- Hottest takes in the solar system? Here comes the sun on this explainer, where Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down solar flares, sun spots, and all the things you thought you knew about the star at the center of our solar system.
How big is the sun? We wrap our heads around the scale of our universe and the role of the sun on our planet. If the sun were magically plucked from its spot, how long would it take for us to realize it? What is “solar max”? How to do sunspots work? What about solar flares? Can they break our satellites? We break down the mechanics of the sun’s interior, the merry-go-round effect, and the flipping of the sun's poles. All that, plus, what are deep sea fishes’ experience with the sun?

While looking at the night stars with my 4 yr old, I asked him what his favorite star is. He said the sun. I've never been so proud.
You should be. 👍😉
"I´m serious man!!" - love you chuck
😂
Dude I'm not crazy lol
100%
Sry to bring it here, but my heart weeps when a WM tells a BM he loves them. Now I love you, bro.
This just made my day♥️🌹❤️🌟💕💞♥️💙🌷

Animators, please, PLEASE, bless us with that joke in an animated format.
Ricky Gervaise has one of his stories animated. "The Swimming Elephant"
{Dang! I can't find the version I liked!}

@@TuxedoMaskMusic Thank you Vivi from FF9.
@@TuxedoMaskMusic Dude, that was great!
@@TuxedoMaskMusic The champ!
As much as I love guests on this show, best editions are with Neil and chuck. Period
Yep
Oh my goodness- the urge I feel to animate the fish. I have stuff planned, but I just might.
do it
@@lautabott_uy That settles it- I'm speedrunning finishing my current project, and animating the fish.
Yes, notify us here once you're done
DO IT DO IT
Yes please! I need this.
The fish out of water rant was one of Chucks best!
“That's amazing!” So is Neil. The volume of information he holds in his head and the beautiful way he expresses it to the rest of us.
The only channel on youtube I wish the videos were longer.
The only channel on CZcams I wish that the “funny” person wasn’t a part of
@@dahleno2014 That "funny person" brings interest in a positive way to a somewhat dry subject. Take time to laugh it makes learning so much more interesting. I wish that there would have been many more teams of educators that present the facts with humor. I think a lot more kids would stay in school.
Challenge accepted . I will animate chuck’s voice on a star fish telling all the nemos in the ocean that
I hope you do it! And send it to Chuck so it gets an airing on StarTalk. You may even get him to voice it.
These explainers should be globally mandatory!
I know I'm repeating myself, but what can I say... it's a cycle.
High Chuck is even better than sober Chuck. "I'm not crazy" and that skin blemishes joke just prove it.
Haha, just a little bit.
He is sometimes sober?
I find it ironic that someone commented about this…and thinking immediately about how a couple of years ago I was high for the first time in ages, and was just sitting on the bed and had this sudden compulsion…and simply searched in CZcams “how does the sun work”…and spent the next week on a binge of space/astronomy documentaries
@@trayolphia5756 See? You could be Chuck!
Or maybe you are Chuck??
Or maybe we all are Chuck... 😯
FOUND IT!!!
“The sun, with all the planets revolving around it, and depending on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as though it had nothing else in the universe to do.”
I hate that the show is this short! I could listen to Neil for hours at a time!
I could watch this man talk about any topic all day. So cool and informative! Maybe I'll start learning something useful on CZcams now that I've stumbled upon StarTalk!

I love how animated Neil's explanations are💜 I can imagine crazy concepts thanks to that.
Mann I have a forever Crush on Neil Like I have On Michael Jackson..Once you hear him You just can't get enough.. Classic Make you feel inspired to want to learn have better understanding & an appreciation for LIFE🥳💐
Yassssss!
I like Chuck's humor and I love his shirt. "Science is true whether or not you like it" something like that.
9:26 i feel like Neil avoided saying the actual catastrophe those solar flares can cause to not send his audience into mass panic 🤣😶🤫
I know, I saw a video on other physics channels and is scary in terms of our electronic based economy. Didn’t we dogged a big one on 2010 or 2012 that could have been bad?
@@Drahko12 I kind of remember hearing about one a little more recent then that that might have been an issue. But the thing is, ones that can cause real problems are pretty rare. Our sun doesn't put out many that big at all, and then even less of them pointed in our direction. It's for sure an issue we really should prepare for. But also one we won't likely experience in our lives. Which makes it sad that means we won't do anything. Just like with astroids and climate change.
The Great Global Warming Swindel (A documentary by BBC i want to say) talks about how much more the sun flare has an effect on global warming than carbon emission ever could, say nothing of events like super volcano's the earth survived high carbon emissions in the past (mass extincions of animals happened to be sure) but the Earth was fine.
Just wanted to say Neil . You and Chuck have brought my joy for science and curiosity of nature back with all your episodes . Ohh and Michio Kaku
Only wish my science professor would be like this. The class would be less boring and students would learn much more.
Love me some explainer videos, wishing them to last an hour long! Thank you!
Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is officially the king of CZcams thumbnails!🔥👑🔥
Watching Chuck's eyes light up, and face remorse as he realized he had a "that time of the month" joke, but wasn't allowed to make it, is priceless.
I was SO waiting for that joke to drop, but I guess he caught himself...
I love when Neil just goes on...
I learnt something new today thanks to Neil.
Chuck is always entertaining, great double act.
Please keep making these! you learn something and Chuck can sketch situations that are hilarious its perfect
Always being schooled by this channel. Seriously, some one animate chucks fish story🤣
Fish…school… school of fish.
I see what you did there😉
Please go over the suns whole life cycle, from beginning to end
Carl's Sagan's flatland being a 2D Circle and being taken to a 3D land and put back in and trying to explain a direction that doesn't exist in that realm.
Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote Flatland, the story about the circle/sphere amongst other parts, in 1884. Just for the record, not to diminish Sagan's retelling and further contributions to the "flatland" concept.
Chuck T shirt with Neil quotes wow!!🤩
One of THE BEST episodes of Star Talk, EVER!!!...
1:58 I hope they really do animate that fish speaking the words Chuck said. I doubt they will, but I hope they do. They also spoke of a short film I would like to see of the 8 minutes during which the sun has already vanished.
Neil: "were gonna get someone who will animate a fish with those exact words"
You got it man
shark tales 2
I LOVE Chuck's tale from the fish's perspective!
I had you in my astronomy 101 class at UMCP back in (I think it was) 1983. You made a tremendous impression on me with how animated you were and how stoic and unresponsive the (hundreds of) students were. I never forgot you and it was really cool to see you resurface years later as a pop. sci. personality.
The tangent in the beginning about the fish being plucked out of the water, seeing the sun, and then getting tossed back in and told he's crazy when he describes the sun to all of the other fish is basically Plato's Allegory of the Cave. I'm kind of disappointed that wasn't called attention to.
Basically, Chuck Nice, comic, is a genius.
Thank you for keeping the sciences alive!!!. Educational and entertaining. Keep up the Great content guys!!!
Thank you Neil and Chuck for bringing light and laughter to a somewhat dry factual subject. I wish there could be more teams of educators who would bring laughter into education. I think a lot more kids would stay in school.
Chuck was going to say, ‘as moody as my wife?’…..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fishing we love it! Catch & Release!
Releasing fish after they been caught is super traumatizing for them. They actually go into shock and stop eating until they starve to death. It's better to take it home and eat it.
😭
WOW....you guys never cease to amaze me...simply love these quick antidotes!!
The equator of the earth spins faster through space but at the poles, the direction toward the universe spins faster. But you're moving slower through space. So cool
Guys I love these explainer videos well done ✅
I love this show.
Up here in the province of Quebec, we had a massive power failure several years ago, due to solar flares. I believe Hydro-Quebec (the power company we have here) had to change the spacing of the high-tension towers so that the length of the wires would not act like an antenna for some specific frequencies. I may not have it quite right, but that's how I remember my father, who is a ham (amateur short wave radio operator), explained it to me. I couldn't understand it at the time, but since I've been watching science shows on CZcams, I've been learning more about electro-magnetic radiation. Well, at least enough to know that I don't have a clue about any of this stuff! ; )
Related to the sun and moon light , 1 day a year at about 4:45 am crossing the Mackinaw bridge you can see the crest of the moon set and the rise of the sun at equal levels on both horizons, most amazing visual ever
great little comments about history of sun and moonlight didnt know and was enlightened. thank you
Chucks best performance ever!! Would love to see that animated!
I was hoping Neil give us some curiosities about CME, nonetheless great episode. Chuck was nice as always, I love his humor.
His humor is the primary reason I rarely watch these. He is so cringe.
@@dahleno2014 I think your name perfectly encapsulates you don't have really an arbiters perspective of what is funny. Do you think your name is funny, it sure makes me cringe and marvel at the lack of your education.
Those 'where the Sun don't shine' still need the Sun for survival!
11:15 The Merry-Go-Round effect. Ty for that, it's a great way to explain it.
I know right? I was almost giving up on getting what he was saying but then he threw the merry-go-round and it all made perfect sense.
Such a fun way to learn-thank you guys
Love you guys!!! Thanks for the lessons!!! 🤓😎
In terms of Neils Fish out of water analogy at the beginning, a psychedelic trip is the actual experience of this hapenning
Doing the Billy Mays thing today... Billy's mom passed about 2pm today, and I check out Startalk and, but wait, there's more.
Great explanation of the flares.
I am IT guy with tons of programming and tools to learn, but here i am listening to these guys. 😅
Once again what a brilliant lecture and fun facts on the workings of the Sun.
I’d like to see Neil debunk the Bermuda Triangle and other similar anomalies. I suspect it’s about conflicting magnetic fields. 🤔
These make the perfect start to my morning coffee routine 😎
Iam here , I love this show so much
Thank you for this video Mr. Tyson. I will be representing my local astronomy club at a large outreach event in early December. I will be using a Coronado PST, and will be seeing the sun through a telescope for the very first time. If I can remember your information (at least a portion of it) I think I will be able to answer many of the 100's of questions from the intended audience (3rd-8th graders).
Wow, you are incredible! I am so happy that there are still educators like you that are still interested in bringing truth to our young ❤️
Only Neil deGrasse Tyson can use big complicated words while describing something and still make it totally understandable to those of us who do not have a background in astrophysics or related sciences.
That was an awesome vid. Pure science
Love this
Is there a sun that only emits light that is not visible to the human eye? I can’t find the answer online. So glad I found your videos. I’ve been binge watching them all week.
Magnetars?
I LOVEEEEEEEEE these star talks sooo much. I wondered if it takes 8mins for the earth facing the sun to know that the sun was plucked out, what about the people on the other side of the planet?? What would they experience? And if something suddenly happened to the sun, would the folks on the ISS or satellites that are around the other planets know what’s happening sooner?
Other side of the planet would experience the effects fractions of a second later (0.04 seconds later if my math is correct) than the side facing the sun. Astronauts on the ISS would experience it 0.001 seconds before people on earth assuming the ISS is on the sun facing side of the earth.
The look on Neil's face when Chuck asks if the sun is moody...priceless
These two guys are awesome together.
Chucks fish rant and the sun snatcher idea are great
That would be an amazing film.
There actually is a Georgian short film titled "8 Minutes". It's about dying sun and the last 8 minutes on the earth.
I’d like the see that animation. I’d recommend JohnnyEthco.
ooooou 🌝
I knew so many things about Sun and still, Neil amazed me with so many new things! Cheers with that wine ripen by Sun!
Repeat upload 🤔I'd luv to have Dr Tyson as my Astronomy teacher back in the day👍🏿😎
After this summer i can not wait for Autumn and the cooler weather to arrive.
But wait there’s more 😱😍 Love you guys!
The fish trying to explain to his fish friends what happened part 😂😂😂
Neil y'all should see final space ..I would really love to hear your take on that...
Watching the both of you is a real treat. Lol
It must be the first time I've heard the word " *Magnetohydrodynamical* " and I love it 🤩
I really would love to see all your podcast animated just like they did with the Ricky Gervais show
I'd pay to see that!
Love your books Neil keep it up I would love to meet you one day
Neil and Chuck have the funniest connection. The whole joke at the start about the fish experience of land had me cracking up
Fabulous as always.
How far across (size) do you guys think the H2 nebula we are all made of was?
Great explainer!
This was great!!
Atleast I have one thing in common with the Sun ☀️ we both experience moodiness when we have our cycles.
Oh lord Chuck, you even topped yourself in this one. I don't know how Neil can keep his narrative flowing with you being in fine form. I will have nightmares about that fish now.
Awesome stuff!!!!
Thankyou mate ! I appreciate you !
Would Jupiter be able to keep some of the planets around or is it's Mass to low for that?
I am convinced! Chuck surely came from the water
What an enlightening video.
You guys are Great together!
You guys should do a video about meteor showers!!! I've been seeing so many lately
Great job!
Dr. Tyson, you've been at this for a long time now, seen lots of people blossom in the illumination of your teachings. Have you noticed a change in the audience such that you have to continually up your game because the people you're speaking to already know what's up (because they checked out your earlier videos or watched other communicators who either checked out your videos or covered similar topics separately)?
I love you guys so much! thanks for everything!!!
I would LOVE to see that short film... 8:20 to be exact
I have NOAAs Space Weather as a trash on my browser home screen. I check it daily. I saw that humongous sun spot, but looking like a really huge tear. I didn't get any info for over 3 days. I knew I wasn't the 1st to see it but was confused why the info took so long to get out.
I love Space Science so much! ❤❤
