Humans when they see Oumuamua:
Just a Comet.
Aliens when they see Voyager:
Just a metallic asteroid.

Interstellar object: *exists*

Astronomers: O M U A M U A

2:01 i love solar system animations, reminds me of my dreams where I am in space and the magnitude of distance is nerve-wracking.

[cavey]

1:55 She really gets excited about Interstellar Objects. I can tell.

[petersclafani]

This show I always watch it's the best show on astronomy and science in general.

[ravenlord]

Flies into the solar system, sees Earth, and then accelerates away? Definitely signs of high intelligence.

[jpumphrey]

Yess. My review in science came here. This is just extra review because I have a test on Monday, but it's good to study.

"The object's shape was mystifying."

Me: You should've seen some the aftermath I've done to toilets...

[beerkenstein]

So it has a shape of a spacecraft, it is faster than anything in our solar system, it accelerates like no comet we have seen, but we ruled out the possibility it is artificial. Cuz it had no radio signal for 8 hours. Sure.

[rireigmaki]

Imagine if it was an alien ship disguised as a weird-looking rock and the reason why they didn't get any messages is because the aliens were like "oh no we can't talk with those people, let's get out of here". 😂😂

Upload full video How The Universe Works is the best documentary

[adityakuliyal]

Please make a video on cosmic rays. I wanna know more about them

Narrator: 0:11 We live in a solar system
Me: We live in a van

[tomkop]

How many shows does Mike Rowe narrate? It seems i hear him eyerywhere. Well...he has the voice for it. 👍

[voidremoved]

I missed the Visitor because I was blinded by her High Beams on full blast! 1:54

[tomreif]

would be nice to stick some sort of sensor on it

[DonEBrooke]

3:26 damnit, we're still on this thing?! i thought it was a new interstellar object, or more RECENT one beside Mua Mua.

[Chris-opyt]

comet vs asteroid is an outdated classification based on old belief that water was rare, and also on the belief that an easy distinction can be made. both are false.

[majiclamp]

These scientists are outgassing. Mere speculation that Omuamua was outgassing making it a comet. Wow! No signals detected. Maybe eight hours isn’t enough time in they’re busy schedules.
