I remember Hyakutake. I was 8 years old, and my parents drove us a couple of hours out of Denver into the mountains to see it. I remember it was basically just a very dim, fuzzy dot you could only really see if you didn't look directly at it. But learning now that Hyakutake might have been an interstellar object makes that memory that much more profound.

Congratulations on getting a chair and a set to film on, instead of just a green screen. Feels like a real step up for SciShow. 🙂

I did not realize that the Voyager probes have not gone through the Oort cloud. Wow. That gives me a reason to hope they live another 30 years.

Also the thought of a piece of our solar system one day teaching aliens about our home kinda warms my heart and makes me feel a little less small in our very, very large universe.

ʻOumuamua visited our system in hopes of snagging Reid’s chill aloha shirt.

I'm happy that Comet Hyakutake is considered a possible visitor to our Solar system as this was the first comet I recall seeing that looked like a "proper" comet. I recall watching Hyakutake visibly move against the background stars in '96, a warmup for Hale-Bopp.

Reid has a chair now, and a room with retro decor. Hank, eat your heart out. Reid has style and panache!

The only thing better than getting a shot of science from Reid is a double shot. Keep up the great work!

Having veen lucky enough to co-author a paper on 2I/Borisov, I'm always happy to see it represented :D But also: I haven't had time to keep up with papers on it since, but it's really nice to see that entirely different avenues of study (we used a... rather obscure one) come to the same conclusion! Because we also said that the comet likely never went close to its parent star before escaping its solar system

I'm diggin' the Casual Reid-ing Corner vibe, gives his shirts a chance to play their role in viewership 😄

Dear SciShow, Please do an episode about chronic kidney disease! My dad has been diagnosed and is like to get the run down the SciShow way! All these other videos aren’t getting me the info I need! Thanks! A concerned daughter

I love the casual nature of the set... It's oddly refreshing!
