Love what you do - bit of physics (layman friendly) bit of astronomy, bit of history, bit of humour, all beautifully woven-together with some delightful turns-of-phrase. Favourite YouTube channel bar none, thanks, Nick!

[esquilax]

Dear algorithm: Nick is an outstanding one-man documentary team whose videos are always fascinating. Please promote him more

[honeyj]

Cheers from 🇨🇦I have always enjoyed your top ten lists.

Your content is unique. You just don't go with the latest fad, like most of the others. Unique and precious. That's the way to go!

[zerogravity]

Im excited for this one this channel never disappoints, no doubt James Webb will be in there somewhere, thank you P.Nick

[squish]

You have a great way of making astronomy easier to understand. Keep up the great work.

[gaylord]

Thank you thank you thank you Nick at last something brilliant to watch from the best on you-tube again
Thank you 🙏🏻. Nick

Can't begin to thank you enough. Your videos have kept me well entertained & focused, away from the usual annoyances inherent of a stay in hospital / surgery recovery.

[MetaalArbeider]

Better late to the party than missing it. You keep on delivering awesome content! Thank you so much for your work.

[Paul-qrlk]

Nick is making YouTube a better place... waiting for your videos 👍🍺🙋🏻‍♂️...

[garynelson]

The best astronomical channel on YouTube.

I love the video and extensive research, great delivery as usual.

Thank you Nick! I look forward to these long videos and watch them for a few weeks when they come out.

Your opening statement on discovery...haha, yes!
It's like a horizon we chase: it leaves morsels of beauty, truth and/or disappointment in our path.
Beautiful beast's, are discovery and the drive to discover, fellow seeker's.

[SofaKingShit]

Even the opening music theme is amazing. The sense of awe and wonder imparted by the tune Nick used on this is perfectly suited for this channel. For anyone wondering it's "Red Giant" by Stellardrone.

[Empdizz]

Been waiting all year for this video. Thanks Nick.

[davidkelley]

Got here as fast as I could. Been waiting on pins & needles since PN announced & I know this will be great!

[LordBitememan]

You know, outside the current events stuff I always wanted to mention that your videos remind me a lot of the stuff I used to study at the University of Michigan under Professor Rudi Lindner about the History of the Discovery of the Universe.

[parallaxnick]

20:52 "... star formation" was obviously supposed to be "...planet formation".

[jssomewhere]

This may be the video you produce I look forward to more than any other every year.

[ChrisCVW]

The way you say “beast” having me chuckling into my morning coffee

[stephenricks]

Always excited to have a new PN video waiting when i get off work.
