Dive deep into the vastness of space and uncover the potential catastrophes waiting beyond our atmosphere. From the incredible resilience of life on Earth to the celestial events that could challenge our survival-this video unravels the mysteries of the cosmos that surround our terrestrial home.
Swear to god every day I find a completely new channel you guys are running I had never seen before.
Love the new channel
Same here! I would like to see simon do a video on “Super symmetry stars” ❤ that and “quark stars”
@@eldiabloramon
Quark, while well known on DS-9, was only a "star" on Ferenginar... & even then mostly a B-/C+ lister.
As much as Simon loves Cocomelon. He tries to hide it, but we can see it.
Seriously, what is Simon's channel count at this point? I just binged about 10 videos from different Simon channels only to discover this one. 🤣🤦♂️
@@wild360💯 lol
Cocolmelon definitely makes me want to destroy humanity too 😂
Try Bluey!
Simon continues to expand his youtube empire, utilizing his and our own paranoia and anxiety regarding intimidating thoughts most people don't purposefully expand upon.
Space could one day just end us all.
Murderers exist. Crime happens constantly. Conspiracy theories are so common now a days. Wars are raging on global scales and people don't wanna talk about the reality of it all.
Except for Simon and team.
Factboi will then invest in anxiety medication, promote it and take over the market!
I'm stoked Simon has this new channel started, I'm kinda surprised that he hasn't been plugging the hell out of it though. I literally stumbled upon it today.
Playing Starfield has given me a space Bonner, and this is satisfying it immensely.😂
Exact same here lmao
I just happened to see it mentioned in comments from a different channel (Places) of his that I had never heard of either.
I just found it a few days ago when it was recommended to me. A decent rec for once youtube
I’ve been kind of waiting for it to be a thing since the Astrographics sub series on Geographics started. People have been suggesting/joking about a separate channel for a long while, figured it was only a matter of time
I remember when Simon was doing the series of the planets in Geographics and a lot of us proposed that he made an Astrographics channel, and i love that he finally did it, subscribed and hoping that does well enough to have regular content in it
Simon prolly has had millions of proposed channels put forward to him, so it's not surprising that some got it right. in fact Simon could prolly pull some random channel name out his ass and there would people out there saying "i once mention he should do that". point being no one cares and this dose not make you special in any way.
@facetubetwit1444 That's awfully harsh. He was excited about the channel. Of course he'd mention the fact that he'd suggested it before; a bunch of people has. Simon seems really excited about each new space topic whether it was on Geographics or here, and it's contagious. I'm glad that OP and people like him (including myself) are excited about this channel.
@@jonathonmcknight1416 that's reality of it. Simon is only in this for the money and will only produce topics he deems as financial benefits and dose not even personally read comments. think of it as you will but Simon dose not care about you or even this dude who thinks he was the sole suggestor of this topic/channel name.
Yeah. I remember making a bunch of comments over time asking for a channel on famous battles (suggesting names Battlegraphics and Warographics), as well as suggesting the Emu War as an April Fools video.
I have no idea if any of those comments were ever actually seen or if it was all complete chance, but either way I’m happy now it’s a thing that exists.
@@facetubetwit1444I mean, they (Simon and co) get ideas from looking at the comments, and I’ve heard him talk about that in videos including mentioning people requesting the space ones. The OP isn’t saying ‘this channel exists because of my comment’, they’re saying ‘hey this thing a lot of us want now exists! Awesome!’. No one thinks Simon personally cares about them. However people (whether Simon personally or otherwise) involved in the production do read comments, as that’s how they can suss out what might be popular. They even reply a fair bit.
The point is that however it happened we now have Astrographics and that’s a good thing. Chill out and enjoy the video.
It is incredibly difficult to keep a viewers attention for long minutes at a time talking but you do an excellent job. The pace of talking is not slow it is precise yet concise and focused. You use visual elements which is great and overall its one of the few channels that can keep me watching a 20 30 40 min video and not click off halfway.
Basically Simon’s channels fill me with fear and dread (he thinks as he hits like and subscribe)
Seriously though. Great channel.
I just saw this channel suggested to me and I was like, "ASTROgraphics? Is that you, Whistler?" Hovered mouse over thumbnail.... "Yup. Good. I've been wondering when this channel would explode into existence."
Gamma ray burst. I'm ready to become the HULK 💪💪
I like your version of the afterlife!
Appreciate you guys
This made my lonely Valentine's Day a little bit better. Thanks Simon!
Don't know how I missed the start of Astrographics, but man I'm happy it exists after all this time 😂
I love how Simon describes that we pretty much won't know we're dead from a gamma ray burst if it did happen, and does so with a smile.
Best way to go, really.
Simon you have made last few days so much better I’ve been off work ill and being able to binge watch this new channel plus a few other videos I’d not seen on your many other channels. So a big thank you
Keep it up everyone! Will keep watching, liking and commenting to get this channel moving
I’m a big fan of Simon and the writers in the basement. Happy and free as they are. Need more, keep this coming.
Simon, another channel?? I’m thinking it’s not healthy for me to keep subscribing but your team just speaks to my inner nerd! Keep it up, you definitely earned it!
Oh yes yes yes yes yes MUST HAVE MORE VIDEOS!!!!
I can't believe that I missed that Simon started this channel. Space content from fact boy is so my jam
Great video. Earth as a rogue planet needs to be a movie. Maybe Lars Von Trier could direct. Love Melancholia
Love it Simon.
I read somewhere that the time dilation effects from a black means that to an outside observer you would be sucked in instantly. To you, time would be stretched so you would experience it for longer.
Shit gave me nightmares.
Ahh the infamous love of coco Mellon. You know you keep it alive by the constant space it holds in your head eh?
Keep it up. Putting a comment in to help the algorithm.
Loved the space stuff in the other channel, not sure which one I've watched so many.. Love this new channel, fantastically interesting stuff. Don't have Twitter or social media apps so found it by accident
Simon's conquest of CZcams continues apace. I'm here for it.
gamma ray burst: i can laser away anything up to several thousand light years in my path!
cosmological phase transition: hold my dark matter beer.
Only just discovered this new channel YES SIMON! I'm sure I've seen so many comments about wanting this exact channel! Now I have to go back and catch up on all the videos, yay. Keep up the amazing work, we see it!
Edit: Ive hit the bell, will be watching 👀
Agree loving this channel
it is clear that you put a lot of work into your videos. you have earned my sub sir :-)
CZcams: “So Mr Whistler, how many channels would you like?”
Simon; “Yes.”
Keep the channels coming Simon!
Spaghetti. Now I'm hungry and still a few hours away from dinner. At least this video is satisfying my hunger for knowledge.
YESSS FINALLY!! Science Unbound and Geographics isn't enough space stuff
Love this channel!
North Korea likes the idea of using NYC as a testing ground to see how much damage variously sized asteroids do
12:54 love the BB Simon showing up! 😂😂
One of my favorite scenarios of this nature (just because it’s something that nobody thinks of) is one that was briefly mentioned near the beginning of “Rendezvous with Ramah”. In this scenario, a sphere of neutronium (the burned up, no longer luminous remnant of a neutron star) passes through our solar system. It would appear to us as a large asteroid being only a few kilometers across and seem harmless from a distance. But a ball of neutronium several kilometers across would actually have more mass than Jupiter and despite its small size, even if it came no where near colliding with anything, the gravitational pull it would exert on every body in our solar system would throw every orbit off and likely mean a slow death by heat or cold for everything on earth. Now…fair disclaimer: most physicists don’t think that the universe is anywhere near old enough for any cooled neutron stars to have formed yet. But haven’t I recently heard that jwst is suggesting that the universe might actually be a lot older than we thought?
👍👍Fun video-thanks. You missed my favorite ending: vacuum energy decay. Altho I suppose that's more of a universe busting event than just an earth-buster. Maybe a subject for another video?
Earned my sub in less as 2 videos!
I love your new channel. How do you find any time for sleeping?
Good stuff. I'll take the instant painless death over the apocalypse any day.
Yall forgot Vacuum decay. Also love the new channel!
Astrographics has been a long time coming
Congratulations to Fact Boi and the Blazement Crew!! ❤❤❤
I hate it when people think space exploration and colonization is useless or not important. I've actually gotten into far more arguments about this than any of you would like. I really hate it when I explain to people that it is vital we leave this planet because if something happens and we lose it, that's it for us, and they just shrug their shoulders and claim it's unlikely to happen. It's maddening.
I thought Sideprojects was your only channel? Well I’m here now lol.
Never subscribed faster to a channel ever.
Actually the more important question to ask about an asteroid headed for earth isn't how big it is, but what its composition is, followed by the angle of its approach, then its size. For example, a rocky/icy asteroid would have much less significant impact on earth because most of it would burn up and air burst in the atmosphere before hitting earth crust. An asteroid comprised of mostly iron though... that would be much less likely breakup if it was of of significant size and would cause mass devastation. The angle of approach also makes a massive difference.
Oh boy, existential crisis fueled paranoia for me to ingest.
Geographics was an amazing channel but it had a lot of space stuff in it which made me want a new channel.
I wonder if there is any life outside of Earth.
Have you ever heard of the panspermia theory? It theorizes that life on Earth might've been seeded by a meteor that landed on Earth carrying lifeforms from some other planet. So we all might be descendants of alien microbes.
Did i just see a school bus superimposed onto a satellite? 😂 i don't know why, but that was funny as heck
Simon, I’m on CZcams extremely often… I’m having trouble keeping up with all of your new channels! You need some sort of channel index now! 💯😊💯
Yay! Todays existential crisis!
My own scoutmaster used to work at the Kitt peak national observatory
This intro needs to be shown to everyone so they understand how lucky we are and eff of with their bs.
P.S. Love the new channel
As far as the Independence Day movie goes, I’m convinced that the welcome wagon at the beginning with the helicopter, and the lights flash, the alien equivalent of ‘ and the horse you rode in on’ and altered the aliens plans.
(And for the well actually crowd, thats sarcasm)
Hey Simon, How about one explaining what a Coronal hole in the sun is and the effects it has such as solar winds for us small brains
I binge watch anything I see from the Whistlerverse....and then I find the new ones and I subscribe and start binge watching them. 😅😅😅😅😅 Thank you to every writer, editor, and of course Simon. Can't wait to find a new channel to subscribe to 😂😂😂😂
That cocomelon comment had me rolling 😂
The Whistlerverse continues to expand! Im surprised i had to stumble upon this instesd of having plugged to me!
Hoping I actually start getting the alerts for new videos for this channel since even with all selected I don't seem to be getting them like I do with the others
I have never seen you so excited !
Anyway, so long as it happens after my retirement.
This was a great video id love to see a sequel to. Keep the creative bankruptcy flowing faCT BOY! ZORG THE OMNIPOTENT DESIRES MORE CONTENT!!!
This man won't stop making channels until he's taken over the internet 😂
Damn Simon how many channels do you have!?
Are you sure that a meteor strike roughly in the middle of an ocean would result in devastating tsunamis? Wouldn't the energy be largely absorbed by an obscene amount of seawater? And wouldn't the deeper layers of said water potentially cushion the shockwaves?
water doesn't really compress, so it'd just take all of that force and push an appropriate amount of water out of the way, which is what would lead to said tsunamis
Ah but if aliens are being exposed to Cocomellon that means they are also being exposed to Bluey... and he's a pretty cool little dude. There is hope for us yet Simon!
12:58 love that Cocomelon is what could get us merc-ed
3:48 is that the footage that you HAD to use?
“Space demolition paperwork” could you get anymore “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”??
To an advanced alien race, nukes would be like annoying firecrackers
Love this channel. Please can someone tell me what new channels Simon has? I've found this, and places.
And please don't regurgitate Warographics, DTU. And if I hear Casual Criminalist or Brain Blaze, I will ignore entirely.
If aliens are watching, they likely believe that 65% of the planet is populated by Simons. Cool new channel!
vacuum decay: oi, what's all this then
On the topic of Gamma ray bursts, if I'm not mistaken, there are a few weird cases where you can actually detect them prior to arrival, but most of these rely on lucky gravitational lensing altering the direction and arrival time of the light. This stuff is complicated though so I could be wrong 😆
I think we would have to recognize both a star close enough to supernova and be able to recognize that we were in line with one of the stars poles. Can't see it prior due to speed of light being the speed of causality and lensing only magnify images but cannot actually speed up the light.
@@norml.hugh-mann ah that makes sense, made a bit of a logical flub. Thanks!👍
Commenting for the algorithm 🖤
How long did your team look at catastrophy flicks for the footage? :D
assuming the gamma ray burst IS close enough to kill us instantly, agreed. i'd rather go that way. but if its far enough away that I'd lay there in bed writhing in agony, hell no. i'm also curious what near misses with a gamma ray burst would look like, and if we were to watch one hit saaaay a gas giant, from afar, without being destroyed by it, what could scientists learn from observing that?
Pretty sure if it hits close enough to our solar system that it hits one of the four gas giants, we'll be toast.
@@renaissanceredneck3695 Whether or not that's the case is part of the question. Is there ever an orbit that would result in a near miss with earth intact?
I always thought that if strange matter exists that it would be the scariest.
Hey look at this, another Simon channel that I have to subscribe to lol.
Only suggestion is this channel needs an outro signal, so I know it's time to click the next Astrographics video
Or just make some playlists ❤
Wait till Factboy finds out about the great rip, that earth blinking out of existence at any moment is a possibility.
Gamma Ray burst, sooo there's a chance Earth becomes Planet Hulk 😂
0:56 An asteroid of 370m isn't a planet killer, it's a small nation killer.
Vacuum decay, although theoretical, would be another
As for aliens showing up, conflict seems most likely if they were desperate to find a new home and we were the closest habitable planet. If they were spreading/colonizing it would depend on availability and proximity. If they were out exploring first contact would probably go better.
The Angry Astronaut just did a video on Aphosis, it's not at all out of the question that it's going to hit
Things that permeate the Whistler-verse: numerous talented authors, hatred for Justin Beiber, hatred for Cocomelon
Don't forget the hatred for Yoko Ono....... alegendly. 😂😂😂😂😂
You didn't mention the most likely space disaster of all, which would be a solar flare that would destroy power grinds and electronics.
Love the cocomelon reference!
10:30 Comparing alien first contact between humans and aliens to historical first contacts between less and more advanced people on Earth.
The factor that leads to the destruction of the less advanced people was that the less advanced people had something the more advanced wanted.
As there was nothing to stop the more advanced people taking it, they did. If the less advanced people resisted, they were destroyed.
But there is nothing on Earth thatr can not be gotten at with greater ease elsewhere,
I'll take none of the above and just leave things as they are thanks
10:20 in, "the old world"... the arrogance, nay-THE CONCEIT of the people who think they are the elders in the room...😮
All hail Simon Whistler, His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
Like the catapulting out of the solar system..Put on some winter clothes and go travelling. .
Marvin The Martian and his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator!😳 "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!"
Stop giving me nightmares!
NIBURU AAAHHHHH!!!!!!😳😳🥺🥺😲😲😣😣😖😖😖😫😫😫😫😱😱😱😱😱🤨🤨 TOP THAT!!!!!🤣🤣
Odds of a comet hitting us infinitesimally small...
