Listening to Brian Cox speak always makes me smile! He brings so much enthusiasm, so much energy and so much passion to what hes describing! He loves his job so much and i love watching his programs! And what an awsome close-up of Saturns rings! Epic!

So lucky to have brian teaching at my university

wow thats cool

Brian reminds us of the true beauty of our lives.. the" remarkable" that we fail to see in our everyday existence. He makes me smile and glad to be alive. Thank you.. another BBC gem!

Brian Cox is great, Sagan would be proud!

brian cox is brilliant! i m really hooked on this show n he just makes it all the more better!

this must be the most beautiful tv program there ever was.

Brian cox what a legend !!!

I love this guy.

Its not just that the nature is incredibly complex, it is also reminding us every second the fundamental laws of life and universe. The more I understand it the more I find a continuous line existing between me breathing air to an explosion in a distant far far away universe. fascinating !

solar system is such a mystery...including the depths of our oceans too...

Brian Cox is incredible!! So enthusiastic!!!

Brian, you are great! :-)

Dr. Brian Cox is some kind of 11th-hour gift in a dark time. Humanity is in such an interesting place, and there is so much darkness and so much beauty. Bless Brian for being such a good teacher, such a good sport, and such a visionary. He could have sequestered himself away in academia, but he wants to be sure we all KNOW what we've got. Plus, people, those cheekbones...

i wish i talked like him...

“Death or Whiskey” great Tee shirt idea

Merci.

It's either Death or Whiskey, that's the type of scientist that sparked my love of science.

He clearly loves his profession. If you like this you should check out Carl Sagan's vids "Cosmos". He was the first scientist to really make the subject interesting to non-scientists. I hope Brian Cox keeps doing this.

pretty!

I did. Only 2 Episodes have aired so far. Keep looking ;)

I love the music at 01:06, really beautiful. Anyone know the name of the song?

WOW

The real world - beats a burning bush everytime

I wish the Earth had rings, i would never get tired of staring at them.

Nice... *o*

0:36 Fail we may, sail we must.

probably the most amazing programme which has ever been on tv....truly amazing......Look forward to episode no. 3 !! =]

I wonder if life exists on Saturn's rings, like microbial life exits on glaciers.

Por favor quisiera sugerir que a sus videos les incluyan traducción o subtítulos al español ,yo soy un gran admirador del profesor Brian Cox , lamentablemente como muchos no entiendo el inglés

I'm reading Bergrun's Ringmakers of Saturn and recommend it to everyone.. If you can't find a copy try searching for the PDF !

I think it would be something else going to Saturn. The distance it is from earth at it's closest is quite enormous though. That is part of the excitement for me.

Beautiful song... I search also but i don't find. Can you help us ? (sorry for my English)

Its stuff like this that makes me fail everything but science in school =) Also astronomy is my favorite science

so saturn's rings are made of real (water) ice..that;s news to me..

@Crossopterygii why, thank you :)

@Heartofadeadpoet Do you know when the next one will be coming on???

@junkers1337 The earth, as the only inner solar system planet has the moon, which is extremely large considering the planet it revolves around. It's wonderful...

Which is this place?

How does to feel

What i want to know is how did the ice get there to make the rings.

Profesor Brian Cox is the coolest guy on earth. I have nothing against Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but I would have loved to see Brian Cox in the remake of Cosmos instead; he explains things a lot closer to Carl Sagan.

My friend told me a story about a Japanese guy he once knew, who one day just decided to see if the story of about the ice was true. Once day he just bought a ticket from Tokyo to Iceland and travelled there in a t shirt and jean and went out to the wilderness with some wiskey and nothing else. When he eventually found an iced over lake, he realised he didn't have an ice pick so just had to lick the whiskey off the ice.

It is belived that a moon of Saturn wandered to close to the planet and was ripped appart by Saturn's gravity. Very similar to the way Jupiter broke up Shoemaker Levi 9 with the only difference being that the rings stayed into an orbit and the comet crashed into Jupiter.

@whitehawk38 If in future it gets easier to travel in space and be able to get to saturn really fast for everybody or companies, those rings are going to dissappear, im pretty sure of that...

I can't find none D:

@Heartofadeadpoet why is Brian Cox getting so famous??

@junkers1337 What kind of rings HMMMM?!?

why are these blocks of ice in the saturn rings are still moving and crash into each other? should't they have calmed down over the millions of years?

how much would 1 piece of ice from saturn cost in a liqour store :P 10 thousand?

@snewoeel I take whisky!

@13rosco I dont think so... Saturn has rings because its a big planet and with the gravity it has it attracts objects like comets, asteroids, or even moons, then they brake up due to Saturn's very strong gravity. And Saturn is a gas planet, so it never had water, no planet can turn from solid to gas, aaand IF Earth moved away from the sun, yes it would freeze, but water wouldnt escape, because it still has its own gravity...

This youtube channel is not available in your country? Ok then.. I'll go find a torrent.

@snewoeel my sister bf gave me a shot of whiskey when i was 11 he thought i wouldnt like it but i did and ever since theyve had to hide the jack daniels from me

gravity, i think

Ice from non-polluted waters? What about that big engine on your boat mate? I bet his whiskey tasted like unleaded.

I choose whiskey

@gillri i think its not gay

3 people aren't sitting on Saturn's rings.

@nasimwarwick Faith? God? I find it more humbling that a few blobs of simple elements have come together over unfathomable time to give us the incredibly complex life which we have. I understand your perception but some of us don't need God to be humbled or see beauty. Imagine your world without the need for creation, or a "creator" surely that is more incredible?

um god. lol

@joheels12 im off- topic gay?

Leave it to the human mind to find a need to justify our existence on this earth when really, deep inside, we all know there's no heaven. There's just infinite space and wonder. All we are is dust in the wind.

want to do away with the licence fee? Then this would have at least three ad breaks al la KZread, pushing all sorts of crap. Careful what you wish for or what the politicians tell you you want.

@paulkazjack I doubt that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are many people more intelligent than me that are not getting famous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly I'm wondering.. Where the heck did he come from??

U freaking kidding?

I find it appalling that people need to suck the beauty out of these phenomenons by screaming "GOD!". Being a realist, an atheist and not a complete moron, I know that these miracles of life are not some omnipotent being's creation. They're random. They're an accident. They just happened. And therein lies the beauty, at least for me. "God gave us life, hooray God" is a simplistic way of looking at life. I find it far more amazing that we're all here for no apparent reason.
