I cant imagine what it was like for our ancestors seeing the galaxy and an uncountable number of stars every clear night. For lifetimes. It must have been unbelievable. And now here I am, 20 years old, and like so many others have never seen the sky and truly appreciated our place among the stars
Not to mention the accelerating expansion of our universe, which makes it impossible for us to see previously visible objects, ('previously' could mean decades/centuries or even more, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact source I'm using here) that are not visible now, because they are on the other side of the universe, and the two points (Earth and said object) are moving away from each other faster than the speed of light. (this is an oversimplification of course; if I'm wrong please correct me!)
@@Leon-ts1nl Same for me! I was blown away by the production quality, especially for such a new & small channel. I think Jonny Hyman & Verse have huge potential & look forward to the next video!
I'm here because of Derek. But I stayed for the content. Great video, looking forward to the next. Also, I rarely ever 'like' a video, but this one got one.
Badlands National Park is the place to go. Yellowstone is surrounded by towns and has several hotels, it might not seem like much but it causes mild light pollution. Badlands is in the middle of nowhere, it's the best night sky I've ever seen.
It's rare that I'll subscribe to a channel that is so small because the quality usually isn't there, this video was amazing, looking forward to the next one.
Great storytelling skills! The ten minutes passed without even noticing it, in the end I was like "wait, what? Is it over already?" Glad that Derek recommended your work! Thanks for the content and keep it up!
it is my dream, the only experience on my bucket list, to go to space. it is people like you who continually kindle the fire inside of me to achieve what I need to do, to do that thing. thank you verse! excited for your future videos!
Back when i was a kid i remember seeing the night sky filled with few hundreds of stars, struggling to keep count of them. Today i am able to count the number of stars with my fingers. Really hope we can do something about this :(
Johnny your storytelling in this video is exceptional! You had me glued the whole time. So you mind if I ask, how did you do the animated sketch parts of your video?
It's funny.. I was just talking to a friend of mine about this just the other day. I've never seen the milky way as bright as we've all seen exhibited in pictures, and understanding that I live in a collegetown, I don't think I'll be seeing anything like it anytime soon. This is all new to us, but we look forward to seeing the progress!
I hear ya! Most night sky time lapses are long exposures too, so you often can't really SEE the bands of the milky way, only as faint clouds. I tried at 1:52 to show how it *really* looks to the human eye to be out in a dark sky site
I did the same with my grandpa when he was alive, the impact when you’re a kid and looking at the night sky.. it changes the meaning of curiosity forever.
The way you say makes me really feel the context, & this is the same reason I love Derek's videos, and you really made me pause and ponder for a moment... Your way of expressing the context and the short videos used in this video are mesmerizing.. it's silly how we always get so busy in our daily routine that we forget about our fundamental existance, The Universe, which in short is what we are🖤.. Hope to see similar future updates from you .. loved the video and the feeling with which you expressed it❤️..
I wish there was a regulation(OMG that word again) that light shields had to be used on all city lights, and they turn off or down after a certain hour.
Can't believe such a well done production and channel have so little exposure. Hope you channel grows soon, cause the quality of you work sure needs to be recognized. In other words, I'm looking towards the continuation of the series, I'm passionate by night sky and the universe, I never had the opportunity to see myself much more than a couple dots in the night sky, tho, as I lived my whole life in big cities and it's kinda disturbing to think I might not ever see, at the rate we, as society, are going..
I was in awe after the first 2 minutes so naturally liked, subscribed, shared and clicked the bell button. You have done very good job, and i will look forward to your videos with great interest. Ps. Came through Derek.
I’m privileged to live in a country with lots of dark skies that I can travel to. Also in the Southern Hemisphere where there’s frankly just more to see.
I’ve always been in awe during the few chances I’ve had to see unpolluted night sky. I could sit for hours and just stare. This was a really nice video and I actually learned a bit! Looking forward to episode 2!
I just found this video through my recommendations, I can already tell that this channel will be super successful if you keep producing high quality content like this.
I was lucky enough to have gone out to the wilderness frequently as a kid. Growing up in Utah it's never far away. What turned me on to astronomy was a book my brother gave me for my birthday when I was around 13 years old back in the mid 70s. It was called "Violent Universe". That's where I learned about quasars and pulsars and it fueled a lifelong fire in me to keep learning always. Thanks bro, I miss you.
The stars in the night sky are my absolute favorite thing to look at. I worked as a guide and photographer in rocky mountain national park, and the timelapses and long exposures I captured at night were so beautiful. Being in a higher altitude, the stars were more clear and visible than I've ever seen. To say it was breathtaking is the understatement or the century. It is truly mesmerizing and humbling.
My first night sky wasn't in a desert or camping, but on a boat in the middle of the sea. It's peaceful and beautiful with the sky full of light and sometimes the glow of planktons
Humanity is steadily loosing contact with the stars, the Sun and the Moon. I feel privileged and lucky to have witnessed a dark sky once. An increasingly rare sight, yet only a click of a switch away
it is my opinion that it was looking up at the night sky that started humanity, us, on our journey of curiosity... I am a deal older than you, and can remember when the night sky was a deal darker, before cities got so bright that night never falls...
My favorite part about the act of seeing stars is that - by definition - the last thing that photon interacted with was the distant star. It’s a way to feel closer to the distant cosmos. Deep sky objects via telescope tend to compound this feeling, but nowhere do I feel it more than on a dark night in a remote location. I’m scooping up massless star-stuff with my eyeball light buckets : )
This is my favorite thing about primitive camping. A friend's and I are road trying to Colorado from South Louisianan next week. Hoping for clean sky's and hopefully not a full overcast.
Absolutely EXCELLENT video! Amazing production and I love all the original music! Such important questions to ponder and really engaging and educational! Thanks for taking the time and putting in all the effort to make such an important piece of art! Can't wait for more!!
Awesome video, loved every second of it. Although what I found funny was that every time you mentioned climate crisis you showed a video of a nuclear fission power plant which is our only capable clean energy technology as of today. ( May god bless us with fusion one day)
Great content and such an important topic. I've been thinking about this for past 8 months living away from city working from home. The night skies looks incredible with less light pollution. I feel myself more drawn towards star gazing and observing planets. It gives me comfort to see night sky full of stars. I did go back for a week to city in September and the night sky was depressing. Sleep pattern disturbed because we live so unnatural and in front of screens all the time. Can't wait for 2nd Episode! Thanks for doing this.
This video looks like it’s about to explode, and it really deserves it. I’m lucky to live in Tasmania where the night sky is always visible, but I’ve heard many stories of tourists from urban areas who think that something is wrong when they look up and see so many lights in the skies.
I'll never forget, I was traveling to my sister's graduation party, and we stopped roadside to wait one of our friends. I looked up and was equal parts amazed and surprised. I heard people talk about it, but experiencing it is outerworldly.
It was 3am in the morning and i couldn't sleep. So i just wanted to take a look at the outside for some reason. I don't do it normally but that time idk it's different. Anyways when looked at the sky I saw many stars and it shocked me. I don't live in the middle of the city so we have a little less light pollution but i didn't expect that many stars. And that was my first time actually seeing a constellation (Orion). It looks beautiful and unreal with this amount of light, Idk how beautiful a night sky without any light. Now it's my goal i hope i can achieve before rip in peace.
I still remember the day I stumbled upon your channel. It was Veritasium who gave a shout-out to this video. Since then, I have always revisited this video.
Spent countless nights on Haida Gwaii laying on my back staring up at the stars.... miss that, Vancouvers night sky is unfortunately blocked by the sheer amount of light pollution
Yes, and it's getting worse all the time. There is this architectural fashion now to put these huge glowing cubes at the top of residential towers, majorly worsening the light pollution. All the new towers going up around Brentwood Station, Lougheed Station and Burquitlam Station are like that. :-( The last time that I saw a beautiful night sky was 18 years ago, camping in the Squamish area.
I cant imagine what it was like for our ancestors seeing the galaxy and an uncountable number of stars every clear night. For lifetimes. It must have been unbelievable. And now here I am, 20 years old, and like so many others have never seen the sky and truly appreciated our place among the stars
Stop whining.
Danny Ka Why are you so mad? Me and many other people agree with Clayton
Not to mention the accelerating expansion of our universe, which makes it impossible for us to see previously visible objects, ('previously' could mean decades/centuries or even more, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact source I'm using here) that are not visible now, because they are on the other side of the universe, and the two points (Earth and said object) are moving away from each other faster than the speed of light.

I saw the quality in the first minute and subscribed immediately
SAME!
Like actually tho 👀
Me too
It was so informative
And high quality I had to immediately subscribe
wow actually i never do this but i did it in first 5 seconds of the video

Nothing better than a starry sky to fill you with a sense of humility and put things into perspective.
Nice stuff you got here. How come you only have 2.38k subs? Well here is +1 for you!
P.s.
Thanks Derek!
The first thing on my bucket list is to look at the night sky from Yosemite or Yellowstone.
Badlands National Park is the place to go. Yellowstone is surrounded by towns and has several hotels, it might not seem like much but it causes mild light pollution. Badlands is in the middle of nowhere, it's the best night sky I've ever seen.
Bmobmo64 Thank you for the advice. I just looked up some images of the night sky at badlands and it’s absolutely beautiful.
What an excellent story teller!
Very good quality content!
Thanks Derek
Great storytelling and editing. Nice one Jonny
What a fantastic quality ❤️❤️
1 minute into this video and subbed. I love the philosophical aspect of this!
What an awesome video! Can't wait to see the rest of the series
Every day we forget
what makes us human as a whole and who we actually are
What is it then? What makes us human?
Goodbye Mr. Blue sky
Just the vid I wanted! Great work mate!
It's rare that I'll subscribe to a channel that is so small because the quality usually isn't there, this video was amazing, looking forward to the next one.
I'm lucky to be recommended with your channel. Videos like these are amazing.
Great video bro. Thanks Derek
Perfection!💯
You'll go way ahead..!
Superb quality ❤️
Finally, a channel dedicated to the cosmos.
So glad Vertasium suggested this, great video :-)
Fantastic video. Oupa Viddie would have loved this, from content to photography. Excited for part two, and the rest of the series.
Great storytelling skills! The ten minutes passed without even noticing it, in the end I was like "wait, what? Is it over already?"

Hey Kelly! I will break it down in the "Making Of" video coming on Oct 16th (new moon!) ... it was one of the most complex animations I've ever done!

That's an extremely well condensed of light development history. I love it.

This is my first video I saw in your channel,, dude you have the potential to attract audience and be a great youtuber! So keep it up!
You deserved “like” from my side on this video, congrats 🥳

Jealous! Really want to go see the Magellanic Clouds some day soon... Those will be some lovely time lapses :)
I’ve always been in awe during the few chances I’ve had to see unpolluted night sky. I could sit for hours and just stare.
This was a really nice video and I actually learned a bit! Looking forward to episode 2!
One of my best memories is while in the US Navy way out in the ocean at night looking at the stars.

I used to go out with my friends for star gazing, I missing it badly.
Intro brought memories back.
How come you only have 700 subscribers?
A video with this excellent quality and content deservers millions of views and subscribers
Loved the video, I'm glad to see a fellow space nerd!

How can everything be so perfect. I am eagerly waiting for the next episode. So beautiful❤️
My first night sky wasn't in a desert or camping, but on a boat in the middle of the sea. It's peaceful and beautiful with the sky full of light and sometimes the glow of planktons

Whauw budy nice story telling and video !
Love it , subed directly
Grtzz geerts johny
Awesome stuff dude!
Great content, fabulous production values
I can say that the most beautiful thing in the world is our eyes. Without eyes nothing is beautiful than darkness.
Thank you.
I've dreamed of a holiday where we turn the lights off one a year for an hour everywhere to see the sky together
Love it!
Veritasium brought me here. Great video👍
Commenting so youtube will recommend me the next video.

There was definitely a practical value to lighting back in the 19th century. It was the most effective way of preventing crime at night.
How come I never came before this channel?!
Thanks Derek.
It is great living just outside of the city (charlotte is the closest big city with a lot of light pollution) and I can see the night sky very well.
