When you spoke about light pollution I remembered when I heard about when there was a blackout in a big city and all the lights went out, the police station kept getting calls from people freaking out about the "big colorful streak in the sky".
It was the milky way.

We should have a national holiday where, for one night, cities turn off most of their lights, enough to ward off the light pollution, but still keep things operational.

I went to Death Valley, CA this week, which is known for the best place to see the Milky Way here in southern California...I screwed myself over by not checking the Moon Phase and it turned out it was a full moon on the night I was there. The moon was SO bright we couldn't see the Milky Way as bright as we'd hoped. Anyone thinking of star gazing, check your moon!

I want to learn so much about the space. It gives me chills when I learn something new in this topic. This subject is so vast yet interesting. I could work for NASA as a scientist if given an opportunity for free.

When I grow up (I'm 14 now) I want to be an Astronomer, my friends laugh at me and say that it's not a real job, and that I will not amount to anything if I try to follow this dream, idk why I'm posting this but if you also have this dream don't give it up because your so called friends say it's stupid, Astronomers play an important role in today's society, so get out there and achieve your dreams, as I want to achieve mine!

I'm glad my eyesight isn't good enough to see Uranus.

I have only great things to say about this series. I love the more sober and chill atmosphere. I can only suggest you try more shows with this tone.

Is it sad that I've learned more from crash course than I have from school?

EDIT: Wow that’s a lot of likes! Four years later and here I am still looking at crash course for school help. Stay safe during the quarantine everyone ♥

This was so interesting! Light pollution really does suck - I grew up in NYC, so I basically never saw a single star. In my late teens I'm living in NJ and on a good night I see only a couple of stars (like maybe 5). It fascinates me that people live in places where they can look up and see that many stars every (clear) night. Hopefully one day I'll experience that in person :)

It’s easier to learn about space in these videos than in class because no one will SHUT UP and I can’t learn. Your a life saver!

Even in small cities you can´t really see the sky, the first time I got far from the city and saw the bright cloud of stars and the glow behind them I wasn't sure what I was seeing, I mean, I knew it was the milky way, but pictures in school books don't come close to preparing you to see it, it was f'ing epic, no wonder why ancients believed in gods and magic...
