Bro said if they watch me for an hour they'll watch me for 2 😂😂

Me: "Pretty sure I've learned everything I need to know about astrophysics from you, Simon."
Simon: "Hold my beer."

Simon: The oldest galaxies were pickle shaped
Also Simon: MY PICKLE IS IN A SHEATHE RIGHT NOW

[goodboid]

Moons orbiting moons should be called... "Moonions". Obviously.

[stauros]

Through years of devouring YouTube as white noise I'm proud to say there are only a few things I haven't heard of in this 2h long video from Simon

[mersco]

I think the parker probe is .05%, not 5% the speed of light.

[billyfugate]

Banana galaxies confirmed... brought to you by Sheath 😂

[gmt]

Simon you killed me every time you pronounced geysers as geezers 🤣🤣🤣

[EShirako]

"VERY thin...only 400 kilometers thick." Welp, that's MY sense of scale spraining itself forever. Thanks, Sun! o.O;

[alikaperdue]

I believe you. There is a very very slim possibility that if I learned up against a door, that my head would pop through to the other side.
The problem is, that there usually isn't enough probability left over for the rest of the body.
Violating classic mechanics is all fun and games... until someone losses a head.

[colinhouseworth]

Parker solar probe speed. You were only off by about two orders of magnitude.

[joab]

Just the thought that the moon is tidally locked blows my mind. As well as the sun and moon being the same size in the sky!
We live in a miraculous time

[Makabert.Abylon]

The Parker solar probe will travel at 0.064% the speed of light when it speeds up passing by the sun 2025.

[DenethordeSade.]

Two hours of simon talking about space? HELL YEAH 👍

[Morganstein-Railroad]

Item 1 - Banana Shaped Galaxies. Ever thought about Gravitational Lensing, Whwere the high gravity of an object between us and that which we see curves space so that the image of the more distant galaxy is curved so that it looks banana shaped from our viewpoint.

[toadcemetery]

The golden record being the last fact was so sweet. The record itself is a wonderful thing, and despite how cruel humanity can be it still shows the love we have for our human nature.

[piovertheta]

Can’t believe I finished this whole video instead of sleeping for tomorrow’s workday. Immensely awesome video!

[Mrbiggsta]

Parker Solar Probe is not going 5% the speed of light.
