The only thing I understand less than dark matter is how Anton keeps putting out so much quality content.

[HeaDzmold]

I'm thankful that there's at least 1.19 million of us who know how important Antons points of discussion are.
Add grammar where needed

Anton,
Once again you have amazed me and educated me ! Thank you for making this happen 😊

[joedance]

Thanks Anton! Really appreciate these summary updates!

[littletweeter]

been subscribed for years now and your content has only ever gotten better. keep it up anton <3

[alnmcintyre]

I love the galaxy-cluster-sized simulation clips you find to use in these videos!

[jimcurtis]

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 😊👍

[stevenkarnisky]

Excellent update, Anton. A little better understanding of what dark matter is, and what it does.

[AaronMQuantz]

Pumping out that Space and Sciences gold for our consumption ❤

[RitaElaineHeltonBarker-uzsz]

Much Gratitude & Thanks for all the Hours you spend in research & editing & much Love & Appreciation for your Channel Anton

Since Anton did not say it, let me say the magic words

"HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLE"

[Kadath_Gaming]

When I was a child I set myself a goal to learn something new every single day of my life (including weekends). I want to thank Anton for helping me achieve that goal 🙏

[PvtSchlock]

I like how he's so matter of fact and doesn't lay on this "science communicator" shtick. "Oh guys this is SO exciting.." if he's intrigued you can kinda tell but it's not this show. Just puts it straight. Great stuff.

[marknovak]

Dark matter and dark energy are two things that always drive me crazy. I am glad we are at least starting to see some patterns in it that can point to just what it is.

[danoblue]

While I'm not yet convinced that dark matter and and dark energy really exist, the latest evidence seems to indicate that scientists are at least on the right track. This channel looks objectively at the evidence and presents it in an unbiased way (although Anton occasionally seems to assume that it does exist). Given our current knowledge, it's foolish to have preconceived ideas about the universe. Dark matter and dark energy are interesting concepts which seem to challenge logic. Since we have no better theories, it's good that we try to show whether these concepts are valid or not. Anton, as a retired teacher and lifelong enthusiast of astronomy, I can say that you are an excellent teacher--the comments below demonstrate that quite clearly. Keep up the good work.

Can’t remember the last time I heard about ‘not strange’ or ‘usual’ dark matter findings

[mw]

Maybe dark matter is what existed in the universe before the expansion from the big bang.

[AceSpadeThePikachu]

"Cloud-9" and "R.E.L.I.C.S." Sometimes astrophysicists really slam-dunk naming things.

[SamtheIrishexan]

I have spent most my life on cloud 9. I dont ever wanna come back down from this cloud. Its taken me all this all this time to learn about cloud nniiiinnneee

[mickwilson]

Question, Anton: do any of these findings suggest why quasar formation 1) occured early in the universe and 2) why the rate of formation fell off with time i.e. why do we only have mild AGNs like Seyfert galaxies relatively nearby?
