Bill Nye and my father helped me fall in love with science, especially astronomy, and have kept my interest ever since. Sadly, my dad isn’t here anymore, but I hope to get my son as interested as he did with me.
I’m sure he will ☺️
Hopefully Bill sees this
Why is this exact same comment made by at least 24 different people?
@@DeltaH-9 the plot thickens!
Bill Nye this so-called science guy also believes that gender is a spectrum. Lol
Bill Nye the science guy is a fraud.
He’s a comedian with zero degrees in science that was accidentally hired to do a children’s TV show because he was doing a bit as a nerdy scientist at a comedy show and the executive with Asperger‘s didn’t realize he wasn’t a real scientist. True story.
So much info but he explained everything in a way that everyone can understand easily
Now do gender
remarkable! he is a gifted teacher. he has explained complex things practically and no nonsense.
Cause it was wrote for him like that
@@ejim941099 - Bills speaking off the cuff, he’s extremely educated and speaks the same when doing live talks. I know it’s hard to believe educated people exist.. after writing a sentence like the one you did… but they do exist.
The most you could say is that it was edited to leave out some of the questions, but then you would be just being a silly nilly for doubting the all knowing Billy… Nye… the Science Guy
@SoFarSoGood - I was going to say… unfortunately, while Bill Nye always explains things to us in such manner which you would _think_ *everyone* could easily understand… there will always be people who will never understand.
not going to lie in the opener "were taking pictures of these objects with astonishing precision, its like.... whoah" took me back to school with Bill Nye the Science Guy... always will be a fan. 👍
James Webb is already challenging our estimations on how old the universe is! We found so many giant galaxies only 200 million years after the big bang, in which we didn't even know what possible!
Things are going to change in astronomy in a few years
Exactly, and Bill Nye didn't even talk about the implications those images have on the big bang theory.
It is not exactly Photoshopped since wavelengths are mapped to colors. It is not as if every pixel is chosen, a function is used to map the image to visible. The overall beauty exists in nature itself
You funny thing is someone said this to me in the last week. They said NASA has Photo shopped the space images. I was wondering how someone came to that conclusion. I understand it now. Like you said it's not actually photo shopped.
Exactly, I hate how they say it, those structures are still there, it's just colored so we can see it
Well it has to be photoshopped because if you've ever seen a thermal infrared photo it looks nothing like that
@@timothy4077 There are lots of Hubble photos that show the clouds of dust of this exact nebula, in visible light, look at the images Webb took of Jupiter, it's not the correct color but the basic structure is still there.
@@el.blanco8961 what I mean by photoshopped is that the colors have been edited to look aesthetically pleasing. Like how a model gets their blemishes photoshopped away. The structure is still there for the model. And I'm pretty sure they actually used photoshop to create the picture.
Why is this only 5mins?! Like for real… a Bill Nye episode should last like a series does! 😭😤🤯🤯🤯
Bill nye taught me science when I was really young, and through our middle school, and I’m convinced bull nye isn’t a science guy, he is *the science guy.*
I took Astronomy my senior year of high school and I’m so glad I did, I loved learning about all of this stuff and explaining the new images to my family members :)
Knowing highschools though they probably found a way to make it boring
@@Eric12886 it definitely was at some points, i couldn’t wrap my head around all the math that went into it but everyone’s different :)
You are lucky dude they offer you subjects like sstronomy at high school
I wish my high school had astronomy as a subject because I'm so interested in it
I'm amazed by the print quality of the picture
Lol these are "DEPICTIONS" I read the comments and laugh at how HIGH everyone's IQ is.... (Not) 😂
i really loved those pictures when they first came out. Compare them hubble and it's crazy how much technology has advanced in a few decades.
Fun fact, due to how speed of light works, we are looking into the past. It takes X years for the light to reach us, so we really are looking at something that happened thousands of years ago, and it's probably already gone.
Millions or billions of years ago, actually
@@rodguerra5555 o okay, thanks. felt i was low-balling.
For what its worth, the farthest things observed are about 13.5 billion light years away, or about 100 million years after the "big bang" which is now in question due to the telescope
@@rsbandbj1 you're not wrong, Bill mentioned in the video that one of the stars is 1000 light-years away, so what we're seeing now is what happened there a thousand years ago.
As far as I know, Mars could suddenly be undergoing a planetary scale earthquake that somehow breaks the poles causing a planetary tsunami, we'll only know in 10 minutes.
The closing remarks though!
Carl Sagan and his intense quotes, love it
Good to see Bill here again
this is insane, i was barely alive for the US moon landing and now here we are. That's a very fast timeline, in another 100 years I can't imagine what we will find. I hope to see a person on Mars in my lifetime, that will be the single biggest human achievement in space exploration, not observation but exploration.
and there were people alive when we got to the moon that didnt have cars, let alone planes when the were young
Mars scares the crap out of me. Dust storms throwing red sand at the speed of sound. Everything we land on Mars with eventually disintegrates like in a giant sand blasting machine.
Love Bill Nye. His new series "The end is Nye" was a treat
I ♡ Bill Nye. He helped me to become interested in science at young age. Thank you for making science easy enough for us common humans.
Bill Nye is probably one of the only people that became a television personality while still keeping a credible background in their original career.
Creditable. Hahahahaahahahaha.
Nope.
He was an Antivaxer until very recently.
Only changed his mind after being confronted by overwhelming scientific evidence and shamed by the Scientific Community...
...
Better late than never I guess.🙄
he's a mechanical engineer... he's not a scientist nor an astronomer, not a chemical engineer, or a biologist or a dr ... couldn't be any less of a scientist if he was a plumber ffs . also he denies biology when he talks about mUh GeNdEr
What original career are you talking about? He isnt a scientist
He’s an actor… that’s all
Now I understand so much more thanks to this video. Thank you Mr. Nye, one question: since a planet's orbit around it's star can sometimes take more than one year, is the entire wide field being monitored continuously?
Yes, I thought I'd go ahead and ander your question since he didn't make this video himself thus the chance of him answering it are pretty slim
A planet's orbit is defined as 1 year.
a earth year is different then another planets year. they monitor the same star and if the see a pattern of llight shift they know how long that planets year is. however some planets might take 50 earth years to be one and in that case we would have not seen that planet or not be 100 percent sure it was until atleast a few orbits.
Do you know what the word "depiction" means???? The IQ is ... LOWwwwwww
@@wildmillardz8934 That would require cosmic levels of patience.
I have absolutely no idea how the Webb telescope works. But Bill Nye still keeps me engaged and entertained, just like the good ol days of elementary school 🤣
The images show that the big bang theory never happened, but im surprised why Nye didn't even mention so.
We need more Bill Nye
Bill Nye the post modern wokeist guy
and less religion...
Engineer. Not even a scientist. How is he the person to speak on this topic.
Yes.
@@chairmanofthebored6860
Qualifications only really matter when someone is stating something like "in my professional opinion ...........". Since otherwise as long as the info being imparted is accurate and factual credentials don't matter, thats why News presenters can talk about all kinds of topics they have 0 personnel knowledge of, its the accurate and factual basis of the info that matters. Yeah i agree probably be better to have one of the actual image specialists doing the talking, but the fact is they are probably a lot busier than BIll Nye, so its a lot easier to schedule guys like Bill who are basically professional talking heads.
Well, I love everything with space, but it's always hard to understand. So thank you Bill for making it a bit easier to try to comprehend what it all means... 🤩🥳
Each element has its own infrared wavelength, very much like a fingerprint. This helps a lot when trying to determine what elements make up…. everything
Bill Nye is still the GOAT i remember seeing him in science class in 1999 for the first time.
@4:56 Titan has methane, does that mean it might have life? Or is methane also fairly common around in space?
Can we get a movie in theaters with Bill and Neil explaining and just looking at large
They truly will be astonishing too.
Thank you Bill Nye for being dedicated to making science more accessible!
Bill Nye is amazing🤩
THANK YOU RIGHT ON WAY TO GO BILL 👍
Aren't the mirrors on James webb exposed and hasn't there already been scratches and how do those scratches or any damage to the lens or surfaces get repaired or cleaned?
This stuff honestly scares me. It's fascinating but just still scary
man,I love this guy
I've never seen anyone substantiate the whirling, twirling, hurling, hurtling, wibbling, wobbling, zipping and zooming, spinning space ball earth. Have you?
One of my elementary teachers back in the day actually did an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy..lucky
I love u bill Nye the science guy I had a crush on u growing up lol.
Amazing!
Listened to Bill Nye since I was a kid, and will always do so!
Woah, indeed. Wow, as well.
"we are the universe observing itself"
Bill Nye the engineer guy
BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!
Bill Nye the Jewish guy is more accurate
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I last watch bill nye the science guy in school
Fantastic!
Geez Bill changed alot the last time I saw was in year 9 science
Whoa!
Bill Nye is the man!
One of Bill Nye's better explainer vids
Bill Nye is "the guy" I also have a science interest because of him
Not only supernovae. Also Fusion of heavy stellar objects.
BILL NEYE Littlerly at school everyone cheers when the thecher says we are just going to watch bill bye today he is an icon
Just thought of a question for anyone to answer, is the transitory method of identifying exoplanets limited by the sheer time we've been looking for them? Ie. Say we've roughly been watching for 30 years, is any planet with an orbit greater than 30 earth years guaranteed to not have been identified? If so could that not raise the estimated number of exoplanets by a lot, maybe even orders of magnitude?
Space objects are so beautiful and amazingly large in comparison to our Solar System. Someday I hope to visit the Universe in Spirit.
I have wondered if our 'souls' take a tour of the Universe after we die. Such tours might include going into and out of black holes. Since a soul has no mass, presumably it would not be destroyed by the black hole. What a ride that would be!
@@MikeL-oo2ht Absolutely
@@MikeL-oo2ht no it doesn't, because souls don't exist.
stop believing in fairy tales, when you die, it's the end.
what you believe is just the product of your fear of death.
Thanks Bill
Nicee another space weedioo
In the grand space we are just a speck of dust in the middle of nowhere👍
2:43 You ever follow someone who is following you on RuneScape? That’s what’s happening here.
It's so nice to have something to look forward to amidst all this terrible stuff going on right now. It sometimes feels like as time goes on things will get worse and worse and worse. But not for science at least.
Oh no, you’re not factoring the land owners who will keep you here because they have their own survival in mind and the masses that toil for them to have the comforts. Even taking your science and using it to continue to lord over us.
Love watching Bill Nye the science guy in school
Why haven't they pointed the JWST at the alpha Centuri star system?
We are not alone. It's kind of egotistical to think there isn't other life in a practically infinite universe.
Chills
Man I love science!!
Using the term "Basically Photoshopped" can lead to some issues down the road, but I understand it is hard to explain how the astronomers do this in layman's terms.
4:41
JWST❤️
i didn’t quite get that with the rolling skates can someone explain in Spanish if they can thanks
Looks like the beginning of a white dwarf star or nebula and cell membrane
HELLZ TO THE YEAH BILL!!!!!!!
Bill, Bill!
Hi Bill. It is astonishing to me that you do not seem to know Kanunnik Lemaitre (the catholic kanunnik that described the big bang).
Yesss king Bill!
Bill is wrong about one thing though. It's supernovas, not supernovae. Loan words do not retain the grammar of the source language. All words in an English sentence follow English grammar.
Wrong about 2 things then, because that is not how we were made, God is how we were made.
Nye is so greatye!!!
Wait. So that nebula isn’t really that red?? It’s enhanced?
The science guy, Dr Bill Nye
The Jewish guy is more accurate
0:58 🧐
Thank you, Bill Nye the Science Guy
Year 3000 we'll get there
If you were standing in front of it though, wouldn’t you see it? I thought the light was only in infrared because it shifted to the infrared.
Stick to medicine.
Bill Nye the Science Guy!
Tell me what a quasar is? according to BB they are protogalaxies? in fact they say our milky way was one during its early evolution, correct? then by logic the further we peer back in time with the JWST the more we should see of these forming? in fact thats all we should see the further we peer back after a certain point if the BB is correct, but what do we see? formed galaxies? does this not puzzle you? PLASMA COSMOLOGY VS BIG BANG MYTHOLOGY EXPLAINED. look it up.
Oh mint.Bill Nye the science guy.i only know of him because of Sheldon off the big bang theory.this was a good clip to find me .the algorithm worked in my favour today and thanks to this comment and like the algorithm can please me in the future maybe 🐜
BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!- never gets old.
BILL BILL BILL
imagine they develop a technology that allows faster then light travel for spacrafts/humans. now imagine if that tech was developed to be dirt cheap as well. i know it seems like a longshot but i would love to have my own spacecraft traveling the universe discovering new places.
Same
IF the planets are going around that sun, like the hands on a clock, you would not see any dimming, the planets would need to travel in a horizontal plane to us, in order to see a dimming.
We're made of star's dust, amazing fact
0:40
We are the Universe looking back at it's self!!!
Bill Nye the Science guy
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
I don't agree with the two stars (holding hand annology), because of the color difference between them. My view is one star is really far (the red one) , and it is just the alignment that gave us this illusion.
Bow ties are cool
BILL!
I hope it's not oversimplified to the point of being inaccurate, but I describe it to people as a Color By Numbers picture before it gets enhanced by NASA artists.
You heard them repeat the word "depictions" (artist renderings) the whole world is a 🤡
@@CeeBarrio1 You sound psychotic.
if you could put the universe into a tube you'd end up with a very long tube, probably extending twice the size of the universe because when you collapse the universe it expands and you wouldn't want to put it into a tube
picture a hot dog bun and throw all the stars, the hundreds of stars that are in the universe into a bag then....
I'm not a fan of the photo shop cause that's a thing nowadays and then they so happened to have this device which is involved with Photoshop but not exactly like our Seattle light that can spot a nickel on the ground without Photoshop...I think if it's not broke don't fix it... like the sensitive idea
What an actual Legend, I wouldn’t listen to anyone else on this subject.
How incredibly hyperbolic. He does a great job at explaining sometimes difficult concepts to the lay person, but saying you wouldn’t even listen to anyone else speak about space is just… dumb.
toxic doug
he's a mechanical engineer, definitely not an astronomer or a scientist 🤦🏻♂️🙄
Listen carefully to the Carl Sagan quote just after the 2 minute mark!
i love bill nye
Need a sci-fi movie called "The Others"
