Ah yes 2am the night before school...I MUST watch
-
For those wondering. A dobsonian telescope is better known in Europe as a Newtonian telescope or mirror telescope
-
Fraser! Thank you so much for the shout out! I didn't even believe it at first when I saw a comment about it! I really really appreciate it!
-
You misunderstood the question about witnessing an eclipse from the moon. I'm fairly sure they meant what would it look like if you were on the moon, and the Earth blocked the sun. That's the only scenario in which the question, "How long would totality last?" would make sense.
-
The future of space astronomy has me super friggin excited :D
-
Thx again, your show is so unfairly underrated! According to me it's one of the best of its kind, you deserve so much more audience!
-
Why don't they build landers that can land in any orientation and then right themselves? Having your expensive space machine tip over at the last moment is just soul-crushing.
-
Bring on the Double Hubble!
-
Please Fraser, if you did a series on making a cheap Dobsonian we would all be eternally grateful. There aren’t many good videos, and I would love to watch you do it and learn!
-
Your newsletters, podcasts and youtube posts are simply incredible. I fail to see how you can amass this body of knowledge and package it so well in a form that is so accessible to laypersons. Thank you!
-
Treating an eclipse like a heist is a clever way to describe it. 👍
-
I fell in love with space, stars, planets and Moons as a child. I this fellow Canadian loves your work. Thank you!!!
-
1. Are the gas giants just heavy 'rocky' planets with really thick atmosphere? 2. If not, what is the planet mass threshhold (or any other way) to tell if a planet is a gas or ice giant or rocky/ocean world with really thick atmosphere? Can there theoretically be a planet that is difficult to classify?
-
Thank you for the piece on backyard telescopes!!!
-
"If you'd asked a planetary scientist 5 years ago, they'd respond 'I don't know.'" "This was discovered in 2019." Time really is flying, ain't it, Fraser? (I mean, it may have been discovered in the second half of 2019…)
-
Mind officially blown! Can't wait to see what discoveries await us with the bigger JWST and the prospect of exploring gas giants. Science never fails to amaze!
-
I just checked out the cosmos elementary channel you plugged and I’m blown away. I can’t believe it has only that many subscribers. It’s perfect. Thanks for the recommendation. I have a lot of videos to binge now
-
Thanks for answering my question! 😀
-
Oh man these are some amazing questions, please keep doing videos like this! You are the best at explaining anything related to space!
-
My vote is for Andoria. Great question, great answer.
