Hi Fraser. Watched hundreds of your vids and never seen mid-rolls. Thank you for keeping them off. No mid-rolls is actually one of the reasons I watch your amazing content.
Don't think I've ever seen a mid or end of video ad on your channel, what makes it so great to watch while going to sleep with out the interruptions, then watch again from the last point i remember when i wake up in the morning
Talking about the milky way reminded me of a wild story of when there was a huge blackout in one of the states and hundreds of people freqking out posting about strange clouds in the sky... it was just their first time seeing the milky way. /sigh so silly but sad for them that they didn't know of it, and that it's not just a nighty thing.
I'll never forget the streetlight regulations I saw while living in Tucson, AZ where the biggest local Dark Sky Lobby in North America exists. The lights point down away from the sky. Many are orange colored. And swaths of neighborhoods (even sketchy ones) were dark from a lack of streetlights, or had intermittent streetlights. And the Starparties at the UofA in the mall outside the Astrophysics Dept were next level - guys with big Astrophysics Brand Refracting Telescopes.
Here in Denmark we started pointing down lights or shielding them over 10 years ago. This new study is VERY interesting. Turns out that lights pointing up kills insects in billions each night. They try to fly parallel to the light and since it´s a circle they adjust millions of times getting tired and burning out energy so they die. If you point the lights down, close to a flat surface like a wall or even the pole the lights are installed on, you will break their pattern and they can escape the death spiral (The pole need to be to the side of the light, not in the middle and designed the right way to break the light). I have the article in Danish somewhere, very important information if we want to preserve our insects and birds and fauna, Heck lets say NATURE itself.
I haven't see midrolls... BUT sometimes I begin watching a video and pause it, got busy and then continue watching later or the next day. I believe the cache/connection is lost and when I resume, youtube assume it as the "beginning" of the video even if I'm in the middle and play ads. By the way, thanks for all the great content!

Mid rolls can still happen if RUclips is closed partway through the video. I'm not sure about the specifics for mobile but it's probably when the YT app gets fully closed (not just suspended). This happens to me for many videos and the ads play either when the video resumes or when the buffered video (from before closing) runs out. To users this looks like a mod-roll ad, but to YT it's playing the ad when it first fetched video data this session (last session was forgotten because the app closed or was OS terminated).

You sure nailed this one brother. I laughed a little bit and enjoyed, really enjoyed the solid lesson. The sounds you made today are the ones I'm chasing. I love the flexibility. A good lesson in temperance too and the notes. This scales. Jack funny thing, at 1:09.00 you spoke what I was thinking the whole time and that is another song. To sum it up I heard the licks to On the Road from the deep TLEO dive. How you play guitar is like how I golf. I'd like to take a leap and do what your doing. Your the best damn teacher I know, sir Jack from Notterdam 😊
Ads in the middle - I can't say for certain, but I don't think I've seen those. Ads at the end, though, are always shown. There was a short one at the end of this very episode, for instance.
Great video. Fingers crossed on seeing the comet. Comet West was fantastic back in the 70s and I’m ready to see another one top it before my last days. I own a telescope now but not then.
I've heard other creators complain about mid roll ads as well. Seems to be a youtube policy to just ignore your selection here (like it does for beginning and end slot ads). There is a really simple way for viewers to avoid this, creators just get screwed.
I remember to this day the first time I saw the milky way properly was on the prairies in Alberta Canada on the British Army training area at night and the aurora. I have been lucky enough to see it in Africa on the great plains of Africa and a few other places.
Likewise for me I got to see the Milky Way in the middle of PNG in an area without electricity and all the generators turned off as late at night. It was glorious.
I have ads at the end of the video. I don't remember if there were midroll ads... I'll try to remember to watch again, please remind me to check again at the beginning of the next video.
This year I became patreon supporter, so you don't need to put up too many ads. "unforrunately" I also pay for youtube premium so I can't tell anything about midroll ads 😁
I'd wager a crewed Mars mission is a more apt comparison to fusion power. Uncrewed sample return seems to only have been thought of in the last 10 years in the West.
JPL is currently evacuated. That means basically no one is on site and also most missions don't have the access to their data or any means of sending commands.
Where I grew up in Australia the stars were and still are incredible there. I remember there used to be sodium lamps in areas that massively reduced light pollution cause they only emit a few wavelengths but they're not a thing anymore, maybe they used more electricity. But living in the city now there are very few stars visible. I always think how could people let this happen to our night sky. Humanity has always looked at the stars up until we decided electric lighting was more important. In the outback you always see satellites going over and now the starlink chains too, they are nothing for back yard enthusiasts like you barely see anything at all in the city by comparison, the international space station is fun to see too.
Yeah so did I. In the '90s, my family and I went on a long road trip from Perth to Alice Springs and then on to Ayers Rock/Uluru. Camping while driving through the outback was the most vivid I can remember seeing the Milky Way. It was nuts. Something I'll never forget.
@@mrbaab5932 this isn’t true - sodium lights were monochromatic, and had no easily-scattered light from the blue end of the spectrum; modern white streetlights result in significantly more scattered light and skyglow
the hysteria of the Drones in new Jersey few weeks back had me thinking, people from Major Cities would loose their mind if they seen a true Dark sky 😂😂
There are fixtures that could be put over lighting that would reflect the light back to the ground where it was needed instead of shining into the sky. We just don't use them 😢
That's kinda neat, isn't it? The atmospheric pressure on Mars is about 90 times lower than on Earth, while Earth's atmospheric pressure is about 90 times lower than Venus. There's a wonderful and unexpected symmetry there. Or rather - it's very close to being wonderfully symmetrical.
I DO NOT get any ads, including end roll ads, but I do have a RUclips subscription, which may be the reason I do not see any ads. I enjoy your content very much, but also enjoy the content of others on RUclips.
Ten billion is really petty cash. The budget for the Department of Defense in 2024 was 841.4 billion dollars! That doesn't include various other pots of military spending. Maybe cancel some of the combat ships being built. As if naval warfare is still a thing. It's not WWII, guys.
2 Questions: could the "heart" on Pluto be the region where the two bodies made contact? Could this idea of a relatively gentle contact (presumably due to closely matched relative movement) be applied to re-entry paths to reduce the descent speed through the atmosphere and the destructive heat generated, maybe reducing the need for technically challenging heat shields?
A suggestion: Interview reputable biologists about the possible dangers of transporting Martian rocks with the potential of containing viable chemotropic microbes that could become invasive species to Earth’s ecosystem.
Hello I do not recall if there was an ad at the beginning of the video but there were two minute long #ads at the end of the video that I watched while typing this out. No mid-roll #ads, I paused the video a few times and the video would shrink to half window size with the other side being filled with a #advertisement banner image.
While the Starship option seems slightly cheaper, Starship has yet to return to earth in one piece, let along land on Mars in one piece, and then return home. I'd put more faith in NASA, who has a great track record of doing things right the first time.
I get ads at the beginning and at the end of every episode. But not in the middle. The first ad at the beginning was for Granger and the ending ad was for some beauty product that seemed like a scam.
Honestly, the Mars Sample Return rocket-launching lander sounds like a job for Red Dragon to me. If it'll work, I think it's the only way that we could possibly do it by 2028.
also got an add right after you said about the adds at the end of the video... (if it helps i took a screenshot that i could send you - i am on desktop)
Being subscribed with RUclips Premium for years I don't see inserted ads. The question got me curious about your revenue split between ads and Premium viewers?
Question for next week, did you hear about the space junk that landed in a Kenyan village this week, I believe it was a ring of some description around 8 foot in diameter. Wondered if you had any ideas which rocket it came from or who might own it?
At 10:09 you can see the Benelux, I live in a very densely populated area, and people from the ISS have said several times that when they fly over us at night, there is a bright spot of light. And it is getting worse and worse, because our cities are growing closer together, with even more stray light as a result. Where I live, even the North Star is invisible, the only thing I can see clearly when the ISS passes, on a clear day. And I can also see the Big Dipper. So I live in a bad area for astronomy. But I am a radio amateur and can paint a picture using a parabolic antenna. Although that gives less romantic images.
Dear Frasier: since the Apollo missions we have been monitoring the distance of the moon from the earth (it's orbit).
