Ladies and gentlemen, once again the youtube algorithm has rescued a video from oblivion by bringing us here. I, for one, am very grateful for the recommendation.
@@Lukesky2525 yeah, because not much happens in 5 months does it? Do you know how many hours of video are uploaded and viewed in that amount of time? Maybe you should calm down, especially when your point in no way negates what Ashutosh wrote. P.S - I’ll save you the time of suggesting I should in fact ‘calm down’; I’m good.
Ive been falling asleep to this for a long time. It’s a tragedy that I do fall asleep to it; because it’s one of most well written, informative, and well narrated documentaries Ive ever come across. It just so happens is ever so soothing as well.
Me too, I found it a couple years ago to muffle to sound of the neighbours rescued barn owls (sound like it should be nice but it’s a horrible noise!) I even subscribe to UA-cam so I can lock my phone with it on every night 😅
The combination of the soothing background music, the dreamy imagery, the fantastic writing, the silky-smooth and honey-rich voice, delivered in that wonderfully clean and sophisticated English accent, makes this an absolute joy of an experience.
If you like this style, I strongly recommend the channel "ParallaxNick" to you. He makes videos about the history of astronomical discoveries and has a very similar narrative style to this video here.
Thank you for offering valuable data about our Universe with this video. As someone whose quest it is to master the Universe, I find this upload to be of great assistance. Now let us see if you will keep your promise. -Thanos
I spent the whole time wondering if I would get tired. It was five a.m. before I dared to switch off. Thank you for the best I've heard in my lifetime. I'm listening to it for the second time.
From the moment I started to watch it, I could not leave or stop! The presentation became magnetic! Clear, precise from beginning to end! What a joy to watch and understand a bit!
Quite honestly, it's presentations like this that keep me awake at night. I think I can put one on and listen to it and fall asleep. But that doesn't happen. Quite the opposite actually.
@@BTugSnug 10 to 8 in the morning for me, just been awake all night with the Jake Paul & T Wood fight, I'm far too wrapped into this to turn it off lol, n it goes on for years😂
I was listening to something last night while I was sleeping, and I guess this came on. I was having dreams of a different worlds, stream of files and all the other stuff that this guy was talking about. The whole story bled into my dream, absolutely incredible. I'm definitely going to listen to this again while I sleep lol
The narrators voice was so good that I fell asleep while YT was playing and had a lucid dream about Mercury, I remember getting confused because I was dreaming of houses on the surface. I used to think it was BS that we could have someone narrating a story in our ear while asleep and dream about it.
This is exceptionally well written (and spoken), and full of interesting info not normally covered by most space docs. New favorite thing to watch at 3am
This video has quickly become my favorite. I have watched it a dozen times now and still find it absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing this
I’m obsessed with scale! As an engineer and a father of 4 boys, I’m constantly trying to explain to them just how big this universe is, and equally how small going the micro , they’ve gotten to the point of all chanting “things are big! Things are small!” If I start talking about it 😂 When I was maybe 10, I asked my dad how far a mile was and he said I’ll show you, we got into the car and drove to a country road, and he said starting now and drove a mile. I think about that moment all of the time and this video was like going back to that moment!! Thanks for a great video!!
That's an awesome dad. I would've loved to have had a dad who would've done that. It's such a simple idea but straight away teaches you while it's on your mind.
I had to do a double take on this to see if I had written it at some time in the past. 😆 I'm also an engineer, and also a father of 4 boys. They are all almost full grown now, but still live at home, and we still have regular conversations about scale, the infinite, relativity, or whatever comes up. It's been amazing to watch their progression from the crazy "what-ifs" of small children to well thought out, and even shockingly accurate, thoughts and theories about life, the universe, and everything.
Well if you want to give them a bit of scale of say just our Galaxy, You can do that with sand, Just one billion grains of sand would weigh about 11 tons, So that gives you some scale of just how large a number just one billion is to get our scale model started. So if you were to build a scale model of the Galaxy using grains of sand, And being that each star is about 5 light years apart on average in our Galaxy, on that scale you would have to put each grain of sand about 5 miles apart, now take into account our Galaxy has between 300 to 400 billion stars, so take about 300 billion or so Grains of sand, about 3300 tons, and put them on average 5 miles apart from each other, and that's about a scale model of our Galaxy using sand. Then take into account there are trillions of Galaxy's in our observable universe, some that contain trillions of stars. And the Galaxy's themselves about 10 million light years apart on average, And the farthest ones being billions of light years apart from each other.
Thank you so much for this video. I have trouble getting to sleep and distracting my mind and this always helps me focus on the video and drift to sleep. I've watched this several times now when I feel agitated and it always helps to calm me.
As much as I love to watch (and rewatch) a good documentary (from war to history to nature to astronomy), this is the best doc I have ever watched. I would not have been shocked to find Ken Burns had a hand in it, it has so much depth and information. I have watched it 4-5 times this month and look forward to many, many future viewings. Spectacular in every way.
Glad to know somebody else watches the same documentary multiple times. I do that too. I can't absorb the whole thing in one viewing. And this is so well done that it doesn't get old after one time. It's a topic that I love and an amazingly well done film. An rare occasion indeed. I will happily watch it again. I may watch it a half dozen times or more. That is what I do. Glad someone else gets that too.
Amazing! What collectively some humans can acheive and understand is quite astounding and can understand the saying "Beyond our understanding" there is so much out there, we will never learn about it all but the fact we keep trying says something about us mere mortals.
poetically inspiring, intelligent and highly informative to the layperson. Simplifies the science without treating the audience like idiots. A great example of what a good documentary should be.
@LeriusDoman I would have to agree with you in that, “because it is in fact a system, we may feel like we’re on an island but it is a solar system” or something similar as repeated throughout lol
I must have listened to this over 100 times since I first started binging space documentaries. I just got my heart broken and I used to listen to this when I stayed over at her house. I don’t think I can watch this anymore…I love her too much and this is tied to my memories of her…..I love you CM, I’m sorry I wasn’t stronger. 😢
This has been one of thee most in-depth and inquisitive videos / audio sessions I have ever encountered over the vast amount of years I've spent browsing / listening to, to quench my curiosity of our place on this crazy rock. The ambient sounds in the background with the smooth choice of words coupled with your tone of passion for the project was outstanding. My god it was just perfection. Some information has been updated over the past two years (It's a fast moving market of knowledge as of late) and of course the James Webb Space Telescope has been successfully launched and positioned, so, I would burst with joy if you could make another video or even just let us know if one is in the works. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us, it was simply beautiful.
Incredibly precise and educative documentary. It gives so much detail into "what" and "how" it was made possible to us, to understand so much about stuff happening so much beyond our natural human reach.
I’m listening to this again for the fourth time …. And each time I learn new information. I think this Astronomy presentation is one of the very best videos ever made on Solar System Science Astronomy with using and connecting Astrophysics, Chemistry, and Biology. OMG THANK YOU !!! ❤
This was done perfectly. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderfully drawn out, well explained and very accurately detailed documentary of sorts. I have watched and listened to countless pieces regarding the cosmos and I must say.. none of them have come even remotely close to how well rounded and lengthy and informative that this has been. I have watched this and listened to this probably three dozen times. I often listen to it as I lay down to drift off to sleep but I always started off in a different place. Thank you again.
Superb documentary, well done. The graphics are beautiful, the script elegantly written and the narration is both comforting and authoritative. This is certainly one of the very best documentaries I have ever seen. You deserve a huge channel based on this output and I wish you all the very best of luck in creating such.
Good heavens! This was a neuron firing extravaganza! I watched as if my mouth was agape, during the entirety of this information deluge. I watched this in bits over three evenings. On this third and final night I just kept thinking how I wanted to share this with every curious mind I've met in life. There is so much information I'll have to rewatch this-- but I was nearly in tears with the volume of knowledge I gained watching this story. Thank you for the mind altering and enriching details. I can't wait to share, and rewatch.
I dont know when or how I stumbled on this video, but I absolutely love it. I think about it very often. Everything about this is what I seek in documentaries about the universe. From the narrator who's voice is absolutely perfect, to the information being provided, how the information is provided, the music in the background, the graphica used, and maybe most importantly, the reflection on our species; our history, our discoveries, our unique place in the universe, and our potential to do great things including maybe the greatest thing of all, overcoming the worst aspects of our race the destructive tendencies of humanity, to secure our future in this mysterious universe and the future of all of the humans that are yet to exist for centuries and hopefully milleniums to come
I listen to this frequently when I am going to sleep.. the narration is perfect for drifting off to sleep thinking about the universe and just how amazing every living thing is . . . and how amazing our solar system is . . .and our galaxy.. and all galaxies... I have had some pretty cool dreams driven from this video.
I always come back to this video. It's full of information and just keep me keen on learning more. Every time I watch it, I learn something new. Thank you
Errrrr.. sorry but I'm gonna be that guy. The Voyager Probes will lose power long before they actually exist our full solar system. Unless someone is out there and they find it, it'll speed silently in the icy darkness of the void, eventually being chewed away to dust by radiation.
One of the mysteries New Horizons brought us from its visit to Pluto was the discovery that Pluto, despite being "tiny" and so far from the sun, displayed active thermal geology. Although not directly proved, Pluto has shown signs that it may be warm enough to have liquid water underneath its surface, and hence the possibility of life in the same range that Europa or Enceledus might. The mystery? Where does that heat come from? It was thought that the residual heat from its formation would have long ago extinguished. One of the proposed theories is its moon Charon. Other than the Earth/Moon system, the Pluto/Charon system is the only other known example of two objects large enough to reach hydrostatic equalibrium and within significantly comparable to one another. Pluto and Charon's relative size is closer than that of Earth and its moon, and the orbital barometer is outside the two whereas the Earth/Moon barricenter is inside Earth. As Charon and Pluto orbit each other, the theory goes, the tidal forces between the two is keeping Pluto warm. If the theory holds, the same thing is most likely to be happening on Charon as well. This opens the possibility of liquid water on more distant and possibly older pairs of objects of a large enough size that orbiting each other. I'm not sure how masive those two objects have to be but if the theory holds, it may play out that this is another phenomenon that kicks in when objects are large enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium. This is something we learned because at the time of the New Horizon's launch, Pluto was still considered a planet, and hence rated a budget that would include a probe being sent to it. Sadly, because of its downgrading, any future missions are doubtful and mysteries of one of the more interesting objects in the solar system will remain unresolved.
I very much agree. If I want to relax, doze, and meditate then this is one of my channels that I go straight to. Very soothing and incitement. There is another channel I enjoy as well in the same manner. If I remember correctly it is called cosmic voyages.
Perhaps the finest documentary on the interconnected relationship between the Earth, Mars, the solar system and our galaxy. The overall effect is a master class unifying the physical sciences.
"Well, quite wonderfully, we still don't know." So nicely put and I love it when scientists have no problem pointing out that there's things they don't know. Great narration, by the way!
It's interesting how they acknowledge that they simply dont know what's happening in our back yard, yet religiously certain that we all came from nothing that exploded and absolutely sure how long ago it happened.
@@whatsnext9512 not religiously certain.. god doesnt exist silly, we are scientifically certain that the big bang happened 13.7B years ago. (yes we even have a number) unlike god who died 2022 years ago? i think?
@@whatsnext9512 it's a theory. If course they dont know with 100% certainty, so far it just fits with observations, calculations, and data. If something were to come along and challenge the current view point then it will be modified to fit the data and observation. The only dogma in science is truth.
THANK YOU!!!!! A thousand times thank you!! To me these are the principles and practices that will carry humans into the future with a positive attitude. I am glad to have found this and will practice these guidelines with my family. I thank you personally for taking the time to post this video.
I really like these videos. With each view I pick up something new and interesting. The utter vastness of the universe I'm still trying to get my head around.
Ive never heard this narrator before. He narrated this documentary to the level of mastery. I'm just such a huge fan of his now because I've never heard him before. He's so perfect for this that's it's almost humorous in a way.
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject and I have to say this is by far the best video I have ever watched. You present questions and answers that are not addressed by other videos. Thank you !! We'll done !!
This must have been months of work just writing the script. I caught myself nodding off a few times (I am 75 years old so that’s to be expected) but I’m determined to view the entire 3+ hours. But in 1 hour segments. Carl Sagan would have loved this. The narrator has excellent elocution.
Please don't take this as an insult, but the content on this channel is great to fall asleep to. I end up having epic dreams (and sometimes nightmares) about space exploration. 10/10.
Absolutely loved this video....so far I've only one issue...at 37:52 it's stated that the sun will go from a white dwarf to a brown dwarf.....brown dwarf are failed stars not big enough to undergo the fusion state to become a red dwarf star. The sun will end its life shining as a white dwarf for 10s or even 100s of billion of years until it simply doesn't emit any heat and will become a black dwarf star. A dead, cold and black star.
There will be a brief (comparatively) moment when it will be a brown dwarf, yes. It's not just failed stars that are brown dwarfs, because the type includes a *temperature set,* not so much a starting point.
SERIOUSLY, so many programs are punched up these days with irrelevant B-roll, obvious/known information, and pointless suspense; this one is refreshing. I LOVE THIS PRODUCTION! I wish programs like this make it back mainstream on streaming sites. Even Curiositystream is failing to overproduced educational shows. They'll probably just do reality shows too, like all the other ones (History Chan, TLC, Discovery Chan...) by 2024.
Studies revealed that the Sun is loses 1 mile every year. If this is so ,it was 93 million miles from the Earth, how long ago since this as been happening? How many miles is The Sun from the earth now?
This is main stream now. I and apparently you are old and its hard to grasp that those dinosaur cable networks you mentioned are dying. Give it 20 years and that shit ends up the same place as the Dumont network.
I wonder how long ago it would have been for someone to be called a loon for thinking that one day we would see the stars and planets up close using different rocks and crystals and lightning! If that isn't wizardry, I don't know what is. Thank you for the inspiration. ~ DreadfulBride
I really liked what he said at the end. I always believed that space travel is almost a suicide mission because people don’t understand how big and how far away everything is but maybe we do need to take that step.
Watching this video is the same as solving the mysteries of the universe. I am overwhelmed with interesting facts. The universe is an unsolved mystery. Thank you for useful interesting information and beautiful views of the universe. It's like I've traveled the universe!
Wow! Some magical therorys expressed here. Impressive the amount of new exciting evidence uncovered by the Voyager mission over a 14 year exploration of our Galaxy 🤗
The more I get to read and know, the less my hope gets and far less the possibilities I give to find other intelligent life, given the things we know so far. It is really a pity that we waste our short existence time only to destroy our own so rare intelligent lives and beautiful world.
Yes, one wonders why the most dreadful aspects of humanity have always existed alongside our species' more elevated behaviours. Even our individual mentalities are paradoxical, as most of us have those same contradictory aspects at war within our very own natures. As Alexander Pope counselled, the proper study of mankind is (still) Man.
Ok, I couldn't remember what to type in to get here at 3am to fall asleep to, so I clicked a random video, scrolled to the end, and this popped up for recommendation next. What the heck. I didn't think it would work, but here we are.
Thanks so much for making this. I watched many videos about the topic covered, but frequently the small details were not covered. The way the information was delivered through the timeline was wonderful, and I loved the connection to the teams that received the info.
Brilliant documentary, with the wealth of information put across in an easily digestible and interesting, entertaining way. I couldn't pull away from watching it. Thank you. 👍👍👍
@waynejones1054 I agree - I couldn't pull myself away from it either. Laundry, dishes, cleaning -- nothing got done while I marveled at this outstanding presentation. And what a great narrator, too.
I didnt know this about myself but I only like sleep ambient videos with a messy, fluffly bed. If the covers are perfect and made up, it feels uncomfortable somehow lol Love these covers, thx!
Great doco, thankyou. At first thought the distant future for our Earth seems bleak for living things, until you recall it is only ten millenia since the first organised human settlements emerged, and since then in less 100 years after the first powered flight, humans have already walked on adjacent planets and sent robot explorers to the furthest reaches of the solar system. If we can hold it together, by ten millenia from now humans will certainly be an interstellar species.
So enjoyed this. What an exciting time to be alive. The overwhelming number of humans are still literally just coming out of the cave, and yet we. have Voyager!!!
When they wondered why Neptune was more blue with less methane, I wondered if it because of the high winds? Even if there's less methane to reflect the light in the blue shade, maybe the fact that when you look at one spot, the speed of the wind brings a lot of methane across the spot you're looking at. So if the winds are two hundred times as fast, when you look at the planet you are seeing 200 times more methane than is actually there, or more precisely it reflects a blue color 200 times more efficiently than the amount of methane would predict
I have made a promise(to my husband) to reply to EVERYONE on this Video!

Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us, it was simply beautiful.
This guy must have paid his friends to make all the over the top butt kissing comments LOL.
Tremendous video. Keep up the posting. Thx
😂😊
Incredibly precise and educative documentary. It gives so much detail into "what" and "how" it was made possible to us, to understand so much about stuff happening so much beyond our natural human reach.
I’m listening to this again for the fourth time …. And each time I learn new information. I think this Astronomy presentation is one of the very best videos ever made on Solar System Science Astronomy with using and connecting Astrophysics, Chemistry, and Biology. OMG THANK YOU !!! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
This was done perfectly. I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderfully drawn out, well explained and very accurately detailed documentary of sorts. I have watched and listened to countless pieces regarding the cosmos and I must say.. none of them have come even remotely close to how well rounded and lengthy and informative that this has been. I have watched this and listened to this probably three dozen times. I often listen to it as I lay down to drift off to sleep but I always started off in a different place. Thank you again.
Oi I k8
Same here!
Perfectly?!? Please if you call multiple mispronunciations of simple words perfect you fail at understanding what perfection is supposed to be
Pieces? Come down if your high horse. They are documentaries or content. Take it easy. Ur excitement offends me.
Exact same for me. Best sleep story and voice ever.
I woke up to this playing at 3am a few nights ago. I went back and listened to it while fully awake. Very well done!
this just happened to me. 1am eyeballs popped open bit ago listening to this going on. going back later.
I have the sweetest dreams and most restful sleep with this in my ear. Please keep making them!
Superb documentary, well done. The graphics are beautiful, the script elegantly written and the narration is both comforting and authoritative. This is certainly one of the very best documentaries I have ever seen. You deserve a huge channel based on this output and I wish you all the very best of luck in creating such.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree great job well done said keep up the work 👍 👏 😀
@@RandomDudeOneprobably the TV channel this was originally shown on
what is the original called?
Good heavens! This was a neuron firing extravaganza! I watched as if my mouth was agape, during the entirety of this information deluge. I watched this in bits over three evenings. On this third and final night I just kept thinking how I wanted to share this with every curious mind I've met in life. There is so much information I'll have to rewatch this-- but I was nearly in tears with the volume of knowledge I gained watching this story. Thank you for the mind altering and enriching details. I can't wait to share, and rewatch.
James. I love your wording. Very eloquently written. What an incredible series to watch ❤️
I dont know when or how I stumbled on this video, but I absolutely love it. I think about it very often. Everything about this is what I seek in documentaries about the universe. From the narrator who's voice is absolutely perfect, to the information being provided, how the information is provided, the music in the background, the graphica used, and maybe most importantly, the reflection on our species; our history, our discoveries, our unique place in the universe, and our potential to do great things including maybe the greatest thing of all, overcoming the worst aspects of our race the destructive tendencies of humanity, to secure our future in this mysterious universe and the future of all of the humans that are yet to exist for centuries and hopefully milleniums to come
This is a top 10 youtube video of all time. Simply amazing editing work, documentation, and explanation. ❤
Wow, thank you!
I learn more from this wonderful documentary than I do in class room.
I fell asleep with auto-play on and woke up to this. Now I’m watching it for more than a hour. What a gift from fate 🙌 Thank you!
Sometimes, I can forgive the algorithm for all the crap when something like this comes up!
I watch this every night So I can fall asleep. Literally every night. It’s wonderful.
I listen to this frequently when I am going to sleep.. the narration is perfect for drifting off to sleep thinking about the universe and just how amazing every living thing is . . . and how amazing our solar system is . . .and our galaxy.. and all galaxies... I have had some pretty cool dreams driven from this video.
Glad you enjoy it!
Programme 10/10. Narration 10/10.
Graphics as extended story telling aid 9*/10.
No need to say anymore!!
I'm a graphic.
I always come back to this video. It's full of information and just keep me keen on learning more. Every time I watch it, I learn something new. Thank you
How anyone can fall asleep to this is a miracle. There's literally an advert every 4 minutes.
UA-cam Premium, my friend. I canceled all the other subscriptions bc I'm on YT 100 times more than I ever was on the others.
I truly LOVE how it's not 100% impossible for the movie, "Star Trek: the Motion Picture," to actually still happen. Go, Vyger, Go! As it should be
Errrrr.. sorry but I'm gonna be that guy. The Voyager Probes will lose power long before they actually exist our full solar system. Unless someone is out there and they find it, it'll speed silently in the icy darkness of the void, eventually being chewed away to dust by radiation.
One of the mysteries New Horizons brought us from its visit to Pluto was the discovery that Pluto, despite being "tiny" and so far from the sun, displayed active thermal geology. Although not directly proved, Pluto has shown signs that it may be warm enough to have liquid water underneath its surface, and hence the possibility of life in the same range that Europa or Enceledus might.
The mystery? Where does that heat come from? It was thought that the residual heat from its formation would have long ago extinguished.
One of the proposed theories is its moon Charon. Other than the Earth/Moon system, the Pluto/Charon system is the only other known example of two objects large enough to reach hydrostatic equalibrium and within significantly comparable to one another. Pluto and Charon's relative size is closer than that of Earth and its moon, and the orbital barometer is outside the two whereas the Earth/Moon barricenter is inside Earth.
As Charon and Pluto orbit each other, the theory goes, the tidal forces between the two is keeping Pluto warm. If the theory holds, the same thing is most likely to be happening on Charon as well.
This opens the possibility of liquid water on more distant and possibly older pairs of objects of a large enough size that orbiting each other.
I'm not sure how masive those two objects have to be but if the theory holds, it may play out that this is another phenomenon that kicks in when objects are large enough to reach hydrostatic equilibrium.
This is something we learned because at the time of the New Horizon's launch, Pluto was still considered a planet, and hence rated a budget that would include a probe being sent to it. Sadly, because of its downgrading, any future missions are doubtful and mysteries of one of the more interesting objects in the solar system will remain unresolved.
I very much agree. If I want to relax, doze, and meditate then this is one of my channels that I go straight to. Very soothing and incitement. There is another channel I enjoy as well in the same manner. If I remember correctly it is called cosmic voyages.
Perhaps the finest documentary on the interconnected relationship between the Earth, Mars, the solar system and our galaxy. The overall effect is a master class unifying the physical sciences.
"Well, quite wonderfully, we still don't know." So nicely put and I love it when scientists have no problem pointing out that there's things they don't know. Great narration, by the way!
Well said!
It's interesting how they acknowledge that they simply dont know what's happening in our back yard, yet religiously certain that we all came from nothing that exploded and absolutely sure how long ago it happened.
@@whatsnext9512 not religiously certain.. god doesnt exist silly, we are scientifically certain that the big bang happened 13.7B years ago. (yes we even have a number) unlike god who died 2022 years ago? i think?
@@whatsnext9512 it's a theory. If course they dont know with 100% certainty, so far it just fits with observations, calculations, and data. If something were to come along and challenge the current view point then it will be modified to fit the data and observation. The only dogma in science is truth.
I'm attempting to watch it thoroughly tonight/morning
THANK YOU!!!!! A thousand times thank you!! To me these are the principles and practices that will carry humans into the future with a positive attitude. I am glad to have found this and will practice these guidelines with my family. I thank you personally for taking the time to post this video.
Wonderful!
I really like these videos. With each view I pick up something new and interesting. The utter vastness of the universe I'm still trying to get my head around.
Cool, thanks
Best documentary I've seen in a long time. Thanks
I really wanted to enjoy it but I couldn't take them talking about photographs but showing us these renderings instead
I cant even imagine the amount of research and work that goes into making such an informative and well executed documentary. Kudos!
Just for the majority of the views being people using it to fall asleep 😂
well so im not the only one 🤣 @@theshibby1337
AS LONG AS YOU LIKE FANTASY!!!!!
@@theshibby1337 lmao, I watched something last night and this popped up while I was already sleeping :D
@@timarc9895I think I knew everything from an astronomy class in junior college and UA-cam documentaries.
Aside from the mesmerizing voice, the poetic language is awesome.
Ive never heard this narrator before. He narrated this documentary to the level of mastery. I'm just such a huge fan of his now because I've never heard him before. He's so perfect for this that's it's almost humorous in a way.
The last half hour is an amazing, thought inspiring monolog.
Indeed!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject and I have to say this is by far the best video I have ever watched. You present questions and answers that are not addressed by other videos. Thank you !! We'll done !!
Glad it was helpful!
"we are part of the grand living universe. We are not God's children, but we are not alone"
So well spoken
From the start of this video isn’t it wonderful to be wowed by how amazing human beings can be!
This must have been months of work just writing the script. I caught myself nodding off a few times (I am 75 years old so that’s to be expected) but I’m determined to view the entire 3+ hours. But in 1 hour segments. Carl Sagan would have loved this. The narrator has excellent elocution.
Space ✅️
Calm well spoken narrator ✅️
Gentle background music ✅️
We found us something to pass out to and pretend i'm learning
I've been trying to find some video that will play for most of the night to help me sleep. I think I've found it, thank you Poster. 😉😘
This documentary has opened my mind to the unknown and inspired me to revise my life memories to better fit with my newly opened eyes. Thank you.
Please don't take this as an insult, but the content on this channel is great to fall asleep to. I end up having epic dreams (and sometimes nightmares) about space exploration. 10/10.
same here I have had both extremes and enjoyed it all.
Absolutely loved this video....so far I've only one issue...at 37:52 it's stated that the sun will go from a white dwarf to a brown dwarf.....brown dwarf are failed stars not big enough to undergo the fusion state to become a red dwarf star. The sun will end its life shining as a white dwarf for 10s or even 100s of billion of years until it simply doesn't emit any heat and will become a black dwarf star. A dead, cold and black star.
There will be a brief (comparatively) moment when it will be a brown dwarf, yes. It's not just failed stars that are brown dwarfs, because the type includes a *temperature set,* not so much a starting point.
SERIOUSLY, so many programs are punched up these days with irrelevant B-roll, obvious/known information, and pointless suspense; this one is refreshing. I LOVE THIS PRODUCTION! I wish programs like this make it back mainstream on streaming sites. Even Curiositystream is failing to overproduced educational shows. They'll probably just do reality shows too, like all the other ones (History Chan, TLC, Discovery Chan...) by 2024.
As any tree roots are grass roots was found in your searches,?If the Answers is yes, that is why we would believe that life was once existed.
Good teaching skills
NASA, please expand, the reason why Mars was wet ,and freezing 3 1/2Billion years ago, was rainfall detected?.
Studies revealed that the Sun is loses 1 mile every year. If this is so ,it was 93 million miles from the Earth, how long ago since this as been happening? How many miles is The Sun from the earth now?
This is main stream now. I and apparently you are old and its hard to grasp that those dinosaur cable networks you mentioned are dying. Give it 20 years and that shit ends up the same place as the Dumont network.
I wish I'd had this guy as my teacher at school his voice is mesmerising .and i would have listened to every word he spoke and learned so much 😣
I wonder how long ago it would have been for someone to be called a loon for thinking that one day we would see the stars and planets up close using different rocks and crystals and lightning!
If that isn't wizardry, I don't know what is.
Thank you for the inspiration.

I really liked what he said at the end. I always believed that space travel is almost a suicide mission because people don’t understand how big and how far away everything is but maybe we do need to take that step.
The only space documentary ever with personal opinions and irony. Impossible not to love!
I love this when I go to sleep. So soothing. Are there more videos with this narrator to be found?
Watching this video is the same as solving the mysteries of the universe. I am overwhelmed with interesting facts. The universe is an unsolved mystery. Thank you for useful interesting information and beautiful views of the universe. It's like I've traveled the universe!
Wonderful!
I listen at night to calm my mind and body; I listen during the day to learn. 10/10 channel.
Wow, thanks!
Wow! Some magical therorys expressed here. Impressive the amount of new exciting evidence uncovered by the Voyager mission over a 14 year exploration of our Galaxy 🤗
Wow, thanks!
The more I get to read and know, the less my hope gets and far less the possibilities I give to find other intelligent life, given the things we know so far. It is really a pity that we waste our short existence time only to destroy our own so rare intelligent lives and beautiful world.
Yes, one wonders why the most dreadful aspects of humanity have always existed alongside our species' more elevated behaviours. Even our individual mentalities are paradoxical, as most of us have those same contradictory aspects at war within our very own natures. As Alexander Pope counselled, the proper study of mankind is (still) Man.
A finely narrated film with many insights. A perfect summary about what we know about the solar system. Very good
Have watched so many times while falling asleep.
I find this to be really calming, especially after a rough day. :o)
Such brilliant documentaries cure the blues, help relax during a sleepless night and restore my faith in the human race. THANK YOU!
Ok, I couldn't remember what to type in to get here at 3am to fall asleep to, so I clicked a random video, scrolled to the end, and this popped up for recommendation next. What the heck. I didn't think it would work, but here we are.
Just remember "bizarre." It will always get you home.
Thanks so much for making this. I watched many videos about the topic covered, but frequently the small details were not covered. The way the information was delivered through the timeline was wonderful, and I loved the connection to the teams that received the info.
Lovely, we try hard, more to come!
Absolutely beautiful, sensational, gorgeous , awe inspiring but totally relaxing to watch. I simply never tire of this.
Thanks for supplying this.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you to everyone who had a hand in producing this and all other videos on this channel.
This was playing as I was asleep and it was the best dream I've had in a long time
same, so relaxing
Brilliant documentary, with the wealth of information put across in an easily digestible and interesting, entertaining way. I couldn't pull away from watching it. Thank you. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
@waynejones1054 I agree - I couldn't pull myself away from it either. Laundry, dishes, cleaning -- nothing got done while I marveled at this outstanding presentation. And what a great narrator, too.
Honestly, it is so good to spend quality time with you! I could never fall asleep on this!!!!
You're the best!
Superb production, based on facts as we know them and... it unexpectedly even covered developmental mindset and existentialism! Thank you.
I'm honestly, blown away. This is one of the greatest documentaries I've ever watched. Looking forward to more from this well talented creator!
I didnt know this about myself but I only like sleep ambient videos with a messy, fluffly bed. If the covers are perfect and made up, it feels uncomfortable somehow lol Love these covers, thx!
Great tip!
Great doco, thankyou.
At first thought the distant future for our Earth seems bleak for living things, until you recall it is only ten millenia since the first organised human settlements emerged, and since then in less 100 years after the first powered flight, humans have already walked on adjacent planets and sent robot explorers to the furthest reaches of the solar system. If we can hold it together, by ten millenia from now humans will certainly be an interstellar species.
So enjoyed this. What an exciting time to be alive. The overwhelming number of humans are still literally just coming out of the cave, and yet we. have Voyager!!!
Thank you for this. I watch this and similar ones every night to wind down and sleep. The voice is calming , peaceful, and informative.
You're very welcome
It breaks my heart that Venus and mercury had moments of being earth-like planets
When they wondered why Neptune was more blue with less methane, I wondered if it because of the high winds? Even if there's less methane to reflect the light in the blue shade, maybe the fact that when you look at one spot, the speed of the wind brings a lot of methane across the spot you're looking at. So if the winds are two hundred times as fast, when you look at the planet you are seeing 200 times more methane than is actually there, or more precisely it reflects a blue color 200 times more efficiently than the amount of methane would predict
Then wouldn't the coloring be banded showing areas of higher and lower winds? Maybe it is...
This was amazing. I listened to this over a week. Wow. Simply the best documentary I’ve watched for ages.
Glad you enjoyed it
So informative and relaxing. It helps take me away from everyday life as well.
Glad you enjoy it!
I woke up to this. Excellent morning everyone.
Yeah this one is absolutely perfectly done. Thank you!
