  • Cool clip! I wonder why NASA has never sent astronauts to the sun. I know the naysayers would say the spacecraft would be burned up by the sun's immense heat. But I have a solution to that: the craft could be sent at NIGHT!

  • WARNING: Turtles Crossing...

  • guys this is really cool, but its fake. none of this is mentioned in the bible.

  • @pyrosparkes who knows. Maybe the date in the text was a date when the planets don't align. Maybe Mercury and venus and the sun and the earth do not align...

  • Obviously they were all amazing, but number five was simply mind blowing!

  • how do they know it was a sun spots he saw, and not venus and mercury?

  • @mathfreak123 I'm not sure... A very dark-screened telescope? (Do those exist?)

  • Another well done vid--looks as if Galileo was beaten to the Sun Spot recording by a "few hundred years----at least!"

    SImply well done!

  • @scorpion779946 Sorry. I'll try to be a bit more specific about my question. How was he able to view the sunspots of the Sun in order to draw it?
