Respect for putting the TV in the direction of Neptune, a genius move!
lol, thanks :)
Through my 14“ Telescope I could never see any difference in color between the two ice giants. That explains why. 👍
Jealous😂,But Same With My 6
I can't spot either ice giant from west Baltimore. So I'm even more jealous. And my telescope really sucks to boot.
Hard to "see" it through your scope. Use a camera and you will see a difference.
Thanks for showing Justin Cowart's reprocessed image! I knew I saw color-corrected Neptune years ago : ) Also thanks for digging out that original image reveal on TV.
Do you think you are seeing real colors from Jame Web?
I feel lied to (by the news sources) all these years! I loved the rich blue...😭
You're not alone
@@ImBasedKidsFully Agree
Wait till you find out that they have smaller or bigger errors in basically everything they are reporting about... They don't know what they are talking about almost all the time, leading to a horrible number of bad misconceptions spread by them to the general public.
@@PafMedic hey, i've seen you somewhere
@@ImBasedKids ,Possibly On Another Astronomy Or Astrophotography Channel🤷🏼♀️,lol.Im Not Even On The Internet That Often,So The Choices Are Few😂😂
I bet somebody mentioned but Venus as well its not sick yellow as shown here, its basically almost white and featureless to the human eye.
I was 13 when the fly-by happened.
I feel old!
13 at flyby? YOU'RE JUST A BABY! :)
@@LaunchPadAstronomy true, I guess on Neptune, I'm only about 4 months old, plenty of years left...
On one hand I can understand scientist's frustration about false color images becoming so widespread in media, but on the other... _Pretty colors are pretty_
They turned Neptune into a blue movie.
I'm not blue,
Dooby do,
Dooby do, dooby do, by...
they turned raid: shadow legends into a star trek game
Cheers for the vids. Great job and respect to your knowledge 👍👍👍
I love the story of where you were and what you were doing at the time of the flyby, really lovely vibes:)
One of my favorite channels of all time.. thank you, Christian, for doing what you do and making these videos so enjoyable! 😊🌎❤️🕺🏻
The Grateful Dead in the background always makes me happy
Captain Jonathan Archer: "Neptune and back in six minutes."
Curse those meddling astronomers who have corrected the images I've had in my mind for 35 years! My childhood was a lie! 😅
While it's a bit disappointing, the data returned is no less astounding.
My mind was blown when the raw B&W images of Triton came in. "Cryovolcanos"? Whoa! And when the Voyager imaging team put together that animation showing that they were active *right now,* my jaw hit the floor!
LOL! Yeah, what can I say, I like reality..most of the time :) Triton is amazing!
As an amateur astrophotographer, I totally get this.
I just want to say your content and expertise for all of you videos is brilliant and its a real shame you don't have more subscribers. Thank you for making these videos!
Very interesting stuff man. Well done.
Thanks!
It's good to see this correction coming to light!
Thank you Christian. 🌌
Thank You!!!!!
Thanks Christian, another great video that really gets to the heart of the matter. I remember reading a Discover magazine article about this subject titled "Colorizing the Cosmos" back in the 80's or 90's. Almost turned me off from Astronomy forever but I came back with a vengeance!
Also, you may be a nerd but you're our nerd. Signed, fellow nerd.
Thanks.
Thank you very much to information I am very grateful for you from middle east
It's still deep blue in our hearts.
CHRISTIAN!!! Good news!!! With my VERY strong binoculars, I can see the real color!!! Great video my friend!!! CHEERS!!!
I’m heavy into late stage stellar evolution
There he is!
i wish we could send another probe to Neptune and Uranus as well
I remember them saying at the time. This is a false colour image to highlight the cloud formations! If only thay asked me. I would have sorted it out!😂
this is one of the most disappointing things i have ever learned.
I am new to University and I’m amazed people even get funding to do such research.
As it is pretty much a rich persons hobby. Just doing some exploration for fun.
I don’t think I’ll ever get funding for a paper, it feels wrong and the funders will no doubt want a certain result that I then have to produce for them.
I took pictures of both planets with my little 6''-Smith-Cassigrain telescope and my daily Canon dslr in an extremely clear night (which is rare here in Switzerland). Going back to these images is fun: Uranus really is pale and even. Neptune on the other hand on my grainy picture is blueish on top almost like the false color image, white in the middle and kind of yellowish on the bottom. He's a bit stretched out so distortion by the atmosphere surely plays a role. Thanks for there great video, always much fun to follow you!
In person I imagine it'd appear much darker just because of reduced sunlight.
This is far more distressing than Pluto's reclassification
Neptune is my 2nd favorite planet :)
Earth is mine
What an incredibly interesting video, you got me with this one for some reason. 'Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten', not Dead so Pink Floyd will have to do today, is there a Dead lyric that includes Neptune? Can't think of one. But on the very rare occasions I'm psychotic enough to want to listen to something other than the Dead its usually Floyd.
Almost looks like one of my old bowling balls LOL.
Never heard of the planet Evertaken, but I'm glad they got a sharp view of it.
Clever :)
By definition if single bit of one byte of a photograph is changed it becomes art.
That's a poorly thought out statement, let's think about it. Photos are are often changed for advertising to catch a consumers eye but, because it's not being presented as art most people would not consider that art. Artist's often present photos that have not been changed, with accurate colors as art, people admire it, purchase it, and hang it on their walls, it's art. So your definition, by definition, is not accurate.
That is patently false.
Party-pooper!!
Childhood ruined by one scientific paper. :(
Neptune was one of my favorite planets because of its blue color. And it is the setting of my story-novel.
We should take this up with the IAU and get them to officially say, "Neptune is officially *Azure blue,* not Robin's egg blue." 😁😉
Dear Sir, Can you please do a video on the border of our universe? There seems to be 88 galaxies which is supposed to have been formed by baby galaxies collision observed by JWST and so wouldn't it be possible to build a deeper observing space Telescope to observe the borders of our own universe in a whole some manner so that observable universe concept is replaced with our actual universe borders!? May I request you to create a video on this point?. Regards, B K Ashok Krishna.
Hi Christian,Its Still Beautiful Thru A Telescope Tho❤Great Video,Thank You😂😂😂Were All Nerds,lol
Aqua green. No shade of blue to my 3 color filter.
its fascinating to me, even in the highly logical world of cosmological physics, the need to "present" a face in an attempt to instigate interest, and share knowledge. its like information make-up releasing false-color images to the public, yet it is the basis for a subsequent generation of brains to push our conception and definition of said face, which hooked our child eyes at the start
Hey, did you know that I have a game on a platform called Roblox about space and when I realized about Neptune's true color I corrected it for everyone to see Neptune's real color? I hope that, that way, people actually get a better idea of what Neptune looks like!
This ruins my image of a place so dazzling blue all day that it would be like living in an Electric Light Orchestra song and an Industrial Light and Magic special effect. I was even hoping to retire to Neptune! But it's better I find this out now than after I move there and be let down.
A good amateur telescope image I've seen made it look almost like a purple sphere.
I just assumed they went with the bluer color because of Neptune's namesake.
NASA should start new mission to spray blue food coloring on Neptune
So, why the hubble images were also similar in color? They never bothered to clarify even the hubble image colors 😥
Next It Will Be Uranus Is Picking Up The Bodies That Make Up The Rings Saturn Is Losing🤷🏼♀️,As Stated By Someone Else,That Almost Makes Me Mad..And Was A Great Video,Thank You Again❤️🔭🌎
Why Are You Talking Like This?
@@StefanCreates Like What
@@PafMedic Every Word Capitalized
@@StefanCreates ,Ok,So..Ive Been Ask This Many Times,Ive No Clue,Its Habit,Not On Purpose,Im 54,Just Have Always Typed This Way Since Phones🤷🏼♀️Ole An Senile😁
I also didn't know Jupiter was just boring grey
Amazing. Next they’ll say Plutos not a planet.
Umm...
Yeah why would neptune have a more lively atmosphere?
Neptune turned out to have a very active internal source of heat. Exactly what is causing that heat remains an unanswered question, however.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy oh I see... could be radioactive decay?
Perhaps, as well as gravitational contraction. The problem is that we've only had that one close-up look. We need to go back!
But images from the Hubble Space Telescope, aswell as huge groundbased telescopes like the Keck Observatory views Neptune as a deep blue, espeically when comparing it to Uranus. Why wouldn't it be seen as almost the same color as Uranus?
Not sure, maybe he will respond. Like a comment from above, I took a picture of Neptune some time back with my 8" reflector and digital camera and it was very blue. Maybe not quite as blue as voyager, but maybe sky blue.
Like with any image, you want to check the captions to see what filters were used. Both HST and Keck released false-color images as well. Alas, it's a very common practice in order to study certain phenomena, but it can leave the public confused if it's not made clear how the images were processed.
6:10 GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT MENTIONED
A request for clarification: you keep using the term "false color", but my understanding the original Neptune image was a true color with some color enhancements. Maybe it's a difference in meaning between different fields, but my understanding of false color images wasn't just enhancements to the image, it was actually using different wavelengths in the RGB channels to highlight phenomena that can't be seen with human eyes, e.g. using infra-red to represent temperature in a image.
It's fair to say that the "blue" image is enhanced, but in so enhancing the color changed from aqua to a deep blue, which in my mind makes it a "false" color, despite the fact that both are within the visible spectrum. But you make a good point in terms of the meaning of those words being different in different circumstances.
I will never mentally recover from this
from now on just put a watermark across all the false color adjusted images saying they are not the correct colors. solved
I feel so betrayed..
University of Oxford and Oxford University aren't the same thing.
According to my colleague who went to Oxford, it is :)
Sorry, I got confused between University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University! You are correct.
It's not just Neptune. Most images released to the public are false color. They are out for clicks as well.
this is like taking a pic of yourslef with an instagram filter on and then claiming you dont exist because it got a filter on
Man, it feels like yelling at the mic is some sort of underground youtube thing.🔊🔉🔊🔉👂👂.
Yelling?
???
Unfortunately the new image does not look like Neptune either. Go to your telescope and start taking pictures of it. I agree the old picture was too blue, but the last picture isn't even close. This is a group trying to hype up something I guess.
We know what Neptune looks like because we have seen it.
theres an issue with this and its that because you are using a telescope, you are likely inside earths atmosphere, which will change the colors you see because air will filter certain colors.
Yeah but I think it just works better compositionally with the deep blue. I could’ve done such a better job smh
Your such a nerd 👍
They want to keep public interest up and their budget.
The *whole point* of Voyager was to *image* & characterize the nature of the outer planets & their moons - from the ultra violet through radio wavelengths, their magnetic fields, and other ways.
This issue is about reprocessing images taken 35 years ago to more accurately - in order to better describe _Uranus._
@@nicholashylton6857lol maybe but at the end of the day they still want more money for the next year. Do you really think they care what color the public thinks a planet is? They just want to keep their jobs and keep expanding their knowledge of space.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think your vids are by far the best astronomy vids.
But how blue is neptune, isn't one of the best.
The whole point of space missions is to see how things really look. Then some plonker or plonkers (I'm being polite here) at NASA then decided to put out a false image = insane.
Oh well at least no one died on this occasion
Wrong. In the heliocentric model, you shouldn't be able to see Neptune at all. It is too far away. The lux measurement would drop below 0.1 lux long before it reached Earth. (0.1 lux is the threshold of our ability to see light.)
not really given how the background is pitch black. Also light would work the same way if planets rotated around earth or the sun. Your logic is flawed.
@@vcjg287 I am going to test your understanding of basic science. Here goes: If the radius of a sphere is doubled, by what factor does its surface area increase?
Very strange take. If one can't be bothered to read the caption I guess they aren't really all that interested in the first place, so who cares?
This is a bland and boring topic. To clarify, your video wasn't boring; the topic is. So, what if we got the color of Neptune wrong? Instead, tell me why the moon's razor-sharp particles in lunar soil will hamper humanity's efforts to mine the moon someday.
So what, making a big deal about nothing IMO.
Objectively, yes. But the image has been burned into the public consciousness (for those of us who care about these things, anyway) for 35 years.
