	tibisound (4 days ago) hi congratulations from Belgium do you have a last one from jan 2012
	DanQuinnPlayersClub (2 weeks ago) Your a legend Phil!
	trog69 (3 weeks ago) Obviously, Dr. Plait is the astronomy pro, not I. But, I did spend the night at a...um, Hilton.
	trog69 (3 weeks ago) Good morning, Dr. Plait. As an expert in astronomy, I'd like to know when we'll being seeing some less-chaotic night skies? I've grown quite tired of the mish-mash of stars, galaxies, nebulae, and so on that clutter my view, and frankly, clash horribly with my new desert landscape, particularly designed to enhance the moonlight over the surroundings and bring out the vivid black and white contrasts. I hope that you can understand how my aesthetics are being trashed every night with the background of such atrocious lack of...character, I guess. Thank you for your untiring work so far, but let's get a hat passed or whatever you science people do to fund such a mundane project to completion, please.
	tokiofujiyama (1 month ago) Wow! Spectacular channel :-)
	gutrielove9 (1 month ago) cool channel

	adrian5b (2 months ago) Hello Phil, I used to watch one of your videos that explained the density and functionality of a black hole you used a paper of science and a stress ball of science. Could you please upload that again or post a link to it? I find it fascinating.
	lokuzzz (2 months ago) hey phil, you once mentioned in one of your videos that you are not so good in talking in front of a camera, well i saw you on teldtalks and you did very well :) cheers
