👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

@18:42 is the most concise and enlightening visualization on how red shift distance calculation works. Amazing!

One thing I enjoy about your channel is your excitement when new discoveries challenge current knowledge. So many others seem to fret.

[rachel_rexxx]

I love that you have such an excited audience that I'm watching the like counter increase in real time. Yay nerds!

I remember gazing up at the night sky in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while on deployment or exercises while stationed on the USS Port Royal. It was amazing!

[SpudicusMaximus]

Lol, the second you started mentioning that you are not a rocket scientist. I thought to myself, 'Time for a colab with Scott Manley!'. Then a second later you drop his name. Too funny.

[panamafloyd]

Stoked that you shouted out to Scott Manley. I'm a spaceflight fan in the US, and that man's channel is amazing.

"Hubbel is getting old it turned 34"... alright why you have to do me like that early in the morning.

[Jari]

Thank you for the video 👍
In Finland, we don't have night at all at the moment... let's look at the stars here 😁

Your chapter breaks are a godsend when you only have 10-15 minutes before class. Thank you!

[muffinpoots]

i used to work for boeing. the problem with the starliner is that it was built by boeing.

The top three of my favorite YouTubers who discuss space-related topics are Dr. Becky, Scott Manley, and Anton Petrov.

I'd never consciously viewed the Milky Way until I worked for the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Once, after delivering re-rations to a ranch in Montana so that they could be delivered to a NOLS class by horsepackers, I'd come close to reaching my maximum allowed driving time (I was a commercially-license driver). So, I drove to a high area in the mountains near Dell, Montana and settled in for the night in the bed of my pickup truck.

I was at least twenty-five miles (40 km) from the nearest highway or electric lighting. As I lay in my sleeping bag with my dog pacing around the truck bed on bear patrol, there was nothing else to do but gaze at the stars. Among the countless stars in the black sky, I immediately noticed the magnificent arc of the Milky Way stretching across the sky from the southwest to the northeast. I'll not soon forget that night.

never thought i'd be so happy to hear the name squarespace

May be the saying "If it's Boeing I ain't going" should also apply for rockets and space.

You might be interested to know that it is a public holiday today in New Zealand in celebration of the rising of the Pleiades star cluster, known as Matariki in Māori culture. I believe it is actually their equivalent of a new year celebration.

Thank you, I'm going to spend this night outside in the nature. Perfect weather and I have one special location already in my mind. If nothing else, it's going to be a fun night listening the 3 body problem audiobook while cycling :D

Was feeling down so I decided to watch your latest Nigh Sky news. Thanks for the pick me up. I always enjoy your review of the latest news. 😊

[JTU.VEGASNV]

You are such fun to listen to and very engaging...those beautiful eyes so happy and that awesome pretty color of your nail polish 🎉😂❤😅lol so glad I stumbled upon your channel thnx so much take care Dr. BECKY 😂❤😊

Looking at the Milky Way was one of the few bonuses to checking the cows due to calve at about midnight or so during our Tasmanian winter. I would sometimes find a nice log to sit on and just look up at the sky for half an hour or so.

5:17 One thing I think is worth mentioning is that, while the tilt in Earth's axis is the reason we have seasons, our seasons are still effected by our distance from the sun. Northern Hemisphere summers are generally milder than Southern Hemisphere summers because we are just that little bit further away. Thank you as always, Dr. Becky!
