Hank Green - 2026-04-09
GOOD STUFF Y'ALL All of the photos in this video were pulled from NASA Johnson's Flickr! https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/ NASA's AMAZING video on Earth Rise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHbFIieK-uo SciShow's video on Vavilov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqebCTOQyMM
"I wonder which of them was furthest"
Hey so fun fact, the crew mentioned during their call with the ISS that they all basically (jokingly) climbed over each other to get to the far wall precisely so that they could claim they individually went the furthest.
Lmao thats brilliant
I love people, we're so weird
@StormieR6 the funny part is at essential the exact same time the ISS crew were racing to the far side of the station so they could claim to be the furthest humans from Artemis
Love that! It highlights just how much they worked together, no ego's. They all got equal time for observations and experiences and they looked out for each other to make sure everyone was included in the big moments. Very cool!
I thought the same think as Hank and this info makes it even more fun!
lmao!!! I love smart space people, they're so fun
Hank briefly broke out the microcosmos voice for a space video. Everyone REMAIN CALM.
Actually, could we have a Hank-voiced, astronomy channel, the macrocosmos?
@cafohl7240 okay team, we’re cooking.
@Clockworkbiodo we partner with one telescope, many, do we just use video and pictures that already exist?
@cafohl7240yes yes yes yes...∞
You have no idea how excited I was when I read that community post, I knew it was gonna be this
That earthrise photo section is the most panicked I have ever heard astronauts. They REALLY wanted that nice photo!
They even sounded more panicked than the Apollo 13 astronauts did after the explosion
@flawwwedThat's funny cuz the same astronaut is present for both. Jim Lovell.
@flawwwed That's true, I'm guessing it's because they expect trouble as part of their mindset, whereas they don't expect unplanned opportunity slipping away from them.
Gerg?
@flawwwed Which is funny considering Jim Lovell is in the recording!
I think we've gotten so accustomed to seeing convincing sci-fi graphics for so many years that it's easy to gloss over the significance of these photos. Thanks for calling it out in such a poetic and inspiring way.
Monumental levels of copium.
Now actual data to train those sci-fi image generation! /s
"one of them was farthest."
I should say that when they were hitting the farthest point they all huddled on the far side capsule to try and get the farthest away. At the same time the astronauts on the ISS raced to the opposite side of the ISS to try and get the farthest away the Artemis astronauts to set their own record. Because they're all wonderfully human
It's such a human thing to want to make the few meters count among 350,000,000
Someone’s butt was the furthest away.
Wait, where was Rise?
@jvdos Your comment almost made me cry lol. Thank you!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
"This is it."
"This is what?"
"If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been."
😭😭😭😭
I'm so happy that I get this!
"Come on Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: 'It's a dangerous business…' [Bilbo's voice] '…Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.'"
Oh my goodness. This hit me.
This quote is ruined for me since now I just think about the meme where he just keeps doing this in a loop every step 😂
I would love a whole documentary with a Hank voice over
try the journey to the microcosms
I would watch a hank voiceover....
Hell, give me a channel. Replace the click-baity ones like Astrum with Hank and my life is yours.
IDK why, but it super hot me in the feels
@lame_lexem Such an exceptional channel! I have the book on display in my office, and the chillness and relaxation from those videos are so memorable!
This was like a half hour planetarium show and I deeply enjoyed it
This will be amazing when it is in planetariums.
"From a little submarine out there in an ocean of everything." Nice one Hank.
I didn’t even script this!! I just said that!
@hankschannelI love gold haha
@hankschannel of the DOME
@hankschannel You talk words good.
@hankschannelas a lifelong artist I can tell you that the moment we start to plan things out, we also start removing the wonder and beauty of whatever it is to be.
Planning is nice sometimes though, you couldn’t do or say anything to me that would make me climb on board the rocket that just brought us so much closer to our neighboring body if it was just thrown together from this and that, by a bunch of people who met a week ago!
"We aren't late NOW. We were early THEN." Perfect.
We got to another marble out there in the great big cosmos, using at times on the fly, manual adjustments, checked after the fact by pencil on paper math, and visual confirmation done by literally just looking out the window. Millions of miles away, at tens of thousands of miles per hour, flying by the steadiness of your hand and the gauge of your eye.
Truly insane that it worked out.
@thomaswalsh4552didn’t even work out everytime. On the backs of giants man…
THIS THIS THIS oh my god I can't BELIEVE we walked on the moon in the 60's. That shit is wild. Those men were absolutely prepared to die. And they didn't even have to deal with Outlook.
@kamackmacyou might get a kick out of William Safire’s “In Event of Moon Disaster”; a speech/announcement written up for Nixon in the event that the original moonwalkers were unable to leave the moon.
A wizard is never late nor early
When that photo of Christina looking back at the earth and her hair was floating wildly in a braid came down, I looked at it knowing that this would be in science textbooks and be remembered forever as the thing that inspired the next generation of astronauts who will eventually be in the same photograph of herself looking at Mars. Genuinely just an incredible photograph.
Don't. Make. Me. Cry.
I just know we're going to see that every International Women's Day and rightly so.
my favorite photo
@david65219 It’s on my laptop desktop. One of the Earthsets is on my second, larger screen.
All these photos were incredible but that one hit me more than any other. Just an absolutely stunning photograph... it's currently my desktop background.
I know that the internet demands things be fast-paced and engaging in a way that appeals to people whose brains have been addled by the algorithms, but I was motivated to state my (very) personal opinion that the slower, more chilled out pace of this particular video was extremely satisfying, and I'd be greatly pleased to get a bit more content in this format.
I would definitely second that. Hank-in-quiet-awe videos are a fantastic addition to what you post Hank!
"The little ball where everything is from" is such a sweet way to describe the Earth after watching this whole video. Made me tear up a bit
The ball is crying about how ball it is
It's right up there with the alien description of humanity at the end of Pantheon for me, "Self replicating low entropy phenomenon which generates a binding force called 'compassion'"
you are not the only one.
Really? I wouldn't advise you to watch any videos about how the Earth will become toxic to life in 800,000 yrs then. You'll breakdown and never recover. Humanity will have to leave Earth or suffer extinction.
@thomasdequincey5811 bold of you to assume we won't be long gone by then lol
19:30 it may also look like a videogame since there's no atmostpheric perspective, since y'know, there's no atmosphere. Atmospheric perspective turns things that are far away into a lighter, desaturated, generally bluer, tone (closer to the color of the sky). Here, even the farthest stuff are exactly the same hue and saturation
That's a really good point.
@VaebnKenh Although most modern videogames do also simulate atmospheric perspective as well, these days. But we notice the absence of that. It's a lot harder to tell the scale of things because there's so little atmospheric scattering. The moon is of course still quite large, but it almost looks like you can just put it in your hand because of that clarity of the entire landscape.
This is actually very interesting to someone who makes video games since we add all these effects, one by one. And seeing how real life can trigger the same responses as a render with only a directional light and some uniform base light, is kinda wild.
@t3hsilarn the Playstation 'fog'
@pretzelhunt Yes! It's a very convenient thing since you can limit the necessary rendering distance while also having that feeling of depth you get with atmospheric scattering.
Hank, I know this might seem obvious since your job is literally to be a science communicator. But you’re, like, really good at communicating science. I think you’re putting words to what a lot of us feel but can’t necessarily convey and it helps us to better appreciate and experience moments like this. Thank you.
Sure but he trusts only the official narrative and authority. UFOs/UAPs for him are all balloons and swamp gas for example.
@D@DCrypt1He has shown a great distrust for the current government; in fact, the current US government is trying to push UFOs to distract you from the horrors they're committing. In fact in fact, UFOs have been a government distraction method since they came on the scene. So, I think it depends on what you mean by "authority."
this was exceptionally well narrated
But did you notice, even though he didn't say it, that this entire video, was still images?
Hank is a knob and a sucker just like you
These photos make me ugly cry. It's almost as if I'm overwhelmed with relief that humans can still work together to witness and share the most beautiful things.
Who cooperated for this?
@SilverSergeant is that a real question?
Meanwhile the International Space Station has been there for decades thanks the cooperation of nations from across the globe.
But yeah it was a beautiful mission, no doubt about that. I just think it's important to give credit to the cooperation that's already been going on for a long time.
Quick correction: the sodium emission in the atmosphere comes from neutral sodium, not sodium ions. They need that valence electron or else they won’t emit/absorb visible light (hence why your table salt doesn’t glow orange).
Oh thank you, that makes sense. It's always crazy to learn about the trillions of tiny particles that the solar system bodies exchange, like exospheres and the interplanetary medium.
New channel: Journey to the Macrocosmos
Sodium chloride does indeed glow yellow-orange when applying enough heat or radiation. Electrons trapped within the crystalline lattice will emit wavelengths of precisely 589nm before returning to ground state after thermoluminescence.
Mine does... should i be worried?
I actually yelled at the video...'Dude, the sky isn't yellow/orange, it's blue.'
We're not late now, we were early then - I think these might be some of the most beautiful words I've ever heard anyone say.
And yet, both times, we get this science and humanity only really on the back of a paranoid geopolitical race. Imagine what we could achieve if we actually co-operated...
@MattNolanCustom Fear has a much stronger lever on our hearts than effort and cooperation, even though we're very good at those.
@MattNolanCustom it's frustrating how everything nasa does (or doesn't do) is the result of political maneuvering. Imagine where we'd be if we could just throw money at space.
@luciengilles5554unfortunately. I wish we tried cooperation a bit more.
@spookus5430it would be far better if the government gave the money to NASA to do this, instead of putting the money into wars. There was a Doctor Who episode where Peter Capaldi’s doctor talks about war and how at the end of the day they all end up sitting down and talking it out. It’s true, too bad we dont start there and only move to war in the absolute last resort. Seems we are too quick to go to it first.
New favorite Hank quote just dropped
"Pictures are often worth a thousand words, but sometimes they are worth considerably more than that." - Hank Green
I took a photo of 1000 words, that picture was worth itself
“Just a little submarine out in the ocean of everything, and then through that window taking up much less space, the little ball where everything is from.”
okay so maybe I cried a little bit…
It’s so poetic how Hank redefines the word “everything” to first make us small and then immediately again to make us anything but small. The photographs, the music, his voice, and waiting until the end of the video to make this statement just really comes together to make you feel it.
One thing I have loved about this mission is that so many people got to be so present for it. I’m a college student finishing up my last round of midterms and the astronauts and Mission Control have been keeping me company while I’ve been studying. It is so charming hearing them speak to each other and checking in on what are RELATIVELY mundane things (the toilet clog, the outlook issue). And then I feel my adrenaline rise every time they mention something so grand, so inconceivable to my earthbound mind. Wiseman naming a crater after his late wife, their live descriptions of what they’re seeing, hearing Victor pray before they lost communication as they went around the dark side, hearing them come back.
It’s brought me to tears multiple times and I’m so grateful technological advancement has brought us to a place where we have an opportunity to keep up with them second by second. I’ll never forget this time in my life and in humanity. What a ride.
I love this comment 😭❤️
That is beautiful. The launch absolutely brought me to tears. It is SUCH a collaborative effort.
This!! Exactly this!!!
You are so right. I wish people would make bold, brave and bright people like astronauts famous again instead of all these TikTokers and Kardashians....
Any time I’m about to board on a flight I always do a prayer and finding out that Victor did the same thing before they lost communication lets me know that this guy was absolutely terrified of what might happen but to overcome that and do it anyways is just so inspiring to see and something that I am going to use to reflect on when I go through my own challenges. I could never imagine doing what this crew had pulled off and it just goes to show how far we’ve truly come when it comes to human advancement. I’m proud to be a human❤️
The loudest thing on the planet is actually my neighbors honda civic at 4:30am
😂😂😂😂
Don’t forget their friends with their civics come over on the weekend.
yeah ever since these guys moved in on our moonstreet its always these loud space ships and their VTEC
Maybe it can compete with my neighbors Harley at 2 AM 😂
You forgot the music blasting
"Somehow, I always forget I'm going to feel it."
I felt that.
This week has been really confusing. What a profound whiplash of witnessing our greatest scientific triumphs alongside our most primitive cruelties.
@aawillmayou think the Iran war is our most primitive cruelty? The joy of being such a sheltered mind.
@aone9050they're talking about war In general, genius.
he said that as i was wiping away a tear. idk, something must be in my eye
SO grateful we can still feel it and still be suprised by the feeling.
This will go down as probably my most favorite video ever seen on YouTube. For so many different reasons. I obviously love the Green boys as an educator, but this. Great job, Hank. You really brought an incredible moment in our history that we are privileged to witness and made it something that even those with the least amount of education, understanding of the universe, and appreciation for the small things watch in awe. So thank you. Just thank you.
Person with ADHD, raising a person with ADHD: Please experiment more with this thoughtful, deliberate editing pace. This feels much healthier than the literally breathless style that removes every pause.
Seconded!
That's because most short form content is done like this, as short form vontent grts the most views... Doomscrolling really hurts normal, followable speech patterns in editing. lol
@slipspacesurvivalist9416Hurts people’s attention span too
@jcdenton4534
Exactly. Even studies behind it stating such, as well as its impact on language comprehension.
I loved this video too.
So many awesome photos with a fabulous commentary.
Just brilliant.
And the fact that Lovell did have to scramble for specifically color film, compared to today where the astronauts are just using consumer grade cameras to get even better shots. The level of technology progression is shown so well by the photographs.
I kept thinking about this throughout the video. Photos of my husband from the 90s are grainy, weird contrast, and sometimes hard to make out facial features. And yet, we had men on the moon DECADES before those photos were taken.
The fact that we have more tech and information availabile in our handheld phones now than what they used to go to the moon is absolutely insane. A go--pro? Damn.
@Sparkles_and_Tiarasno he is just weird
@Wildman-zh8lg who?
@OneDoodlingBugread the person's text
The Nikon D5 is a professional, not consumer, grade camera. At launch, the D5 would have cost over $8,850 in 2026 USD. And that is for the camera body alone — no lens was included.
As a hobbyist nature photographer I just can't stop thinking about how these cameras were not made to photograph anything outside of our planet, it amazes me in the best way possible
amaze amaze amaze!
Omg you people actually believe these are real? Humans can’t travel into space 😂
@ifbfmto9338everyone else who sees this comment thread, please ignore this very blatant and obvious troll
When talking about the photo of earth being upside down, he forgot to mention the north pole of a magnet will always point south so when your compass says north, it should be saying south (thank you, Prof Neil deGrasse Tyson)
@ifbfmto9338 and your smart phone runs on magic
"A good opportunity too look to our future of where we are going" OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD PLEASE INJECT ALL THESE INSANE QUOTES DIRECTLY TO MY VEINS
cringe
LITERALLLYYY
For anyone looking for more details on the crater mentioned at 14:52 -
It's spelled "Vavilov", named after "Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov". The scishow video about it is (currently) titled "Joseph Stalin Was Very Wrong About Agriculture".
Hopefully this helps someone. This was rather difficult for me to find just based on hearing Hank pronounce its name, especially with the subtitles saying "crater of aval" instead of "crater vavilov".
Thank you!!
Very helpful! I was struggling to find it too!
Thanks! I could have sworn he was saying Avilov and it was driving me nuts
Oh, my Google search query kind of Auto-corrected the name and showed the correct name. Maybe because I use another language than English?
All praise the paragraph person
"For 8 1/2 minutes, it is the loudest thing on our planet" is something I wasn't prepared for
Clearly hasn't met my upstairs neighbours
Nobody was erupting. Which is good.
@pieterbrits4899clearly haven't been within 10 miles of the ongoing explosive force equal to 4 million pounds of tnt that they stuff in these rockets
I had to go back and re-hear that to make sure I agreed.
i was so shocked to hear it 179 miles away next to the georgia border. genuinely one of the most surreal things ive ever seen in my life
What a great mission. Seeing the entire Earth at once is the closest thing to a holy experience I'll get. My favorite quote so far is : "It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it ‘Carroll."
When I found out that it wasn't even Commander Wiseman's idea to name it that -- that the rest of the crew asked him if they could -- I teared up. Four absolutely wonderful humans are headed home now 💗
@KBRoller Just saw that video too. And that the specific spelling of her name out loud is what got to Commander Reid.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Glad they didn’t pick ‘Karen’
my favorite is "we love you, from the moon"
11:25 One day I’d love to see a photo where the moon and earth are beside each other, and exactly the same size
Idk how anyone couldn’t look at these photos and not fall into a weird emotional state of calmness, happiness, somber, and dread.
All at once.
It’s our world, our life, our everything. But it’s also just one thing. All of our eggs are in one basket and it’s the only place we can call home
No dread here, just everything else you listed. We're children of the cosmos getting to see our own spaceship from a view that we weren't really meant to see. It's amazing. <3
Breaks my heart every time an uneducated misfit that claims all we know is a lie.. they were the kids in school that never payed attention and cause class abruptions
Awe
By not thinking that last paragraph.
I'm aware I'm on earth along with everyone else. But when I see photos of it from space, it's just a planet to me. A marvelous, cool planet. But just a planet that belongs in space. My point of reference is totally different.
i think the name for the "weird emotional state" is called the sublime. it's one of my favorite words, look into it a little and see if it's accurate.
I don't know why but "Calm down , Lovell!" at 2:46 made me laugh so hard.
Such a human moment for people larger than life
I smiled so hard listening!! They are so excited and NEEEEEED to capture this moment as much as they could
I also snorted my coffee out at how he said that! 😂😂
It made me laugh cry. Something so human about it.
I mean, this is Capt Jim Lovell, too, of Apollo 13 in addition to Apollo 8. So great!
My favorite photo might just be the one where the four astronauts are hugging each other, I absolutely love how far humans have come
I’m trying to imagine Jim, Frank, and Bill (Apollo 8) hugging like that, and… I don’t think so. 🙂
The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts had “the right stuff” for their missions, to be sure. But Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have the stuff we need now.
@toddverbeek5113 ?
Yeah, I think me too
@Earth-To-EntroI think he's saying the past missions had less of a community between the astronauts compared to Artemis
@toddverbeek5113 Hope. Hope, and the Joy of Living. To be a student in the awe of it all.
Man, that photo where you can see the auroras at the poles just about brought me to tears. That is an absolutely wild sight. I don't know if any of these quite surpass Pale Blue Dot as my favorite photo, but they're pretty top tier.
“It’s not that we’re late now. It’s that we were early then.”
One of the best things I’ve ever heard Hank say. And that’s saying a lot.
10:16 Then you remember the oceans are shallower than the sky is tall, and that all the life on earth lives in a thin slice 12 miles thick.
Another cool perspective to add is the volume we inhabit.
So, the oceans make up 2/3 of the area, but over 99% of the inhabited volume. 😮
Still, 85% of biomass is on land, so life is quite thin asea.
Although, 3/4 of animal biomass is nonterrestrial, so there's that. And that's not even counting the extraterrestrials. 😅
Thank you to remind us this
And on land, almost all life lives in a slice just some 30 meters thick!
Next time you're in a forest, look up to the top of the trees, and realize that the vast majority of life takes place between that point and the ground that you're standing on.
@rbtharper Birds exist, if you count the atmosphere up to the height they fly I don't think that's true
Floating bacteria too
@__nog642Yeah, true enough... Plus the deep biome. It's oversimplified, but I like how it emphasizes how concentrated "terrestrial" life is.
Man, the deep biome is mind blowing!
"Just a submarine, out in the ocean of everything" wow Hank, what a line
There are more spaceships in the ocean than submarines in the sky.
Over 400 people and counting agreed that corny line was profound. It wasn’t, get a grip people.
@MrManatee101 Bro cant handle people liking things 😢
@MrManatee101 it's not that it's profound, it's that it's evocative you numpty. It's something that brings to mind a lot of images and emotions, it makes people feel small but somehow significant anyway, or at least that's how it makes me feel. It doesn't require any particular insight or wisdom to have said it, it just makes us feel something that is positive to us.
So sorry you appear to be incapable of joy and wonder, tho, that sounds like a depressing way to live.
As a classroom teacher, this will be part of every lesson plan moving forward in my teaching career!
Exaggerate much?
@SilverSergeant😂 and every future one too!
Make sure your students know there's a factual error in the very first sentence of the video. The SLS stack is not the most powerful rocket ever flown.
Somehow the ones that include part of the ship just feel so much more real to me. Like, I look at that, and I know without even having to think about it that a human was holding the camera as it took that photograph. The framing is too imperfect to be planned, like a picture taken through a car window cruising down the highway, and it's beautiful. It feels so much more human than some phenomenally lined up picture of the earth behind the moon (which by the way is still very majestic).
I agree with this
For me it's the juxtaposition you get. Something made by humans existing away from every single human alive except those 4.
It really drives home the journey they're taking. It's not just pictures of things. (as incredible as those things are) It's a memory captured.
Hank's voice and the ambient music. This is the perfect sleep video.
No Fran Lab but pretty good
Journey to the Microcosmos - youtube channel was ambient music and Hank Green for hours and hours. Go check it out!
Does anyone know what the music is called?
@one_edgy_son_of_a_bi- you can look up “ambient music mix” and it’ll be pretty similar.
or you can also check out Aphex Twin’s album “Selected Ambient Works Volume II” the whole album has a similar vibe
edit: especially tracks #3, #7 and #19
MORE!! 😤
"humans have not evolved to see what we're seeing" absolute poetry
Yet!
To think, we are here, alive on this planet, at this time to witness the remarkable. Of all the humans that have ever been on Earth, we get to see.
Actually we did evolve to see poetry in these things. We have a language faculty. 😂❤ Plus there’s a book says your eye is a cosmic symbol put there on purpose for us. So it’s legit: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind”. 🙌✊🏻
@spiralsun1I think both of you are right.
@fluttersome this was nice to read, thank you 🙏🏻 ❤ when I was in graduate school I noticed that a lot of what we do as humans is adapted from earlier patterns. I think Freud was right about symbolism, but not the specific way he said it 😂 For example, I saw the progression of science as extremely similar to a hunter tracking and understanding game; but also a traveling gatherer. Both at once. But in thought. ❤
I haven't felt such awe ever since seeing "TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time" by melodysheep. The only palpable difference is that while that video made me feel awe mixed with an existential angst, this one made me feel awe and hope. What a time to be alive. Thank you for the beautiful narration full of warmth and curiosity and also thank you for the facts you've gathered for our eyes and ears to transport into our brains and hearts - I am humbled to share this blue dot with you.
As an astrophysics major who has a passion for photography and a soft spot for humanity, this video made me cry. Like actual tears. This whole Artemis II mission has reignited my drive to get to a place where my work helps us understand our universe a little bit more.
I am glad I am not the only one with tears.... a mix of hopeful, humbled and inspired.
I had the same realization. I’m just a humble math teacher but I realized if I don’t help these kids master mathematics, we won’t have the future astronauts, engineers, astrophysicists, etc. to progress us to the next phase. Humanity depends on this.
@kimmccarrick8231 -- This is a beautiful presentation. And I can't wait to see your contributions to our understanding. And hey, live long. Prosper.
We are the first humans ever to see the Earth and moon in such brilliance. How blessed we are to be alive right now in this moment.
Something about space just makes me feel so human. My brain can't handle it, so I am weeping
Another point with regards to the eclipse photo that Astronaut Victor Glover mentioned in that same voice transmission was that the camera just couldn't capture what their eyes were seeing, and specifically mentioned struggling to get the exposure to a point where it would represent what they saw, which in the end they could not do. He talked about how the moon was being lit far more by earth shine then the camera could represent and also the stars were farrr more bright than what the camera was seeing. He has a brilliant description as the voice transmission kept going; he was totally in awe and thats also when he mentioned what they were seeing was straight from science fiction, and how our eyes just never evolved to see that kind of stuff. This whole moon mission has been so brilliant.
Absolutely astonishing that I can look at one of the coolest photos ever to exist and be told that it was so much better in person.
Indeed. It's a shame that so much attention has been bled away by the chaos in the world. My mind is blown.
Would love to see what kinds of photos you could get of the stars on the dark side of the moon these days with a tripod ... maybe a future mission!
I was listening to him describe it live - I cried. An amazing moment I will never forget.
They need to figure out a way to get an artist up there and art supplies that are safe to use in spacecraft. That would be some amazing work!
"Calm down, Lovell" hit me hard. Astronauts are just nerds nerding out at the end of the day and that makes me happy. 💜
Wasn’t it interesting to notice how different they talked back then? The same, but different… it’s not, thee and thou different, but there’s a different pentameter fr sure.
@triciamyles7258 I didn't, but I'm not good with these things. Care to point some details out?
also, this channel must have really dumb ppl. my family IMMEDIATELY knew that the moon was lit up by the earth. 🤣🔥💯 i guess this channel needs to do more science related content and educate their audience. hopefully this video is a step in the right direction. 🤣🔥💯
@I_author_articles what are you even talking about?
That hit me hard. Capt. Lovell is my hero. Even at that moment, such a humble fellow. Hope you got a front row seat up there, sir. 😇🫡
I remember... I was just 7 years old. It was unforgettable. The Apollo 8 images of earth rise deserved commemoration with the postage stamp.
This video was so unexpectedly comforting that I almost cried. Thank you for that, Hank.
Yeah, I "almost" cried too.
Stuff has been heavy I chose this because Hank is comforting even when he rants 😂
We were definitely certainly remaining so cool and relaxed
I cried when American bombs fell on a girls school. I know how you feel.
@theders249 it's just dusty in here that's all
@hankschannel - 2026-04-09
Corrections!!
1. The sodium that glows in the sodium line is atomic sodium, not ions!
2. Miami to Tallahassee is 400 MILES. Miami to Orlando is 400 km.
3. In answer to my first question, the glow behind the “Hello, World” image is indeed zodiacal light.
4. Zodiacal light is lit up dust. Gas isn’t part of what’s being lit up.
5. The other thing that makes moon photography looks kinda fake is that there is no atmospheric diffusion. Everything is the same level of clarity no matter how far away it is.
6. SpaceX's starship is more powerful than SLS. So this was the most powerful non-test rocket ever flown.
@opensourcecode - 2026-04-09
Thanks👍
@rebeccan7276 - 2026-04-09
in other photos that distant elliptical dot looks almost like a galaxy? or the rings of Saturn, would it be visible?
EDIT: I think it is the one they mention is Mars actually!
@maximilianmorse9697 - 2026-04-09
I've noticed you mention the Late Heavy Bombardment in a couple recent videos, hasn't there been some evidence contradicting its existence?
