This video has been a long time coming - a remaster of one of the very first videos on my channel from the "Our Solar System's Planets" series. Apart from the structure of the script though, not a lot has survived from the original, we have new narration audio, new images, new music, updated information, 4K, etc. So far we have remastered Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, so which planet would you like to see remastered next?

I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm a member of 3 astronomical societies in the UK. One of them has been around since the 1890s. Every week, without fail, at least one of them shows a video by you. I hope you know that your content is not only great for beginners, but viewed by people who have been studying the stars for 60 years or more.

This is the kind of content I wish YouTube would promote more often regardless of what some algorithm thinks people want to see. YouTube has the power to be an instrument for education if they truly wanted to be.

Thanks!
I'm a primary school teacher and for a couple weeks each year I teach about space while using Space Engine and Universe Sandbox. I open up the space-themed weeks with 120 kids listening. Some classes I've been teaching multiple classes, totaling around 4 hours of mostly talking, and over 95% of the kids were still hooked. They are always brimmed with wonder and questions. Every year I come back to a couple of your videos to freshen up on my knowledge, so thanks for that!

There is something about the swirling, intricate vortices roaming Jupiter that I find absolutely stunning. Almost in a fractal-like way.

[xelared]

I have a slight obsession with Jupiter. You could put out a new Jupiter video every week and I'd watch it each time. Such a fascinating planet, and well done as always!

[toms__animations]

Literally very recently been thinking about how scary and interesting Jupiter is

[rick]

Next, please talk about the Jupiter space probes, what they have done, and what we have learned from them.

[austinsapp]

I love the haunting and dramatic music to accompany Jupiter! Jupiter has always scared me to some degree. Just imagine being in the Jovian system and looking up at the Goliath of the planets 😱

[sylnz]

looking at jupiter for the first time through my telescope and seeing the galilean moons and barely making out the cloud bands was kinda magical ngl

[DudeLongcouch]

Amazing video. Jupiter is my favorite planet. Our protective big brother, drawing in asteroids that would otherwise come for Earth and wreak destruction.

[andrebartels]

Now I can't wait to see the video about Jupiter's moons. 😊

[travdaddy]

Before I went sober, I used to love getting "Stupider than Jupiter!" Jokes aside, I worked on a volunteer project that looked at images from a flyby and coded them for spirals. The whole thing was a project to figure out how the gases circulate, which is something that is currently mostly unknown.

[SangheiliSpecOp]

I used my Nikon P1000 super zoom camera (it's like a mini telescope) to get a photo very close to what was at 6:17. It was amazing to see the bands on Jupiter with my own tools. Its different to see these celestial bodies yourself instead of just through youtube videos and documentaries. Its floating out there right now and has an influence on all of us even though most people won't really care to notice it. And it has its own hurricanes, crosswinds, tornadoes and lightning strikes happening right now, but no one is there to witness them. At least... not yet. Hopefully we can get some good video and audio footage of all of our planets one day soon!

Fascinating!
I know there's minimal information and data on Triton (Neptune's retrograde moon), but I'd appreciate a mini-doc on this incredible, captured kuiper belt object.

[moonpluto]

This guy's voice and narration are legendary. Perfect for the subject and these videos. His excitement is contagious.

[rhouser]

It was the first planet I saw with a telescope, to say it had an effect on me is an understatement.

[russellradwanski]

Need more 1+ hour long form content, love to fall asleep to it and then rewatch it at work the following day

[Cory_Dora]

I’m not much of a commenter but I felt compelled to comment on your videos. Your enthusiasm and excitement is addictive and genuine. You have a real passion and it shows. I love the credited content, the real images from space. I trust you and your content. Thank you! ❤

[Vrloopje]

Quite remarkable you put all this information together. It's like a good history lesson from Earth but Jupiter instead. Few can string generally unknown aspects together and make it as relevant and understandable as you. So thanks.
