"Forget it" Dumbledore said calmly

[jamesholt]

"Forget it!"
starts violently destroying the office

[Smileypieman]

“And we tell ourselves that that’s space…” gave me the shivers bro

[StunnaKaitoKid]

That "forget it!" knocked my socks off 🤣

[JoelBDUK]

I like Neil when he has no one to interrupt

[aprophetofrng]

"FORGET IT!"

Startled me. I don't even remember what he told me to forget, that's how effective it was.

[sushimushi]

Man just loves what he does and makes us love it too. Love that he explains simply for everyone

The perspective is crazy.

For anyone curious, if Mars is 1 mile away in this model, then the nearest star system is approximately 3/4 of the distance to the moon, at around 180, 000 miles.

The Andromeda Galaxy in this model, our closest galaxy, would be approximately 107, 000, 000, 000 miles away.

Janitor: “you need office clean?”
Neil: …

[seraphinaaizen]

About 441'450 miles, for anyone wondering.

Assuming that globe is about nine inches in diameter.

[BbbBnb-kgci]

Secretary: uh sir, your client just want to invite you to a lunch.

[nathannorman]

Context: Neil was asked to move the globe slightly for a better shot

[YeezyMcgeezy]

He said that shit like a mob boss “Fuhget it!”

[mikewalker]

You gotta love this guy for his ability to make complexity seem simple.
