the process of writing a telescope proposal and the way it pans out would make a great series!

[Rubrickety]

Many thumbs up for "Duck Matter". That was adorable.

[terryendicott]

The "theory of duck matter" sounds like quackery.

[psygremlin]

I absolutely love that you didn't edit the ducks out of this!

[peternakitch]

Please keep us in the loop about how the proposal and investigations go.

[RichardBreen]

Wonderful "narrative arc" to this video - and a cliffhanger too. I will be interested to see where this goes.

[flynnezrabeckman]

Brilliant! Exciting to see Dr. Becky's deductive process, passion, and a plan of observation to provide more evidence!

[gerttherude]

I love the talking to the cameraman thing, really helps the dynamic :) ty for making content understandable by idiots (like me) and intellectuals

[morkmon]

Ooh this telescope time proposal sounds exciting. It would be really cool to follow this process from idea to result

[hellionfi]

I was like "Wow, that's some scientification of the popularization of science - can't wait for the results of that telescope time proposal" - and then see that most of the top comments are about ducks. They were cool too, though.

M94 is one of my favorite galaxies, mostly because I love that bright blue ring of stars. I'm all for knowing more about this galaxy.

[SuperShadowPay]

I suddenly fell in love with this channel a few weeks ago. Excited for my first new upload to the legendary Messier project!

[ylnux]

I thought I was seeing a sixty symbols video, then I realized this is a new colaboration with Dr Becky :)

[Olsfen]

Youtube analytics don’t show them, but I know from experience that Brady is big in the duck community.

[ChrisTurchin]

I love these videos so much, sometimes just put the playlist on to run in the background on a lazy day. And the fact that one can read and enjoy the comments as well (mostly avoid YouTube comments like the plague) is an added bonus. 😂 #duckmatter

[jakeroberts]

PLEASE give us any updates on this galaxy and it's dark matter controversy!!! Genuinely interested now 🌌

[Scribe]

I like Dr Becky...she's full of life

[garyhuntress]

Please submit this proposal because I want to hear the results in a future Deep Sky

[iansharmacook]

I would love to see a vid on how such proposals are put together!

The giggle at 2:48 is the best sound ever.
