  • Thanks For Info

  • I love Your Video you man :)

  • So Cute this Video, Thanks For Shared

  • just lovely

  • awesome video Youtube I Like it

  • Like the video, but i HATE YOUTUBE'S GREY BAR...!!

  • I love, Nice

  • I Love This Video

  • I Like This Video You :-bd

  • I never understand why we explore space before the sea.

  • very informative video

  • Thanks for the great video

  • nice job WISE ^_^

    

  • Anyone notice the Science Channel uses what looks like brown dwarf star that stretches out like in this video of the two stars circling one another? I am really starting to wonder if a brown dwarf is really the destroyer...

  • mary had a little lam

  • Wish they mentioned if the satellite did some changes or fine tuning to the telescope as it makes the second pass.

  • @Hornet85 at least this one they seemed to have got it right the first time ;)

  • "...next may". Well that gives NASA enough time to erase any UFO's, how convenient!

  • I LOVE IT!

  • GRAY BAR SUCKS Fire the idiot

  • If say our solar system was NORMAL, like so many others, it would stand that there is a brown dwarf orbiting our sun albeit eliptically. the idea that Niburu exists and can only really be seen by an infared satelite, is something someones gonna have to answer for. what gain is there in keeping it a contraversal mystery?

  • I love how this narrator, and his buddies - talk to us as we're monkeys.

  • "WISE"?

    Am I the only one who's about ready to vomit from the tradition of "clever" acronyms as names for new technology/organisations?

  • he whole earth extinctions happen at a regular rate , some believe a companion star to the sun is to blame dragging objects out of the asteroid belt and Platonic system , even one of the stars in the pointer to the sorthen cross is a suspect ,

  • More pointless money-wasting by NASA. How is this useful? When the hell are we going back to the Moon?

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1 When man actually has the technology to do it.

  • @amanwithdreams

    We had the technology in the 1960's, don't even try and tell me we don't have the technology now. Of course we do. Unless we're somehow less advanced than we were over 40 years ago.

    The truth is, NASA are just a bunch of unambitious wasters who won't spend money on anything worthwhile. We don't NEED yet more telescopes and satellites to spot galaxies billions of lightyears away, or spot dim light, etc. It's absolutely pointless.

    It's time to actually DO something worthwhile.

  • Comment removed

  • @LordKilmir How come there's no video of it then ? they film about everything out there but not something as important as the installation as the reflectors ?? I would sure like to see it. That would convinced me out of all doubt (i just have little doubt hehehe).

  • @megaverse

    The video clips were bad quality and there was very limited storage capacity. There is a clip on the Apollo 11 Video Library showing Buzz looking for a spot to install the reflector (apparently it shows him carrying it, but like I said the quality is really bad).

    Also look up Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment. Or just go to watch?v=fuZiU70OcnY

  • @amanwithdreams what can we achieve sending more men to the moon?

    how will it help us? is it worth it.

  • @amanwithdreams There have been several missions to the moon already... They brought back samples too and since its just a grey rock I can see why they didnt go back. They reached the moon and the race beat the russians to it so there was no reason to keep going.

    Also its possible to see part of the moon lander that was left behind when they left the surface..

  • @gordon1201

    I dunno. You should type in "Moon landing hoax" and watch the documentary. Some of the evidence is startling. It's not just a conspiracy, there's very good reason a lot of people believe we never actually landed on the Moon. Keep an open mind

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1 What evidence do you mean? The flag waving in the "wind", the shadows coming from different directions, the slowing down of the footage showing the astronauts moving in earth gravity, the stars missing from all of the pictures and video footage etc? Ive seen a number of documentaries and all of them can be debunked. Just search "moon landing hoax debunk" (or something to that effect) and youll see all evidence poiting to a hoax is easily debunked.

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1 You are the one who doesn't have an open mind. I have extensive knowledge, which means I know that the moon landing happened. You don't, and because you were born at a time when people can slap together a bunch of B.S. for those who have no knowledge on basic science about the physics, gravity and the cosmos, you are willing to swallow it just like fundamentalist Christian B.S. and not question it and then say, "Have an open mind." - Oh, please knock it off, Its insulting.

  • @truvelocity

    You don't "know" anything and it's foolish to assume you do. And until you accept this, you will never be open to differing possibilities.

    To you, it's just a bull-shit conspiracy theory, but you have no knowledge of WHY this conspiracy theory exists. There is STRONG EVIDENCE to suggest the Moon landing never happened, and little to no evidence to the contrary.

    I'm open to the possibility that it may have happened despite what I think, but you are stuck in one mode of thought.

  • @truvelocity

    And please, do tell of this "evidence" that the Moon landing happened. Bestow your vast knowledge upon me, because I WANT to believe it happened, I really do...

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1

    lol you don't think the moon landing happened?

    I think I believed that a little in highschool, but every point that was made had a counter point that made sense. Eventually it just dawned on me it was more far fetched that we went through the effort to fake it than actually do it.

  • @LoryLandskipper I think they did it of course but still ...the entire american history is a lie or a deformation to look better so it wouldn't suprise me in the end that they pull something that monstrously big. It will just add to the 9/11 conspiracy, lol and no one will care in week like always.

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1 So true! Its soooo exasperating how much money is wasted in stupid satelites and telescopes when the knowledge we get from them is totally useless!

  • @gordon1201

    Yeah, exactly. NASA could take a leaf out of Virgin's book. At least they're ambitious enough to make space tourism a reality with their Virgin Galactic project. At least they're actually doing something that matters.

  • @TheMarkOfTheBeast1 I totally agree, imagine if NASA could design a simple reusable spacecraft and make the blueprints available to private companies. Maybe they could even setup a factory to build them in high volume (if theres enough interest). This could be the jumpstart needed to get the private sector interested in space.

  • Is Ben Oppenheimer a post-op lesbian?

  • Is it possible that our solar system has a brown darf that we just haven't discoved yet, or is it completely out of the question?

  • @youngn420 brown dwarfs reflect light like everything else so if there were any in our solar system, we would have discovered them a looong time ago since they are quite large compared to the planets and moons.

  • @Keitaro333 actually we do have a brown dwarf doesnt mean we gotta see it there's another sun in our solar system we are in a binary solar system that guy even tell you almost every sun has another one with it a binary solar system that other star is the one closest to nibiru planet x aka worm wood ..the 12th planet knowledge is power and that is what they try to keep from us the truth

  • @totofac3 oh invisible magic sky daddy...

    We see brown dwarfs orbiting stars lightyears away. Gee, you'd think we'd be able to see one in our own solar system...

    Anyway, please don't elaborate on that planet X bullshit, noone is really interested in that, thanks.

  • @Keitaro333 well guess what you should be cause this comment just shows me how fucking stupid and brain dead you are lmao well just keep your comments to your self cause no one is interested in them reading your comments will just make people feel dumb

  • @DSAhmed ....ME TOO!!

  • @DSAhmed everyone hates it. YOUTUBE IS MAKING IT WORSE FOR THEIR VIEWERS

  • @DSAhmed NEW YOUTUBE GREY BAR RULES!! It's flexible and you can put queued vids or or see playlists from your subs. What happens is thta Ppl are not OPEN on innovations, same that happened when Galileo said Earth is not flat and no one believed him. Just be open to new things. Learn to use new tech gagdets, firmwares, add-ons etc. They here mostly to improve

  • @Neueregel Agreed BUT atm, the gray bar is not optimal. Atm, it sucks, but in the near future, we will all be thankful for it!

  • @fcdog555 I will NEVER be thankful for this annoying POS!

  • @DSAhmed There are video's on youtube that explains how to get rid of the Grey Bar and the annoying autoplay feature. It only took me about 4 minutes to do it.

  • @DSAhmed

    I complained about the "autoplay", and today I noticed that the "off" is now staying permanently "off" (before, you had to turn if off with each video). Also, the gray bar can be diminished.

  • @ayemaya75 where did you complain ? we search everything in this piece of shit of a website and found nothing...could you direct us please ?

  • @megaverse

    On the right side of the gray bar is a switch for "Autoplay" for "On" or "Off" . I switched mine to "off" and so far, it has remained that way. I complained on the YouTube User Feedback Survey. In "Help" type in Search "autoplay subscriptions". Then go to"How in the HELL do I turn autoplay off?" Then to the comment from "Cadwalladee" on 3-20-10. It has a link with survey.googleratings that will take you to the site where I complained. Good Luck.

  • @DSAhmed You can get rid of it by deleting everything in the address bar after "&"

  • @DSAhmed hahaha me too just notice that fuck'n'shit and there's no apparent way to remove it ...damn them.

  • grate

  • däääääääääääääm weiter so =)

  • fascinating

  • well, for instance, as i remember they simply didnt had enough processing power to handle the data pouring from the radio telescopes, one of the reasons of Seti and Boinc.

    Ps. when you think about looking at 1.3 million images ... its going to take a bit longer than a year to simply check out each image ... keep in mind that they are high resolution and you will be basically checking out all the dots :P

    and the time it would take to stitch them together ... even with a computer program .. lol

  • @MsWanderer1 Don't forget that they only show us what they want us to see...

  • @NAWRARESNAW Idd, they need to check all the images so they didn't take a picture of an alien spaceship by accident!... Or not.

  • @NAWRARESNAW 1:42 Is that 2 SUNS lol

  • @UkTruthSeeker2009 Yeah, like Luke Skywalker's home planet, Tatooine...

  • @julsHz Cool , Could it be there because our sun is on its way out You never know?

  • @UkTruthSeeker2009 Actually, ~ 57% of all star systems are binary- 2 stars, and some are tertiary- 3 stars. There are a couple of competing theories on planet formation- the accretion model, slow formation accumulating in the 'dusty disks' of stars, and 'quick collapse' similar to stars- this might be the way brown dwarfs are formed. Planet formation around binaries might support the

    'quick collapse' because, if they are close to each other, their mutual orbits would perturb the 'dusty disks'.

  • @julsHz Gees. This is like magic to me. Way over my head but absolutely fascinating!

  • @seamoremonster Haahaha! It's way over all our heads- get it? Over our heads- sky, up there- oh, forget it. Yup, this is the stuff I love- I like how my advisor puts it--- do what you love and you never have to work a day in your life. My plan.

    Cheers!

  • @julsHz You're having entirely too much Fun! I think it's wonderful! :-)

  • @UkTruthSeeker2009 Our star, the sun, will be around for another 4 1/2 billion yrs or so. Nothing to worry about...

  • @julsHz yes but in only 1 billion years it'll have grown too hot to sustain life on Earth! :O

    Of course by then we've developed some more technology and we can probably either stay here or stop the heating process. It'll be awesome. Too bad we won't be around to see it.

  • @handplanty You're right when you say it will have grown- but in size not in heat. On their way out, stars like our sun become red giants, which are actually cooler by some 1000's of degrees Kelvin, but grow in size because they're internal mechanisms are out of whack- no more H to burn. So the sun will swallow Mercury and Venus, and come very close to Earth. Cooler, but much, much closer- and frying the Earth that way. In a billion yrs, who knows what man will have evolved to...

  • @julsHz Some people call the sun a dying star, and say were in for massive solar activity which will take down the grids and we will have no electrics for months. Michio Kakou was one of the people who said it . Me I dont know what to think like the rest of us LOL as the world is turning into a sci fi film hehe

  • @UkTruthSeeker2009 Everything dies. But when talking in terms of stars, it's mostly billions of years- massive stars have a much shorter lifespan. The sun goes thru cycles of ~11 yrs when activity increases and decreases- increased activity via more sunspots- mans more coronal flares, more energy. This can disrupt grids, satellites, cell phones. The sun has been unusually quite, not the other way around. I like Kakou, but he often talks in 'what ifs' not 'what is'- take him with a grain of salt

  • @UkTruthSeeker2009 Yes xD

  • Muy interesante.

  • I'm also curious as to why the images won't be available to anyone for almost a year. I'm assuming it's extremely high res pictures of the sky and it might eat up a lot of disk space on their servers but, it doesn't justify that long of a wait.

    And, as far as I know, there's nothing to hide in the universe in general.

  • @FrederickCross My guess would be that the data in its raw format contains a lot of redundancy and noise, as well as topology or sequencing issues. Even if the process is highly automated, data cleaning can be a time consuming headache. And who knows, maybe WISE is bellow the orbit of some spy sat or some such.

  • WISE has taken 1.3 million images and it's going to take 9 months to give birth to them??? I can take images with my camera an get images in less than 9 minutes! Is WISE still using film that you need to send to KODAK?

  • @MsWanderer1 consider the resolution and size of the images, or filtration software working on them, etc. ... why not be digital :P, its sky after all

    also if you have a camera that holds 1.3 million images, and can transfer them in 9 minutes .. usb or what ever ... i would seriously think about the quality of those images :P [Took your comment a bit out of context .. to make a point :P sry]

  • @davelantor

    So you think they'll use up the whole roll of film before they process them? :-)

    The fact is that the scientist are getting at least 6 months of study of the images before they are released to the public; they don't want some amateur finding something in the images before they do or maybe the want to make sure there are no flying saucers in them! :-)

    We paid for the camera and we should get to see them within a reasonable time as they are rendered!

  • and why did this video come up for me? i clicked nothing at all.

  • @forashy616, my guess is that its because that by default the new YT bar has Autoplay 'On'. And that this awesome vid was next in one of your lists, such as the "Recommended for You" list.

  • An unmanned satellite? There are manned satellites? I thought those were called space stations. wtf ?

  • @derman077

    By definition, anything that orbits something is a satellite, so our moon is one, so are space stations.

  • @piip4 you can also use it to refer to islands near a larger landmass :]

  • @restlesspride666

    Oh wow really? I suppose it makes sense. I discovered you can pretty much use it to mean anything that follows or is "lesser" than something else, like a student\master, or paparazzi\celebrity.

  • @piip4 I don't know about that. Usually it means a smaller body near a larger one :] You could be right too though.

  • @restlesspride666

    Well it seems so on dictionary døt com "an attendant or follower of another person, often subservient or obsequious in manner"

  • @piip4 :] Well there you go.

  • Next MAY?!!! Scientists must be working hard theorizing before data is released to the average researcher. This is much longer than initial reports.

  • Comment removed

  • next may?

  • absolutely great post

  • i love this channel

    peace, lardo.

  • No Amy Mainzer? :(

  • very awesome

    good audio too finally

  • wow. they dont know how something happened and they dont make up false answers to prove it? thats an interesting concept. why not just say it was god?

  • @kiddhitta is that sarcasm? lol; if not - because that would be dumb.

  • @cbilljones yes it was sarcasm. and yes god is dumb

  • how should a hobby astronomer have a chance of finding anything worth finding, by competing with WISE

  • @kelin77 Well, because amateurs don't observe in the infrared. And it's still a big ass sky for observing in the visible!
