Welcome to Launch Pad Astronomy! I'm Christian Ready, your friendly neighborhood astronomer, and this channel is the place to geek out on the universe and understand how it works, all in plain english.
When I was 13 years old, I started working at the Sproul Observatory at Swarthmore College. I helped with observing, analysis, and monthly open houses. I was instantly hooked on sharing the universe with others. Other highlights include working on the Hubble Space Telescope and teaching astronomy at Towson University (I’m probably skipping a couple of decades here and there, but you get the idea).
I upload once per week, though my exact schedule varies with my teaching schedule every semester. But if you subscribe and hit the notification icon, you’ll always know when my latest videos are uploaded.
Otherwise, you can find us at www.launchpadworkshop.org/ and www.christianready.com/.
Planet 9 is a frightening planet, therefore it is very well known for many thousands of years in the history of mankind. We are walking in the dark as long as we ignore ancient texts, like the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, that tell us that our planet Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven natural disasters. Those disasters are causing a huge tidal wave, massive floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and a bombardment of fiery meteors every few thousand years. Several animal species become extinct and mankind hardly survives. Every earthlayer that is lying loosly on top of the previous one is the proof of one disaster.The only possible natural cause of this cycle can be a ninth planet in our solar system, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Thus the event is predictable but inescapable as the sunrise tomorrow. We have pictures of the approaching planet, ancient sources show us the orbit of planet 9 and its whereabouts. Just east of Pisces. And it looks like LL Pegasi, the spiraled cloud, also just east of Pisces. Coincidence? To learn much more about planet 9, the cycle of recurring floods, the recreation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". You can read it on every computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru
How LOUD was it? Also, how dense is the corona compared to the surface? Which means that the heat of the less dense corona is less than the surface even though the temperature is much higher. Just like boiling water at 100°C contains more heat than air at 500°C.
I have a question -- the earth is rotating and also revolving around sun; so isn't the coordinates of any celestial object on the celestial sphere (RA,DEC) going to change?
Enjoyed the video. Along with the cold temps and occasional flares, shouldn't gravity on 'Barnard b' (mass of at least three times that of the Earth) also be an issue for Earthlings? I'm already heavy enough here, lol.
In 120 years, humans have built the first airplane, gone to space, landed on the moon, and now we have this telescope, which is essentially a looking glass back in time to the origin of the universe.
The Sun is NOT "Nothing", James Webb Orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth. Not going to waste 14 minutes on a flashy title which is just SO SO Wrong. Look up Lagrange Points instead.
Taking a layman's guess before the explanation is given. I think it orbits L2 by being slowed down and then "slingshotted" forward in its solar orbit by Earth. That it, it is actually orbiting the sun but in a position so precise that Earth's gravitational effect causes it to _appear_ to orbit L2.
How do I track the ecliptic of the sun from the vernal equinox until the next vernal equinox-the days it takes the sun to track through each constellation beginning with the constellation after the vernal equinox?
I just want to say your content and expertise for all of you videos is brilliant and its a real shame you don't have more subscribers. Thank you for making these videos!
Maybe there's a reason related to UFO/UAPs that might explain why planet X can't be found.. They (the little bug eyed guys) don't want us to find it.. 🤔
Planet 9 is not recognized by astronomers because it is hidden in a large spiral cloud like LL Pegasi. Astronomers know nothing about ancient human history that tells us about a cycle of seven natural disasters that is caused by a celestial body. Every earth layer that is lying loose on top of the previous one is the proof of one disaster because when that planet crosses the ecliptic plane with a very high speed the gravitational force causes a huge tidal wave on our planet. That wave wipes out the existing civilization and some animal species go extinct. It leaves a thick layer of mud all over the planet that hardens and becomes the next earth layer. We have many pictures from that planet 9 that is approaching our planet Earth. We have pictures from its orbit and where we must look now, east of the constellation Pisces. That is also the spot where LL Pegasi can be found. Coincidence?

I think there is no natural way to keep a beam in the direction of our Galaxy (let alone the Solar System!) for 5 minutes at a distance of 2 billion ly. Even the telescope would need correction. It must have been one large body at highly relativistic speeds.
Can someone kindly explain how is it that the earth does not block the moon from being illuminated on the full moon phase? On the illustrations it appears that the moon should be in Earth's shadow during the full moon phase. Thanks for your help!
I'm back here a year later to wonder - have astronomers been able to see any 'proplyds' in the 30 Doradus? I'm assuming the answer is 'no', they're possible to see in the Orion nebula because that's relatively nearby, but 30 Doradus is too far away to resolve such small objects.
What are the chances they're the same size as the sun? No such thing as coincidence in the heavens. The earth is a stationary realm and the heavens is the ones moving, not earth. It's a perfect time piece of the creator.
