Putting The Size And Scale Of Our Solar System Into Perspective | Journey To The Stars | Spark

Ғылым және технология

Our planet is but a tiny speck in the ocean of our solar system. This cosmic space runs on proportions completely different to our own world, proportions that can be incredibly hard to comprehend. In this documentary, astronomer Sir Patrick Moore talks us through how how solar system works and puts this incredible scale into perspective.

    At the time, this was a top-notch documentary and makes you appreciate the grand views of space we now enjoy 30 years later and how far computers have advanced. Another thing that amazes me is that when I was little and watched the 1st man on Moon landing on a B&W TV in the 2nd grade and how the Appolo missions basically went there and back on a computer no more powerful than a Commador-64 and compare that to today's SpaceX launches that are going up every day and then returning back to Earth, it has been an amazing journey to watch.

    Imagining that Sir Patrick's hanging with his beloved cat, Ptolemy. The cosmos, their playground, and all of his questions answered at last. 🌍🌿🦋 🐈 🛸🌙✨️ Rest in paradise.

    Correction - If the Sun were just one inch away, the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, would be approximately 268 miles away.

    Oh look, an actual documentary which educated people, in depth and at a rate to which most can absorb. I love the comments like “this information is out of date”. As if, science doesn’t evolve. It would be like discounting reading Newton, and suggesting it’s “out of date”. Haha.

    OK, but science is doing a bit of teetering - at least leaning away from the strident side of materialism. Quantum fanny pinches are nigh.

    Stealing videos all around, if you say something politicaly wrong (against war) you get demonetized-but those "new" space channels making money of stolen reuploaded property-sad
