"thank you for uploading these videos. Even if I'm having a hard night, I just put a relaxing astronomy video on and listen. It always makes my nights go much easier. Thank you!!!"
Mr. Butler, I've just come across your channel with the assistance of YT's suggestion. Let me express my respect: your material is highly exacting and I'm not afraid to mention that, in addition, your voice is crystal clear which is pleasant to listen to.
Absolutely Brilliant! At first I thought the pace would bore me to tears, but in reality I never wanted this video to end. Educational, Visually Stunning and by far the best thing I have ever seen on RUclips. Thank You for showing me how beautiful the Universe is visually as well as audibly.
what a great series. hats off to you david, and great job putting all these books together. you definitely have a deep love of astronomy and passion to show everyone what you know. you are a credit to the human race.
Thank you for posting these fabulous videos. Your simple and concise commentary and its considerate tempo, is devoid of hyperbole and speculation and is greatly appreciated - but above all, clearly understood.
Wonderfully explained as always. Your evenly paced and clear presentation is an absolute delight and stands head and shoulders above any other YT channel on this subject - or ANY subject , for that matter. I could listen to you explain how to make a cup of coffee and it would be a pleasure. Thank you so much !
David sir you are absolutely amazing. Your level of intelligence on the universe is bar none unmatched. Nobody and I really mean nobody can come close to you. I love your videos Please make more ok? I will support your channel.
Thank you for all the amazing series you have made, how far, how small, how fast etc. I have seen them all some of theme many times and they are some of the most informative videos on the Internet.
Watching your most recent content sir but must remark how much me and my young children so admire your oratory skill in explaining complex subjects in a simple way that we call all enjoy and contemplate further. To Mr Butler and the team of skilled people creating this content I salute you.
We have to give him a +1. I have been chewing all the old documentaries over and over again. I needed this deeper look into the work of the astronomers. Like fresh fruit compared to rotten from previous year.
Thank you David Butler. Absolutely fascinating roundup of 2016. This presentation shows your tremendous dedication to the the field of astronomy. Here's hoping you keep bringing us these updates for many more years to come. Kindest regards Prabhakar Rao
Thanks for this 4K update. Watch your whole series almost every month. Way too much to take in all at once, except the images. My eyes work faster than my brain!
Thank you, Dr.Butler, for telling it like it is. You are kindly creating an impeccable source of information and access to knowledge. The effect of the SGR1806-20 starquake on systems, possibly inhabited, considerably closer than ours must have been devastating.
David, I'm enjoying your videos with excellent narration-explanation. You really enjoy astronomy and seem to have mastered the subject. Thank you for all the work you have done giving all of us a better understanding of the universe.
Olá Mr. David. Obrigado por este filme e todo seu conteúdo. Estamos a anos luz de nos conhecermos; seja pela fronteira da distância, do conhecimento ou de experiência, mas senti como se estivéssemos olhando o céu, em uma excelente aula de contemplação estelar. Estarei assistindo seu repertório e acompanhando os novos conteúdos a partir de agora. Escrevo estes elogios em português, apenas para poder lhe retribuir com algo que possa ser além de seu domínio... thank you. Thiago.
Agreed. One of the best narrators I've ever heard. Incredible combination of an amazing breath and depth of knowledge... Along with his silky smooth and simplistic delivery. Amazing.
Hello David Butler i want to say big greetings from middle of Sweden. I have been interested in astronomy as an amateur for over 20 years. And David after your episodes How far is it woooow everything got even moore interesting now. Now we all can only wait for James webb lauch You are amazing thanks!
Please don't stop making videos especially that soon we're having the total solar eclipse and next year they're launching the new James Webb Space telescope.
yes. I can't wait to see the supposed further-out-than HST James Webb (space) Telescope & more videos by Dr Butler would be a great vehicle to hear about & see things Webb sends back.
Daivd sir you are legend.. your voice knowledge and way you explain with patience..amazing. so fascinating to know he'll lot in there and happening out in Cosmos.. and how tiny we all are
First time viewer & absolutely love it! My only suggestion would be less audio compression. Your voice is often cut at very the start & end of your sentences. This makes it also sound a bit weird without any ambient sound. The content however, love it. I'm now going to head off to watch more :) Thank you
Wow! This is the good news / bad news aspect of u-tube. I started exploring in 2011, and I've just discovered this site in 2017, by just "fluking" it. Somewhat behind on the astrophysics, but just right for the astronomy. For example, Eta Carina as a type of pre-super nova kind of system. Who new? Subscribed in an instant.
Big fan , however stressful the day is always go back to David butler before going to sleep . His knowledge and dedication aside , his voice has total hold over me ...
I like your videos a lot. And your choices of background music are just right. The way you explain this complicated matter is wonderful explained and your voice and tempo (speed) just very enjoyable to listen too. Thank you very very much for all your work that you put into your videos. It was and is worth it to watch and listen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊👏🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻
Mr. Butler, normally, although I really do try, and am interested, most excessively technical descriptions of the universe can't hold my interest for long, as I'm not up on complex science. But you have a way of allowing me to really appreciate these things much more than I usually ever could. Thank you. Look forward to more!
Wow, first one of your videos I've seen - very impressive (not least in the clarity of expression). I did recognise the 2nd (Adagio) movement of my favourite piano concerto near the end. If you have the time to answer a basic question I would very much appreciate it: Exactly how does our galaxy rotate? Is it like a turning wheel, with all the stars remaining in the same positions relative to each other? Or is there some planetary-system-like movement, so that some stars overtake others as they revolve around the galactic centre faster than others? Or, are those spiral arms gradually spiralling in to a super-massive black hole at the galaxy's centre??
Thanks for another great video! I cannot wait for How Old Is it? I'm pretty sure I know how it will start- you will begin in your backyard and begin to go back in time until the Big Bang. Then you will cover topics in cosmology.
First off, Thank you for all of your brilliant videos. But The reason for this comment is I wanted to suggest an idea for a new video if you felt up to it. I was wondering if you could explain our orientation in space and why people in the southern hemisphere have a view of the galaxy’s center, and people in the north cannot see it. Also why when the planet travels through a yearly cycle, why we are not able to see different sets of stars. I have come to somewhat understand it myself but only after 30 years of pondering. I believe this would be a successful video and also a very informative one. Thank you again Mr. Butler. I watch your videos on repeat. I love the intricate details that you explain, almost as much as I love space itself.
David Butler thank you so much for the consideration. I’m sorry if the copy and pastes of this comment seemed a bit much. But my family literally watch your videos constantly and we often talk about “our” orientation in space.
Hi David, Just want to say that I'm a huge fan, think that you're incredibly educated and so addictively informative. Please could you confirm if you will be completing the How Old Is It series at all? Thank you so much for all of your time and effort.
27:50 so incredible seeing so many bunched up together but not the slightest fathomation of how far outward they go, and spread apart they are in general. Itty bitty piece of darkest area. Being so far apart, I wonder how many we'd see if we weren't in milky way but just a figure solar system... Prob only a few dozen or so.
surprised few have discovered this gem of a channel the perfect point between simplistic assumption based physics/cosmology videos for the layman & complex math lectures out of bound of the layman
Thanks as always for your wonderful videos. I cherish them. I'm sure you're busy, but if ever you feel the motivation to launch off a new series -- if even just a one-episode series -- "How Long Ago Was It?" would be a great watch.

this guy helps me fall asleep at night. i watch his videos almost every night at bed time. it's something about his voice.
I swear to god same for me. 5 minutes and am out
Yes yes. I thought i was the only one. It is not they are boring, quite the contrary, but it's the soothing voice.
Yes. I listen as far as I can and I sleep so well after I doze off.
Absolutely the same here. Cheers David Butler!
Me too! It's his voice
I'm convinced that if I fall asleep to David Butler every night i will become a super brain
Edward Davies lol im the same
nah, you wont learn much bud
Well, I don't know about getting smarter, but I can definitely fall asleep listening to that voice.
Astronomical ASMR
yep, plan on doing the same hehehe. smart man, great voice, what more ya want.
No loud music, no fast cutaways, no pop-culture references, just pure knowledge. How refreshing!
That was wonderful. You get my first comment ever. Why do I find that this gives me a sense of well being and comfort?
"thank you for uploading these videos. Even if I'm having a hard night, I just put a relaxing astronomy video on and listen. It always makes my nights go much easier.

We have to give him a +1.
I have been chewing all the old documentaries over and over again. I needed this deeper look into the work of the astronomers. Like fresh fruit compared to rotten from previous year.

high quality, easy to understand. Thanks again.
I was so excited to see you added this!! Huge fan of your videos David Butler. :)
An ocean of stars. So amazing! Makes me wonder everyday. We know a little bit but if we are honest we know almost nothing. Nevertheless, great video!
...I mostly just know about possums... ...
LMAO
Thank you professor !!

Incredible images, CGI and brilliant commentary.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks for being our astronomy teacher.

13:33 Magnetars are incredible! David you have a great channel! Thank you!
Such a great presenter! Thanks David

You are doing a great work sir. Thank you so much
I wish I had listened to podcast like this, I might took astronomy as major subject in grad school. Thank you, David Butler.
Great video as always. Look forward to 2017 and beyond.
Big fan , however stressful the day is always go back to David butler before going to sleep . His knowledge and dedication aside , his voice has total hold over me ...
I love these videos!
You can chill with the noise gate in the narration, tho.
You did it again David, 10/10! I can't wait to see your next video
I like your videos a lot. And your choices of background music are just right. The way you explain this complicated matter is wonderful explained and your voice and tempo (speed) just very enjoyable to listen too.

Bravo! Thank you so much for your series
The Milky Way Galaxy: distances, globular cumulus and rotation curves. Magnificent views of the Galaxy.
Mr. Butler, normally, although I really do try, and am interested, most excessively technical descriptions of the universe can't hold my interest for long, as I'm not up on complex science. But you have a way of allowing me to really appreciate these things much more than I usually ever could. Thank you. Look forward to more!
David, thank you for video, really entertaining and informative, Greetings from Latvia.
love the fax machine. didn't know you were a collector of antiquity. love your videos. thanks
15:15 Magnatar starquake - I've seen these with the naked eye in 2018. Absolutely incredible!
Thank you David Butler for the Galactic tour. Enjoyed the information and the visuals.
excellent update M.Butler !
Thank you, Mr. Butler for your excellent vidoes!

Take a look at the 'How far away is it' video on the Milky Way. See if that answers your questions. If not, ask them again on that thread. Thanks.
Ok.
Thank you David for all your wonderful knowledge sharing!
Thanks for another great video! I cannot wait for How Old Is it? I'm pretty sure I know how it will start- you will begin in your backyard and begin to go back in time until the Big Bang. Then you will cover topics in cosmology.
good work very informative thanks 🌏🌎🌍
I really love watching these kinds of photos...
a beautiful job, David. Thankyou.
Damn your voice is beautiful.

Jesse, Thanks for you comment. I'll be working on an update to the segment on the Milky Way soon. I'll try put your orientation idea in.
David Butler
thank you so much for the consideration. I’m sorry if the copy and pastes of this comment seemed a bit much. But my family literally watch your videos constantly and we often talk about “our” orientation in space.
Fantastic. I so appreciate your thoughts and skill in teaching us in layman's terms. Well done.Thankyou
David, how do we know the burst from the magnetar comes from a centimeter wide crack on the surface of the star so far away? Enjoyed the video!
목소리 좋으십니다! 발음도 너무 좋으시고… 귀에 쏙~들어와요^^
I agree. Relaxing
what a nice way to say :)
You're the best. Thanks.
Amazing contribution! Stunning mysterious cosmos!! Thank you!
comprehensive update! Thanks for spreading Science!

David Butler can't wait. I love your videos!
I love listening to you. Thanks David.
Very nice and informative video.
God bless you Sir.
Interesting, fascinating and so intelligently academic ! Thank you Sir !
What about the two weird artificial-looking objects about 9:00 in? (in Trumpler 15).
(I'm amazed the resolution is there to zoom in so much.)
They are dense knots of gas and dust that completely block light from getting through.
Wow. I guess it's possible that random agglomerations of dust and gas could look very artificial/straight-line/sharp-angles.
The heavens are absolutely astonishing thank you for sharing with us !
Thank you David, nice video.
2:15 interesting how much of everything and 'cycles' we deal with are on a plain nearly totally inline with us, the planetary orbital plain.
