  • Why is this video country restricted?

  • how come on these documentaries videos...people are lookin as if theyre talking to somebody...why dont they look straight at the cameras????

  • @soURfunnyYOUthink they're probably talking to interviewers asking them the questions they're answering

  • its the birth of the disco star and planet

  • I'm in love with everything relating to the obsidian sea. I subscribe to magazines about it, watch every show/movie/documentary pertaining to it I can find, I read books about it, I own a telescope, and I just feel so at ease when I can look up and see all those tiny little lights that are in reality, larger than life.

  • Isnt astronomy just awesome?! Quasars are another facinating thing in space. They occur from black holes! :o

  • I thought that when a red giant explodes in a super nova, it transforms into a white dwarf;  similar to our sun's future...

  • Basically your sun would be blinking on and off in the sky. It would be really mind-blowing!

  • Breath Taking & So Amazing!

  • I am such a lover for science yeah plusars are awesome like nebulas

  • rave party at a pulsar planet yell yea

  • Anyone see the episode of sliders where a pulsar was going to hit the Earth?

  • my favorite planet..is the carbon planet...where the clouds are black they sky is yellow..lakes and ocens of methane and gasoline...rains butane...how awesome?

  • I don't find pulsar planets to be that surprising. In order for a supernova to occur that core had to of had at least 1.5 solar masses....why wouldn't it be able to get material gravitating around it, like the clumps that become stars in HI Regions?

  • The first planets found in the early 90's were found orbiting a pulsar, they predate 51 Pegasib.

  • I've been browsing around, listening to different pulsar beats and I'd have to say I agree, it would be awesome to have dance clubs go to this music. All you really need to dance is a steady beat like that.

    (I think I'd combine the Vela pulsar and the Crab pulsar, and then have one of the one-rotation-per-second pulsars in the background. It would be awesome!)

  • Nat Geo is the best!!

  • Cool video! And pulsars are fascinating things.

  • an epileptic would have a lot of fun on one of these planets.

  • awesome graphics

  • I saw this episode yesterday, pretty interesting

  • where did u see it at? cam u give me a link? unless u mean on tv then nvm haha

  • ya tv sorry

  • It's amazing the many, many mysteries in the universe....I wouldn't be surprised if life could be created on a planet orbiting a pulsar....You just never know....

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge In the realm of scientific study, the possibility is very unlikely, just simply due to the spectactular amount of electromagnetic radiation pulsars put out.

    However.. if you research something called "PSR B1257+12", you'll see that a pulsar with extrasolar orbital planets has been discovered. Harboring four of them, in fact! Perhaps you might be the one to discover that there may be life there? =D

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge Life on planet orbiting a pulsar=Rave 24/7.

  • These copyright restrictions are iditoic, live in Australia and have been big fan of National Geographic until now. Let us know when this gets removed, useless for now for most of the world.

  • ^ read my reply to poweressen. hope that helps.

    bye.

  • thanks to copyright restriction not available becose i live in canada, cool, Def Unsubscribe

  • Those "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions." piss me off as well.

    But if you go to hidemyass(dot)com and just paste the youtube url and you'll be able to view the video.

    I usually just save the proxy string as a search string on my toolbar in my browser(opera) so I don't have to visit that site every time to use it.

    so yeah.. anyways good luck.

  • there are programs as well that will hide your IP so you dont have to do it for every video. i used to put it on a flashdrive and install it on school computers, been a while so you'll have to google a free one

  • The observed periods of their pulses range from 1.4 milliseconds to 8.5 seconds.

  • whoa that's pretty tight

  • i took astronomy and they didnt tell us about pulsar planets , and now i know .

    thanks youtube .

  • Don't thank youtube.

    Thank National Geographic

  • Wow. This one was a real mind-opener!

  • dam thing gave me a headace

  • That would be such a cool planet to live on. Get kind of annoying after a while though.

  • Second
