    at about 7:00 you start to talk about the type of telescopes you had a a kid, i was wondering if you could maybe show us the telescopes you have now?

  2. Gengar10000000000 says:

    They’re yes or no questions, you idiot.

  3. UneX100 says:

    Damn , you’re really friendly :)

  4. Germanboy567 says:

    and sedna

  5. andytom says:

    Yeah, and Makemake and Haumea.

    Although, if anyone even considers making Sedna a planet, he should be hung and dismembered. Just look at it’s crazy orbit.

    high school teachers are dumb

  7. kungfro says:

    And Sedna. And Charon! And Ceres. Ceres was considered a planet once, then it was discovered that it was the largest member of a belt of objects, called “asteroids.” Same EXACT thing happened to Pluto.

    If anyone still “thinks” Pluto is a planet, they HAVE to concede that Ceres is one too.

    And since Pluto and Charon both revolve around a common center of gravity, you can’t regard either as the true dominant body; they’d have to consider Charon a planet too.

    But… they’re not.

    It would be fun to throw water in the space

  10. andytom says:

    If Pluto would be a planet, then Eris would have to be one as well….

  11. rumidom says:

    he still there you know? just because is not a planet anymore does’t mean you should ignore him

  12. IrishEyesAreHungOver says:

    Pluto, may you rest in peace. It was nice knowing you.

  22. pandracchio says:

    You’re a great speaker. Wow. I didn’t study science, but I love it, and space is one of the most interesting things for me :)
    Thanks for all these infos!!!

  23. wiilixx says:

    Really really really really really really…

  24. StahnKage says:

    Every area of science can be exciting, like chemistry is absolutely amazing to me, but most people say “eww” well I tell them my program. It’s about relating it to the audience and you TheBadAstronomer can relate Astronomy well.

  25. RJL738 says:

    Scientists estimate that their are more than 400 billion stars in our galaxy and that their may be almost a trillion galaxies. The sun is a very average star ( small for a star and fine tuned for life, but average ).
