! 😆😆😆
Thanks for this Dr. Becky! Nicely done!!
I never watch bloopers, but this one was too funny 😂
Putting your vacation to good use, eh?
Nice of you, thanks :)
Dr Becky.... your videos consistently have me breaking the laws of physics when I click so fast break the speed of light when I see a video uploaded :)
I was interested in how you scored such a plum experience.
