How Big is the Moon? MM#1

The Moon might be much bigger than you think it is.

Moon May! One video about cool moon stuff every Mo(o)nday in May. Next: Mars' strange Moons!

Videos, explaining things. Like evolution, time, space, global energy or our existence in this strange universe.
We are a team of designers, journalists and musicians who want to make science look beautiful. Because it is beautiful.

Guys. Stop with the insane standard of quality. You're making the rest of the internet look bad.

We'll try something different this month! MOON MAY!
Instead of one big video, we'll make a short video every Mo(on)day in May. We'll talk about really cool stuff that is usually overlooked or not that well known. Like the Moons of Mars, Plutos strange Moons oder Neptunes super cold satellites.

This week: How big is the Moon really? The answer might surprise you.

Next month we'll be back to our usual videos. (and yeah, nuclear energy is coming. For obvious reasons we want to be really happy with the video before we publish it because it's an important topic. And at the moment we aren't there yet. It's done when it's done.)

It's not that huge if it can all fit in my screen

[Alex_Off-Beat]

Does it bother anyone else that we give names to every other planet's moons but we just call ours The Moon? It'd be like if I named my dog The Dog.

"avarage" and "Ganymed" are some misspellings I noticed in the video. I hope you know.

I hate Moon Day, I love wait, that's wrong.

I mean "I hate Monday, I love Moon Day"

Can’t believe how much they’ve continued to improve

[jonasraffel]

i really like the design of your channel :)

[TumbaBitAnimations]

This channel is brilliant! Glad to see the sneak peeks from the Patreon in an actual vidoe :)

1:05 - Fly me to the moon, Let me play among the stars...

[armitx]

Moon day sounds great. I'm looking forward to it.

[alexluna]

[physicsphysics]

You forgot Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell. This "spelling mistake" is due to the fact that Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell is a German channel.

[fishcultist]

i really like the animation on your videos its amazing! you explain science a way i can understand (:!

[AndrewD]

Yes! I have been waiting for more videos, and now one every Monday on my favorite topic! Thanks, Kurzgesagt!

[sophieandthemiracle]

Congratulations on animating a video for the vlogbrothers, Kurzgesagt! That's an incredible achievement *-*

I think you have truly succeded in making a difficult topic easily comprehensible for the broad public through aesthetic and clever design - to make science, or politics, fun. Just what Hank and John Green also aim at: free educational resources which are ambitious, modern and beautiful.

It's great of you to contribute to that important cause - and as I already pointed out in some comment (but it's worth repeating :D), your enthusiasm for the topics really shows in your videos causing them to be awesome ^^

[davisjugroop]

All the week days should be revised - Moonday, Marsday, Mercuryday, Jupiterday, Venusday, Saturnday and Sunday

[StalePhish]

It's remarkable when you see the true distance to the moon @1:03 and remember that we sent humans there way back in 1969.
