    I said this before but given this was the ending I will say it again. This CC got me SO INTERESTED in Astronomy. I only knew about astronomy from what I was taught back in school and I always thought "that was it", "we know everything that we will ever know about the sun, or the Solar System, or the galaxy" "we will never know what a black whole is" and such stuff. But as I got into this CC I realized how alive this science field is, THIS IS ACTUAL SCIENCE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, in my generation and it is quite amazing. We as humans now just discovered and proved Einstein's theory about gravitational waves that was predicted 100 years from now. I cannot put it into words, the fact that so many things are happening right now and we are getting to know so much MORE about our universe is simply amazing and just gets me so excited. Thank you Phill and everyone in charge of this CC and this channel for bringing this topic in and making it somewhat easier to understand. I had a blast, hope there is a BONUS episode some day or a CC Astronomy 2 with more updates soon. I will be waiting for it! Great job! Thanks!

    Thank you Phil Plate and all the people whom have worked on "Crash Course: Astronomy". The country I am from and living in, is not stable and going through a war. The bright side of it is that there is no electricity in the whole city. So when there is no warplanes striking at night, I go up to the roof and observe the sky and see the stars so clear, so calm, so beautiful it feels like I am floating or traveling through space. I love astronomy, but unfortunately my country is a dream killer. Thus, thank you for sharing this amazing dream even if it was for little while.

    I had avoided astronomy for years, I tend to look down while I walk, and close my eyes when I think. Then I saw images from the James Webb telescope and the question "If stars stars further away gave off their light thousands of years ago, are we looking into the past every time we look into the night sky" came into my head. The question confused and consumed me. Then I found this course and was hooked from the 2nd episode. I felt that my understanding of reality expanded, that a lot of other subjects I had learned before did not make full sense until astronomy. Thank you for opening my eyes to this field of science, for making it clear and simple to understand, and for making me stop and wonder at the night sky. Now I look up and feel a peace I have never grasped before, and I am grateful for however long I have to gaze with appreciation up at the universe.

    I always thought that if there were aliens out there, why would they follow the same rules of life as we do? For example, maybe they don't breath oxygen, or breathe at all, or maybe they don't drink water, etc. I mean, if life develops independently on another planet, who's to say it will develop parallel to the way ours did? Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong.

    +Aidan “Rocket” R. believe me, the chances of them being like us would be astronomical, it would be a miracle on itself, also they would not follow any rules (biology does not have rules in the classical sense). of course is impossible to imagine something which has never been seen, so yea. ALSO the reason life today is the way it is can be attributed to many rather random phenomena that caused extinction cycles, as well as a billion other little variables such as the other branches of selection (like artificial selection). so really, it would be impossible for us to simulate the progress of a primordial cell into our forms today. so yea, alien life is trully alien, think about an anemone per example, you are roughly 50% anemone, quimically speaking, an alien would be 0%.

    +4ever Moh Plants actually do need O2 to survive (they breathe and metabolize it as well, burning sugar and oxygen for energy). the difference is that they manufacture their own sugar and oxygen at the same time (with excess for us to use :) ).

  • @cortster12

    +Aidan “Rocket” R. Why? Because we evolved to use the most abundant elements in the universe. That isn't a coincidence. This means that the likelihood of life evolving using the materials we do is much more likely than not. Both oxygen and CO2 have oxygen or oxygen and carbon. Both very abundant in this universe. Same as water. Water uses hydrogen, the most abundant element, and oxygen. We are called carbon based lifeforms because carbon can bound to itself and other elements to make more molecules than any other, while still being very abundant. Water is a universal solvent, and is very abundant as well, and life uses it. It's just so very probable that life uses these as well. It would take a fluke even greater than us for it to happen with different elements.

    This is by far the most interesting course I've seen online. Astronomy was never my thing. Started the first episode just because I was bored. Seems like it got me addicted like other popular TV series, but even better than those. Phil is an awesome person. I like how he gets people's interest with talking. Explaining all the scientific and mathematical terms easily. Every school kids should watch this series. And every school science teachers should wear cool shirts like Phil. I'll explore the astronomy more in future. And from now on whenever I stare at the sky, it's not the same old sky anymore.
