Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a new discovery that suggests a lot of carbon (and other stuff) inside of us traveled from outside of the galaxy from the circumgalactic medium

I have always suspected that I was an intergalactic being. My mother frequently said, "What the hell is wrong with you?" This explains a lot.

These posts are needed in classrooms around the country. Any country. They are clear and interesting. I had good instructor who did the same but you have that spark.

[animtorfiddler]

Your posts are consistently helpful, providing insights, and prodding me to learn more! Thank you!

Very cool, Anton! I know we’re built from “billion year-old carbon” (Joni Mitchell) but that this carbon came from inter-galactic space truly blows my mind! ❤️

Great stuff Anton,
Making scientific research accessible for us all 🙂

[charlesblithfield]

It’s mind blowing to think of all the processes involved that got a carbon atom that was flowing intergalactically billions of years ago to eventually end up as part of a strand of DNA in your body .

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 👍😎

[isadoremizell-qsnk]

Happy birthday anton hope the best for you and for many years

I finished my intergalactic spaceship. There's only room for me and my dog though. I'll send you guys a postcard.

This is the best galaxy action show, thanks.

"intergalactic traveler" reminded me of that david bowie quote in "The man who fell to Earth":
- what do you do for a living?
- oh, i'm just visiting

It's not Aliens... because WE ARE the aliens! 😂😂

[kaarlimakela]

Happy Birthday! This post reminds me of a song ... 🎵 We are stardust 🎶🎵😊

[fluffytimes]

Thanks so much for your daily videos Anton. Fascinating stuff, all the time! Star dust, yesss! ✨🌟💫🌠✨⭐️💫🌠

Love watching your videos I'm always learning something everybody should do that at least once a day learn something new

[SpamMouse]

Sod the carbon Anton, it's the iron in our blood that impresses me ! 🌞

Joni Mitchell sung we are made of stardust (1969). Carl Sagan said we are made of star stuff (1973).

So, galaxies are a lot bigger than we thought. They're kind of wispy at the edges, though.

I don't know why, but 'that smile' gets me smiling every time.
