"We are a way for the universe to know itself" - That blew my mind. I feel a connection with the universe I've never felt before. Thank you so much.
-
Hmm, half an hour of Sagan or study for my finals exams to finish high school. I'm already here so I'm gonna go with it.
-
26:30 We later discovered that Titan's surface pressure is actually twice that of Earth. No need for pressure suits, but you will need to bundle up and haul an oxygen tank. ;)
-
@Mrufohead We can simulate it using what we know of our galaxy and from studying other galaxies of similar properties and structure.
-
@Mrufohead Wiki "milkyway" for an accurate picture of the galaxy under the subsection "Composition and structure" :)
-
@Mrufohead Actually I don't think that was an accurate model (since the Milky Way is a barred-spiral galaxy) but they can take detailed measurements of the stars within in the galaxy to see how far away they are and create a computer model that is very accurate (but yes a real picture would be impossible from inside the galaxy).

Hey Callum, I am loving the new videos (and appricieate the effort it takes to make such amazing interactive videos), but could you also keep making the other "normal" videos like you did before? Sometimes I like to just rewatch one video with a message I like.
-
@TheKturner05 I think his intent is to re-create Cosmos using new-age photos and graphics to make it more visually exciting and to bring the classic series into more modern times, to make it more timeless.
-
@Mrufohead nothing has gone that far, true, but light from there does comes here. we have seen how other galaxies look like, and there is the theory of relativity that predicts what should be out there
-
Here is my question.. How do they know what our galaxy looks like if nobody has been out that far? Also how can they even get a picture of it if nothing man made has been out that far?
34:22 minute long Carl Sagan video..... or studying for calculus exam?
Mr. Sagan of course! :D

@JeefCakes Neil deGrasse Tyson opened my mind just as much as the great Carl Sagan did. Amazing human beings.
