Introduction to Our Solar System

This HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music introduces the viewer/student to our spectacular Solar System. It is designed as a motivational "trailer" to be shown in classrooms by Earth Science, Physical Science and Astronomy teachers in middle school, high school and college as a visual Introduction to the awesome features of our sun, planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and comets.

Please rate this video and feel free to comment. If you like it, please help me spread the word by posting links on your media websites. The more students who can enjoy these dramatic videos, the better!

I wish to thank all the quality video and music producers whose postings enabled me to assemble this video for educational use. IN particular, I wish to thank all the developers of the free space simulation program, "Celestia". Many of the scenes in the video were produced by that program.

To best enjoy this video, turn up your speakers. The music is very powerful and dramatic!

Let’s be honest ur science teacher brought u here

[erazimoth]

Beautiful. I am schooling my oldest at home and we use your videos to begin our science studies. They are so awe-inspiring its bringing the "wonder factor" to her science studies. She loves them and asks to watch them over and over.

As a homeschool teacher, I search out video motivators for each subject we cover; this one and your Intro to Earth Science have the perfect combination of image and sound to keep my student's interest through the lesson. I have also passed your site on to my colleagues, in public secondary schools, who have been very excited by what you have done here.

The more you try to make sense of it, the less you can. Yet, it all seems to be working out pretty well up there. Amazing.

I am glad you like them. I would request that you share my videos with a link to my channel or individual videos on your website or blog, rather than downloading them and reposting them. That way, the views for the videos come to my channel as the originator. Thanks

Frank, the music as the images showed in the video are really beautiful... Our solar system is so big that maybe we can't even imagine all the planets...all the moons...that "populates" our system, thanks you for these 4 beatuful minutes :)

I watch it often to remember how awesome the universe is

[scottoldfield]

Bless you Frank!!  Your students must adore you!!
Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work!  These will be amazing to heighten our students interest for each unit!!  I will share with all our science staff.  THANK YOU!!

Thanks a lot Frank. Your video on solar system has helped my daughter, who is in Class II, to understand the subject. Also thanks again for making the videos freely available. They are rich in content. Salute!!

[MusicaCraft]

I proudly and in honour salute The Solar System.
Such an amazing and beautiful creation!

I am a science teacher with Inside the Outdoors; every week we host 5th and 6th grade students from around Southern California at camps in the San Bernardino mountains. Astronomy is one of the many subjects we teach, and your videos are absolutely incredible. May I have permission to use this video in my astronomy presentation? Might I also ask for a version of this without the text? (Except for the credits, of course).

ROCKING
i have never seen a thing like this

[flsec]

Thanks for getting back to me so fast Frank. I've had Celestia ahwile but now I'm just starting to really get into it. I've been messing with 3D apps for years, but using a game engine to render is a lot different so it's going to take some adjustments.

[soozenw]

This is awesome! Thanks for the great video!

[flsec]

How are you getting such top quality videos out of Celestia? Mine are just too aliased. Otherwise, they look good. Almost ready to start shooting, editing and posting.

[WeFIOCommunity]

Stunning. Can't wait to use this before my space science unit this spring!

[dianalyngperkins]

Just discovered this channel! Thanks for the great work on so many science topics!

[monicaradka]

All your videos are great. You have a gift!
