Evolving Dark Energy // JAXA's Moon Rover for NASA // Eclipse Experience

I'm a simple man. I hear the words "baryonic acoustic oscillations", and I click like.

I recently found you, Frasier, and your channel, plus Universe Today, has reignited my passion for space and astrophysics

I must say the Toyota branding of the Japanese pressurised rover made me smile. You just know it will be reliable. Just a bit expensive if you break a tail-light or headlight moulding :-) .

Id love to hear an interview with someone at JAXA about thier diffrent approach to space missions than western space agencies.

Mr. Cain's channel is the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood of Astronomy. Always respectful, no inapproriate innuendos and always family friendly. Can anyone come up with something as catchy as "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighbood" kind of jingle for him. Mr. Cain, we all grew up with Fred Rogers and you are in good company. Thank you.

I can't believe this was your first solar eclipse! I was lucky enough to have caught the 1999 solar eclipse and it really was an indescribable moment.

we got lucky with the total eclipse as well, cloud coverage completely disappeared right before it started. Blessed to have the opportunity to watch one without having to travel anywhere!

I'm down for an RV trip across the Moon. It'd be even better with a lunar orbiter that looked like the Winnebago from Space Balls.

Just what Fraser has always wanted: reaction wheels that break even more easily… 😜

Having witnessed the 2017 eclipse in Hopkinsville Kentucky with my sons it was a no brainer that we travelled to Southern Ontario from Sudbury for the eclipse. Friends of mine from Hamilton joined us and with the weather forecast not looking so great we headed further south and found a ball park in Selkirk. I had planned to take video of totality but due to a camera failure on arrival I found myself absorbing the view with my own eyes the entire time. I regret nothing! Eclipse chasing is a great excuse to travel.

FRASER!!!! I drove from Austin to central AR to see the eclipse because the TX weather had me very very worried. So glad you got to see it!!!!

Some emergency lunar pogo sticks should be onboard the moon rover so the astronauts could bounce their way back to base amp in case the rover gets stuck on the far side. 🤔

The eclipse was amazing.. I got the chance to experience up in the Ozark mountains in northwest Arkansas.. I'm just mad at myself for recording video only, when I should've taken a few pictures as well since my phone tends to take higher quality photos compared to videos.. Now all I've got is a bunch of grainy videos and screen shots lol.

I totally agree with your emotions during the solar eclipse! For me, experiencing totality (2m20s at Vergennes, Vermont) was one of the greatest experiences of my life; right up there with reaching my first Rocky Mountain summit (11,600 ft), descending to the 6350 ft level in the Homestake Gold Mine (Lead SD), watching a NASA rocket launch from the VIP viewing area at Cape Kennedy; riding one of the new TGV high-speed trains in France, in 1982 (256 km/h). I don't think Iceland's infrastructure will be handle the influx of as many tourists coming as came to Vermont for this eclipse (estimated at 160,000), so I might head for Barcelona, Spain. Great show! Packed with lots of fascinating segments... as always! Thanks Fraser!

Absolutely love JAXA and their collaboration with NASA. Nippon!! 😍🎌

I’m on the edge of my seat every single time I watch your video . Thank you so much from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Thanks for all the news, Fraser! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

This was my second total eclipse, in beautiful weather. I feel blessed.

I live in Iceland, and I plan to watch the eclipse, however, I think the weather statistics for Spain might be more favorable for successful observation.

For the SLUSH mission, I hope they include similar detectors as used to listen to whale sounds in the ocean. It would make sense that if something evolved in an ocean world, then it would have evolved to use such a convenient method of communication as liquid reverberations.
