- Dive into the enigmatic world of Neptune, the Ice Giant of our solar system! Uncover its mysteries, icy atmosphere, and stunning rings in this captivating exploration of the distant celestial marvel.
"So big it could be either a planet, or possibly your mom." That shit came out of nowhere and killed me. Well done.
Yeah, I had to go back and make sure I heard it right!
That really got me too 😂
🤣🤣🤣 me 3!
😂😂😂 hahaha that choke me up
"Uranus's gassy glory"
Not a single time Uranus was mentioned without puns. That is some respectable dedication!
CZcams has gone totally down the shitter lately. The majority of my watch time is on the Whistlerverse, yet it took the algorithm WEEKS to suggest this new channel.
Agreed
Uranus jokes, a your mom joke, and even an Oceangate implosion joke all in one video. It doesn't get much better.
And yes, let's all hope that the Chinese space agency will pick up western slack in this instance.
Can't believe Simon said 'Uranus' gassy glory' with a straight face.
EDIT: 'sniffing out Uranus' was too much for him tho.
That second one made me go, "dear god man, phrasing!"
I almost didn't click away
I can't believe he skipped the opportunity to say "probing the secrets of Uranus" instead of "pondering".
lol commented too soon
Simon and team never miss a chance for a good Uranus joke. Love the blend of science and humor!
It hasn't been mentioned yet, but I hope it is. Neptune is the first planet that we found with math before seeing it. Based on the orbit of Uranus we figured out something else was out there. The math was done, calcauting where the planet should be, and how big it should be. Then it was found. It is an amazing story.
reminds me of the gölzsch viaduct, the first bridge in the world where maths were used to prove that the structure would be sound, before the bridge was actually built (up to this point people were over building bridges to make sure they wouldn't fall apart as soon as a vehicle got on it)
How about you watch the video before commenting. It was all in there, in great detail.
@Chris-hx3om "hasn't been mentioned yet, but I hope is" never said it doesn't get mentioned, almost like I knew it could be later, and just wanted to say something. Weird.
@@Chris-hx3omIt'd be far more productive for to you stop being a dick to strangers for no reason.
I'd also like to add similar math is why scientists know we have another planet in our solar system.
I always smile when I hear Simon say anything refering to "Freedom units" lmao. Great content as always. Cant wait to see what else you guys get around to uploading, thanks for the great content!
Foreigners are easily confused.
I know this channel doesn't get much growth ( I don't understand it either believe you me) but please don't stop making these even if they're uploaded far apart from each other
I agree. It appears (to me) that people want either 'gory and more gory' or 'influencers'. I'm all about the sciences myself. I think the world needs people to stop obsessing about how other people live their lives and we all need to get more scientifically literate. I see the rise of 'group stupidity' as one of the major problems of the future.
I knew Simon couldnt go one freakin episode without a sub-surface ocean
commenting to help boost this channel and video in the Algorithm
I commented this on another video on this channel to also help the Whistlerverse expand. I replied to you to contine helping.
A video on "former planets" (celestial objects that used to be considered planets) would be great for this channel I think.
Isn't that just a Pluto video?
He already did most of those over on Geographics. I have made a playlist called Simon Space with all of those videos.
@@n1ckyh1ck9yin the mid 1800's scientists considered there to be over 20 planets in our solar system.
@@n1ckyh1ck9yCeres in the astroid belt, charon with pluto, vesta and more in the kuiper belt are classed as drawf planets
Make Make
"Uranus' gassy glory" -- epic band name.
These uranus puns 😂😂😂
The Voyager flight plan wasn't sheer dumb luck as you said, it was due to one of the NASA team working out that the current planetary alignment would make the flight to all the planet's possible
This is peak internet and Simon this is your best show by far, it would be brilliant if you would create more episodes about Neptune, its moons, TNO's to include Nibiru/Hercolubus/Planet X or whatever the (potential) unseen planet is in the Kuiper Belt
I have been waiting for a Simon space channel! You are one of the best content creators out there! Keep it up! 😊
ah yes, my ultimate goal: to be reincarnated as a photon of light… how did simon know ?!?
You'd be able to see the entire universe without time passing!
A video on Planet X would be interesting.
Schrödinger's planet, the planet of wishful thinking, the nowhere planet, the missing Planet 9 (no, not Pluto sadly). Planet X will likely just be another Vulcan, a planet we think should be there based on an error in calculations or lack of a thorough understanding of how our solar system works. All the dwarf planets we have found beyond Pluto and yet we have not found the illusive hypothetical planet 9, known as Planet X back when we classified Pluto as a planet, and yet the equations say it could be there. Definitely worth a video honestly, it's an interesting topic and a lot of people are holding hope for it to be true.
I'm loving the new channel, Simon!
SimonTube channel 50! Congratulations! I couldn't be happier!
A masterful combination of dry wit, outright humor, double entendre and real science. I'll be watching until the end of time, or you stop making these...which ever comes first. :D
this channel needs playlists
Neptune's always been my favorite. It's not the greatest, but it's got a lot of everything and it looks magnificent.
Sniffed out Uranus, too good Simon, too good!
I'd like to see a series where you go over things that were just Science Fiction that ended up being real or could be real.
He has a whole channel that does that. Science Unbound.
@@mad0813 I cannot keep up with this mans work haha
For the last week this video has been my fall asleep video every night
One neighbor has people trying to claim it isn’t even a planet. The neighbor on the other side has people calling it Uranus. I think Neptune is quite happy mostly being left alone.
Having Simon say "Your ANUS" with such enthusiasm almost made me laugh.
Simon! What the Heck man! I didn't know yu had a show on space. I love it! Binge watching right now. We are going to start calling you the busiest man on CZcams! Keep it up bro!
Thank you, Simon for referencing Pluto as the "Fan favourite". It always makes my day when there is a mention of our little planet.
Thank you for acknowledging KENYA. we like you and pledge to protect your internet life
I like how he makes me feel like I'm dawning a jacket with him, love ya man!
I like this new channel. I was like “wow, another one Simon?” but it’s quickly become one of my favorites
Anyway, thanks for doing a video about my mom
Hopefully the ice giant with the more amusing name is next up on this channel... although Jupiter would be interesting to revisit too.
"So big it could be a new planet or your mum" choked me like a popeyes biscuit with no drink
Neptune is such a cool planet.
There's a way to make me feel old. In 1989 I had just gotten my first job after receiving my degree in 1988.
This is your best channel yet
my favorite planet other then earth :) thanks for the content.
I like the maturity at the end about Uranus.
Space is surprisingly fascinating and horrifying.
1:05 - Chapter 1 - The twilight world
5:20 - Chapter 2 - Seas & storms
10:25 - Chapter 3 - A thousand points of light
15:00 - Chapter 4 - Voyage to the stars
18:00 - Chapter 5 - To the stars
My inner 3rd grader is immensely satisfied by the discussion of Uranus. Many thanks to the writer! LOL!
Effective immediately I’m going to use the term “I have been Challised” at work
Just hearing Simon say "Astrographics" makes my brain flutter ❤
1:10: No, if you were a photon, you would experience no passage of time because you would be travel the speed of light. Only an outside observer would clock the times you mentioned. Yes, I'm that pedantic, I'll show myself out.
Meanwhile I'm focusing on the fact that you wouldn't be passing every planet on your way out because they're all in different parts of their orbit lol.
Small (possibly pedantic) point about the "Journey to Neptune" portion of the video; if we were reincarnated as a photon of light, travelling at the speed of light, the journey to Neptune would not take 4hr12mins, for us, it would be instantaneous. The journey would only take that time to observers watching the photon travelling through space. If I remember my special Theory of Relativity correctly, the closer you get to the speed of light the more time slows down and stops at the actual speed of light; that means, as the photon travels at the speed of light, for the photon itself, time never starts ticking making all journeys instantaneous. Only if something slowed the photon down would it's internal clock start ticking and it would then experience the passage of time. Apart from that (possibly pedantic) point, I loved the video & think it's a shame that NASA/ESA aren't visiting the Neptune. If the Chinese do make it, I hope they will share their data with the larger scientific community.
The amazing capacity of the old ways, scientists and engeniers
I can tell you're just bursting with anticipation to finally do another fully dedicated video on Uranus on this channel...and I'm just as eager to watch it. :P
All the Innuendo in this video is awesome. I feel like Simon found every reason possible to talk about Uranus.
1:40 Ha!!
Slick, Brain Boy...
Slick like KY...
Way to slide it in there!
🤣
I remember watching on TV the first pictures of Neptune with its dark spot in 1989...
I was 8 when Voyager II encountered Neptune. It was bizarre going from knowing a planet existed but not knowing what it looked like to suddenly knowing what it looked like. An experience I wouldn't have again until we reached Pluto.
And just for laughs. I had a conversation with someone about Uranus.
Tempted to end it right there, but I'll continue.
The person was complaining if only they would just change it's name so people would stop making "immature" (their words not mine) jokes about it. My response was "Well, even if they did, it would still be a lost cause. It's made of methane and ammonia. It's literally a giant fart ball in space." To which they had nothing to say after that. 😆
Please stop the bright swing transition.
Great episode.
Mr Simon's back at it with the mums lol. I love hearing your mum jokes Simon 😀
In my home state of Queretaro MX, there is a statue of Neptune, but the ancient Diety Neptune. Maybe that could be a video on the new channel "Places".
On the subject of Neptune fouling up orbits... what are the chances of Neptune capturing Pluto as a moon if they were close enough together at a point where their orbits cross? I've been pondering this question since before Pluto's demotion (I'm about a decade and a half older than Simon).
I read an article in the late 80’s or early nineties that explained why that would never be able to happen.
The eccentricities of Pluto’s orbit means that it is never close enough to Neptune for it to be taken out of its current orbit.
Either Neptune is on the other side of the sun when it transits the orbit, or the tilt of Pluto’s orbit misses what would be shared space.
Pluto doesn't just have an elongated orbit, it also orbits at a very oblique angle. The points at which Neptune crosses its orbit, Pluto is so far above it that there isn't really a chance of a gravitational capture.
Yet another reason Pluto should not be classified as a planet.
@13:58 I'll ask you to leave my mother out of this, Sir 😂
I'm throughly convinced that Simon will soon have as many channels as stars in the Milky Way. Love you, FactBoi!
"Eating cheese and plotting revolution" same, bestie, same.
Simon I found you, I missed your voice talking about our solar system. I clicked on this video on a whim.
Simon please do Uranus next! My daughter will be born in June and her name will be Bianca Roselind named after 2 of Uranus’s moons
Uranus jokes abound. Simon knows his audience
Was wondering when a channel just for space videos would pop up
Uranus’s gassy orbit? Lol, we ain’t letting that slip by 😅
Just an idle side note, the short clip showing Voyager travelling in space is inaccurate. The radio dish is NOT pointed forward. In that position the probe would not be able to communicate with Earth. The probe is travelling away from Earth, so the planet is behind the probe.
Video should be titled: Neptune - Filled with Uranus' Jokes
thanks astro, i enjoy your videos
I encountered Arnie at my local gym when I was growing up
‘Uranus, the gassiess giant’ words never spoken so true!
I've watched 4 videos from this channel so far and I'm convinced Simon made this channel primarily to make Uranus jokes 😂
I identify as the planet Uranus everytime Simon makes dirty jokes
This was great even if I giggled like a school girl pretty much every time Simon said Uranus.
What if we sent a Hubble class telescope to Saturns' L1 point to observe the giants?
We'd need to do it to each of the outer planets, due to the differences in orbital periods. One at Saturn alone would only catch glimpses of the other planets very infrequently, and even at closest point, Jupiter and Saturn are still more than 4 times further apart than the earth and sun (which is called 1 AU, Astronomical Unit)! And Saturn to Uranus at closest pass-by is 10 AU, and Saturn - Neptune is 21 AU...
But a good idea all the same. Park a Hubble like 'scope at each planet's L1. I'd vote for that. (L1 means looking at the day side of each planet.)
My grandparents had a poster of the solar system that was on the wall from when their children where just kids. One of the pictures was of what they thought Ceres would look like, just a big asteroid misshapen and rough not the dwarf planet we know today. Was just reminded of it this video.
My collection is growing
Pluto is still a planet. #justiceforpluto
But seriously how the hell do they find out what the core of a plant Neptune is made out of?
@@thegoldenpleb9885 Right?! Humans are wild, makes me wish I was one
Looking forward to simon talking about all the Neptune data from china in 20 years or so
I will also add a comment to boost the algorithm
I will comment on this comment to boost the algorithm even further
I heard we like algorithm comments around here! This is one as well 😂
I come here and start listening. Then I'm like, wait wtf.. I don't see his face, but that's absolutely Simon 🤣 when you stumble upon a new Simon channel you didn't realize existed
. I've always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe.
I’m convinced that Simon secretly purchased CZcams lol.
Is there a niche of CZcams he doesn’t have a channel for? 😂😂😂 (I love it! Totally not complaining lol)
Is it just me or is Simon becoming more and more unhinged?🤣
Damn Simon is working hard. How much does he owe to the irs to need money that bad
In order to learn... humour is required to hold attention. Something Lord Simon is perfect at.
“ As he sniffed out Uranus” haha my kind of learning
Holy shit, this bearded egg is everywhere!
Thank you :)
Next topic - The watches of Simon
OMGosh is that Simon's voice? Gosh I've missed it. BWAHAHA I found a new channel to listen to WOOT.
Fun Fact: Pluto has FAR more in-common with Earth than Earth does with Neptune... so if Neptune is a planet and Pluto is not... well, Earth isn't one either.
"Neptune and back in six minutes"
Please make an episode about Sedna and Eris.
Poor Pluto
Got a Uranus Vid ?? I'd like to see it 😎😳
I remember hearing that NASA could have sent Voyager 1 to Pluto in the 1980s, but they wanted to get a good look at Titan, so they set a course to do a close flyby of Titan and really got nothing for it because of the thick atmosphere. ☹
Trivia: Uranus is slightly larger than Neptune by diameter
Simon! How many more channels are there!?
just keep in mind in the prospective of a photon since it is traveling at the speed of light the travel time would be near instantaneous do to time dilatation.
