This is definitely the most informative, active, interesting, and up to date space channel currently on youtube.

Thank you Anton!

What id really like to say to you is that I'm a bit old now, I remember well the days before pcs and the internet. 7 year old me would've absolutely fallen in love with your channel. Ive started watching it with my son. He's only 4 so really enjoys the animations as well as my own, admittedly feeble attempts to explain these complicated phenomena. Its a wonderful time to be young, curious and interested in the universe as we plunge into an era with almost everyday discoveries covered by people such as yourself. Cheers, and keep going, dont ever stop. Do it for the kids.

Someday a glowing spaghetti will appear in the center of our galaxy and we'll rename the black hole Spaghettarius A* 👍

That more realistic simulation looks gorgeous.

The event was so huge it was seen by a civilisation who would not come into existence for millions of years.

A long time ago...
in a galaxy far, far away....
a million voices cried out in terror...
and were suddenly silenced.

I decided not to research this event because I knew that you would make a video.
A video showing all relevant information.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you, Anton.

Hi Anton. You often mention BH's emitting astrophysical jets. I don't understand how these jets are formed and a vid' explaining the mechanism of their formation would be very informative.

[nicklawton]

I'm loving the new camera, man; great addition!

[milkbones]

Your videos are so informative and factually correct. I love watching them! Keep them coming!!

How can anyone deny the flying spaghetti monster now?!?! Pastafarians RISE UP

Black hole: *spaghettification*
Italian: Are you challenging me?
Black hole: *heavy sweating*

It's amazing we can figure that out from just a pixel blob here on earth. Humans got some large feelers. Animals can sense some stuff better than us naturally but it's almost like we're catching up consciously with our clever awareness techniques.

Earth:
ARE YOU THE KILLER
Black hole:
No I promise
Earth:
WE GOT YOU ON CAMS

[rockscousteau]

Your uploads are THE BEST Anton. Every night when I upload watch yours. Keep up the good work never miss an episode.

[kindGSL]

I think you are awesome. A truly wonderful person.

[cocoramos]

How do you not have more than a million subs yet?! This is absolutely THE BEST CHANNEL on YouTube for astronomy and current deep space discoveries! Thank you Wonderful Person!

[LMde]

Thanks Anton. Top notch, as always. I hope your move went well, and you're all happily settled in?

[wadeskelton]

Anton - might be fun if you talked about some of the inaccuracies regarding space/astronomy in some sci-fi movies - just an idea for additional content for you - love the vids man!

Whenever people falsely claim scientists are awful at naming things, I remember that they came up with "spaghettification" and smile to myself.
