Sometimes, when I need to be somewhere else, anywhere else, I find myself with you. And I'm transported to a new place, far from here, and the worries are gone.
I know that Neptune and Triton are more interesting for science, but I am fascinated by the Uranian system. I wish it would be possible for me to travel and stand on Titania one day! Thanks for a wonderful video.
So, dear sir: Mendelssohn, because characters from Midsummer's Night's Dream. Holst, because Uranus ("The Magician") And Stravinsky because the Right of Spring is supposed to reflect the "cracking of the ground in spring, when the frozen earth moves due to the deep frost melting", like what happened to those moons. Very, very, very clever. And made the heart of this classical musician glad!
Hey Parallax, since a few people are mentioning sound, music and level issues, let me just give you a practical hint when it comes to sound business: a compressor. Very handy for automatically regulating/squashing/pumping up sound levels. After binge watching your entire channel in two days, i will now patiently wait for what's next :) Thank you for a great time!
Really a well- written, wittily-written script, vivaciously-delivered. Excellent use (and unexcessive) of memes. Thoroughly enjoy the distant history and the survey of recent scientific thinking. Just fun and informative.
Damn dude, your gonna definetly make it big eventually. I fucking love this channel. I really like how long they are. A+ again my friend. Likes on here and Facebook.
And the Paul brothers get billions of views 😧 kids should be learning something about history and the universe instead of that crap. I love your channel man, keep it up and hopefully we can reach some of them kids.
The music throughout most of the video, while fitting & appropriate, seems to get a bit to loud, almost to the of not being able to understand what you are saying; specifically this happens twice, at about 12:00 & 23:30. Still, perhaps I could use a better pair of headphones.
Brilliant, Awe inspiring, the amount of time and research it must take to produce such a comprehensive and we'll balanced program is mind boggling to me. These videos eclipse anything of a similar nature. I would love for these to reach the mainstream public .A really big thank you for enlightening us on all of these subjects.
john murray I helped him with one bit of research from a Facebook request. Spent an hour on it and I reckon I influenced maybe a sentence and a half.. Heaven knows what work he puts into each episode...
Thank you, that was amazing. Each decade I find myself constantly just dismayed that we are not sending any other missions out to the ice giants. I think there is much we can learn from them, our one brief flyby just seems like a taste in an otherwise gorgeous meal.
Enjoyed this immensely, music in background needs to be kept below voice level throughout as a few times it is too loud and a distraction. Well done squire
Neptune has fascinated me and held my attention captive from the first time I saw the Voyager images as a child. It’s beauty overwhelmed me and caused my young mind to explode with thoughts about things like How does it look like earth, What is like there, Can I ever go there in person ect....albeit some of theses questions were fueled by my adolescent imagination, they unlocked the Love and Passion for all things related to astronomy and changed my life forever. Because of how much of my life today is tied to that love of astronomy, I feel an eternal bond to Neptune....I remember watching Star Trek the Next Gen and thinking “I hope they go to Neptune, or I wonder if the Federation has an outpost on Triton”.....I love talking to people about what thing or things sparked their fascination with our solar system. I’m 36 today and haven’t found many “Neptunians” such as myself, but I’m not giving up on my search....haha....................By the way, Saturn and Jupiter are Overrated (obviously just kidding. Call it a bit of “Lack of Neptune attention envy”)
As a lover of astronomy every since I was a boy, when for Christmas I'd ask Santa for books on astronomy (no doubt my parents thoroughly loved this early development), ParallaxNick has showed me more new (to me), comprehensive information on the bodies of our solar system than I have encountered in decades.
this is a great channel. smart, well written script. great detailed information presented at an approachable pace. interesting content presented by a knowledgeable person who has obviously done enough research. funny and relevant graphics. I could watch all your videos in a row. I can't believe you only have 8k subs
When you look at the evidence of Triton's mass vs. the mass of all other objects orbiting Neptune, it's obvious that Neptune didn't capture Triton -- Triton captured Neptune, and then proceeded to evict or destroy all of Neptune's natural satellites that it could get its hands on. "My planet, no can has."
Absolutely love this series. Keep it up! Oh, and what's the story on the channel name change? I almost missed the last video because I didn't know about the switch.
love the music! yes the cuts are abrupt and weird but still rather this than nothing.. man i love this channel so much, i wish i could donate my audio production services somehow.
Absolutely wonderful. I love the depth and thoroughness of your research and it's very good to see another video from you. By the way, the music doesn't bother me at all - normal quiet background music.
I just really want to see another probe to Uranus and Neptune, they're very fascinating and seem to have been forgotten. An orbiter (and lander) for Triton would be great.
A dedicated mission (say a couple of large probes and a few cubesats) to each of the Ice Giants could keep researchers busy for tge rest of their lives.
My wish list includes: - 2 Cassini-like mission to Uranus and Neptune - 6 MRO-like missions to Io, Europa, Titan, Enceladus, Triton and the Pluto Charon system: orbiters yielding high resolution cartography - 4 Rovers on Mercury, Io, Europa and Ganimede. If all space agencies united It could be done :(
Great video, I loved the narration and music! Just one thing though, on 19:15 it says no orbiter is likely. What about the Uranus orbiter and probe proposal in development for a mid 2030s launch?
Halfway through this one and the music is so loud and distracting I'm having to rewind (age reveal, I know) which is not ideal. It would be great if you could re-release this with the music down 3+db. Thanks.
How it this guy on UA-cam wih 34k subs produce more entertaining documentaries from his home than NationalGeorgaphic does with millions of dollars for film budget?
That's been suggested by posters on my episodes before (I think mainly due to how much Titan dominates the Saturnian system) but it's unlikely. Titan doesn't act like a captured object; it has a prograde, flat, circular orbit as would be expected for a moon that formed with its planet, and it doesn't look like one- besides Ganymede and maybe Callisto, there is nothing in the Solar System even remotely as big as Titan that isn't a planet. Also, Saturn isn't in a particularly populated part of the Solar System so it's difficult to see what Titan could have been captured from.
What I don't understand the sun's light doesn't have much influence on those far away moons and planets bu they still are influenced by the sun's gravity. Either we don't understand light or we don't understand how gravity works
Sorry to burst your rather Macabre analogy but: Graben does not mean "Grave" in German, the word you are thinking of is "Grab." There is a German word "Graben" but it means "Ditch," which is somewhat less otherwordly.
🥔 👏👀 *! BRAVO !* I do however, think your theory on Miranda is a bit off the mark. In my estimation the retardation of the moon (you may want to write this down) was caused by ionic fields in the zotaic mineral culdorumn which is having a stratifying effect on the coronae from interaction with the stretching plasmadic filaments from the other moons. You were close in that the big tear is just a leftover toothmark from a teething baby Tiamat.
I love this channel! To my knowledge you really are the only one talking about moons and other objects that most astronomers & cosmologists won't even touch! And what a fucking waste! Excuse my language but it kind of pisses me off!
I agree with Celtic whisperer.... Ignore the requests for background music... It is only needed to distract viewers from the fact that a videos content sucks. Therefore your videos do not need the distraction!😁
A happy medium would be to have it fade out after a couple of minutes like marking chapters of a book. I feel a bit silly like a child critiquing the box his gift came in because that's the level of his comprehension. 🎁 🧐
Maybe it's me - I can listen to people talk, I can listen to music but I can't do both at the same time. I would love to watch this video - I find astronomy interesting. If you were to also upload a music free version I'd watch it for sure. Failing that, subtitles would be nice so I could kill the sound and still follow what's going on.
What's with the music? It's far too loud for the low volume levels of your narration. Why does your accent take on more and more of a haughty British tune with each video?
The soundtrack was an experiment I have not retried. As to my accent, well it's just what happens to American accents if they've been stranded in the UK for long enough.

This channel is like reading a most excellent book that never ends. Thank you Nick!
this channel is really under watched
What I love so much about your videos is how much you seem to love what you are talking about.
Love Stravinsky 's Rite of Spring in backround😀
Sometimes, when I need to be somewhere else,
anywhere else,
I find myself with you.
And I'm transported to a new place,
far from here,
and the worries are gone.
Feel the same way right now
@@EMERTHERofficial I hope you find the solace you seek.
ParralaxNick, don't listen to the naysayers, your videos are awesome with or without the music. Keep up the great work

Looove this video series. But that outro track was way too loud.
Love these videos - keep it up ParallaxNick

Fascinating topics, beautifully detailed research, presented in engaging way, keep up the great job Parallax Nick

Yes! I'm so happy this is here, your content is always enlightening.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I like the music you had playing throughout as well. Thank you for such amazing content!
"...relocated his observatory to Malta from the astronomically inhospitable climes of northern England." - two hits in one!

Fascinating as always. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful and evocative series.
Haven't had a chance to watch this one yet, but I can hardly wait!

Just discovered you today. Great video, very interesting and well researched. New subscriber here.
I can't get enough of this channel.
this is a great channel. smart, well written script. great detailed information presented at an approachable pace. interesting content presented by a knowledgeable person who has obviously done enough research. funny and relevant graphics. I could watch all your videos in a row. I can't believe you only have 8k subs
Outstanding. You are the penultimate researcher.
I like the background music, but you have it WAAAAAAY too loud my man.
Yeah and try fading it out when you switch to another song. That will grately enhance the video!
The outro music was 'rip headphone users'. The rest is fine but can use some finessing.
Yeah great video but agreed the music was to loud.
When you look at the evidence of Triton's mass vs. the mass of all other objects orbiting Neptune, it's obvious that Neptune didn't capture Triton -- Triton captured Neptune, and then proceeded to evict or destroy all of Neptune's natural satellites that it could get its hands on.
"My planet, no can has."
After having watched a few of your videos, I would like to say that your writing, dry wit, and content are excellent and appreciated. Thanks.
Do you ever use space engine to make images/video for your videos?
The whole series is a work of art. To think it cohabits a shared space with the billion 'cat got confused' videos. Keep it up, Sir!
Absolutely love this series. Keep it up! Oh, and what's the story on the channel name change? I almost missed the last video because I didn't know about the switch.
People couldn't search for my old name, so I picked one that was easier to remember :-)
dense information, i think is the only documentary on the topic!!! awesome!!!!
You do a great job! I really enjoy your programs! Thank you!
Excellent presentation ❤
love the music! yes the cuts are abrupt and weird but still rather this than nothing.. man i love this channel so much, i wish i could donate my audio production services somehow.
Holy cow I think I've watched every one of your vids
Absolutely wonderful. I love the depth and thoroughness of your research and it's very good to see another video from you. By the way, the music doesn't bother me at all - normal quiet background music.
I was waiting for you to upload the next installment!
Ive never heard of how Miranda's oddities may be the result of orbital resonances. Very cool!
I just really want to see another probe to Uranus and Neptune, they're very fascinating and seem to have been forgotten. An orbiter (and lander) for Triton would be great.
Rite of spring works really well for ice giant stuff! (def a bit loud sometimes!) Great stuff, worth the wait :)
Absolutely awesome job!!!!!!!!
I love you, Nick!! 🫀🖤🫀
We need a Cassini Mission for each one; Uranus and Neptune. Please NASA, please ESA, let it happen.
A dedicated mission (say a couple of large probes and a few cubesats) to each of the Ice Giants could keep researchers busy for tge rest of their lives.
My wish list includes:
- 2 Cassini-like mission to Uranus and Neptune
- 6 MRO-like missions to Io, Europa, Titan, Enceladus, Triton and the Pluto Charon system: orbiters yielding high resolution cartography

Yeeey finally a new episode :)
Excellent.
Posterity agrees with me, too. Great pun!
Very informative, thank you.
This method has been previously used for moon searches around Neptune and Uranus
I love the inclusion of The Rite of Spring as the background music
Testing the gravity tractor theory by accelerating Triton would be cool
Halfway through this one and the music is so loud and distracting I'm having to rewind (age reveal, I know) which is not ideal. It would be great if you could re-release this with the music down 3+db. Thanks.
How it this guy on UA-cam wih 34k subs produce more entertaining documentaries from his home than NationalGeorgaphic does with millions of dollars for film budget?
A little late to watch, but I thought Titan was also a captured object?

Also, Saturn isn't in a particularly populated part of the Solar System so it's difficult to see what Titan could have been captured from.
Thank you for the response and explanation! Happy to have this information!
I love these videos. Space is cool!
Both literally and figuratively.
How about an episode on Galileo?
The spacecraft or the person?
Your background music is delightful as are the videos. But that way this music is a tad distracting though your taste is very good.
What I don't understand the sun's light doesn't have much influence on those far away moons and planets bu they still are influenced by the sun's gravity. Either we don't understand light or we don't understand how gravity works

Sorry to burst your rather Macabre analogy but:

You are good at this.
Dont we know that Venus is volcanically active?
No we don't. There's evidence, here and there, but nothing conclusive.
@@parallaxnick637 are you sure? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanology_of_Venus
NM. let me read past the first line before posting :/
No link in the description @parallax nick
Ah! Thank you!
just a minor point of order..It's James Naismith..not Neismith
🥔 👏👀 *! BRAVO !* I do however, think your theory on Miranda is a bit off the mark.

You were close in that the big tear is just a leftover toothmark from a teething baby Tiamat.
10:51 Rite Of Spring incoming.
love the videos :)
"Remeber, Triton is sideways"
Please reduce the music tracks to 5 seconds and reduce the volume 75%.
1:21 It's Naismith. Oh well...
32:39 Earbuds detonate
"Graben" does not mean "grave", but "trench". "grave" is "Grab" in German. The verb "to dig" is "graben" too.
If I had a choice, no background music.
Love your videos, but not the music haha
musics a bit loud
Yeah I kinda screwed up the sound on that one.
I love this channel! To my knowledge you really are the only one talking about moons and other objects that most astronomers & cosmologists won't even touch! And what a fucking waste! Excuse my language but it kind of pisses me off!
"Graben" does not originate from the German word for "grave", "Graben" is the German word for "ridge", or "canyon"
4:28 The reason you clicked this video 😉
Love the video, thought the music unnecessary
That's why I don't use it anymore
Came here to see if there were any "don't moon uranus at me" jokes. Were disappointed.
I pronounce "Uranus" as "Urine-us" precisely to avoid jokes like that :-)
Graben more accurately means trenches. That's what they were going for, not graves.
MUSIC IS LOUD
AND SUCH DISTRACTION
CAN YOU FIX IT
stopped 2 mins in - distracting and unnecessary background music
Sheesh. People ask for background music, then complain when I put it in. :-(
Ignore the request for background music, they are simpletons.
I agree with Celtic whisperer.... Ignore the requests for background music... It is only needed to distract viewers from the fact that a videos content sucks. Therefore your videos do not need the distraction!😁

Not to worry. Humans will consume both Triton and Neptune as we build out our Dyson Sphere.
