Exploring our Mind-Blowing Universe | BBC Earth Science 

What's your favourite universe explorer? 🚀

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

I'm ABSOLUTELY blown away by these images, the beauty makes me feel very emotional, I wish I had the brain of these scientists, sincerely, thank you.

thank you everyone on Earth who works hard. and special thanks to all the scientists ❤

Forget top gear, do more of this.

Damn how I love being awestruck, and this does it for me.

Love these regular, unbiased, and agenda free, intelligent uploads, this is how you gain a devoted fanbase

This is genuinely some of the best astronomical based content out there right now!

Space is truly mind blowing and to know that we’re just a tiny speck in an ocean of galaxies. Amazing work from the engineers that created an incredible telescope to look at and explore galaxies.

Man, I really wish Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawkins were still around to hear their comments/ thoughts on the JWST missions. 😢

The size of the universe and what’s in it is staggering to the imagination.

How have I never learned about the Parker Solar probe? That one is amazing.

Watching the enthusiasm of the scientists makes me emotional, they are so proud of what they are doing, and rightly so. Must be like a child's dream to discover these things that you have only dreamt of. I wish I could do that. Maybe I'll start a new career.

I like to imagine that one day, tens of thousands of years from now, some alien civilization will stumble upon one of the voyager probes and stare in awe and wonder how something so primitive ended up out there.

What an excellent sequence of documentaries on space exploration. Fantastic work done by legions of dedicated scientists. Bravo.

Thank you to all scientists that work and have worked with NASA, you're making humanity better.

astounding...magnificent...beautiful...mind boggling...admirable...these are the words that come to my mind about the telescope itself and the people who build it.

AMAZING documentary covering truely astounding scientists and engineers. Going to show this to my daughter and I can only hope it inspires her to work hard and be creative.

Thanks for another great video, look forward to many more!

very impressed with this video. I have always been interested in astronomy and physics. It was things like this that drove me to enter those professions. Thank you for feeding my insatiable curiosity about the universe and the wonders that we discove

We could be doing so much more, yet we just continue to fund wars…

I was born 31st August 65. Wot a time 2have grown up with such space programs! 2@ll space nerds. Lot's of Love & respect

SCIENCE ROCKS and the great thinkers minds in each scientist are AMAZING!!!

It's interesting to think that they got most of their science done in 72 hours, instead of 10 years. Just goes to show how we as a collective species can make great things and underestimate our capabilities.

Love this channel, when I am having challenges and stressing about life, i come here, to show how small I am, how i am a miniscule. I dont understand anything, but i know my lifes problem will not make the earth stop, nor universe wait, it will go on and on. And how are and unique we are to have life, because life is a strange phenomenal in this universe, we are special, we are rare, we may be the only life around, the only existence, the only life that knows about the universe. We may be the Alien that we are looking for, Earthlings are special

A beautifully produced documentary, wonderful imagery together with fascinating information. I have lived a fair percentage of my life in an analogue age, with only my later years embracing the digital. I watch these documentaries on a very large screen IMac, with it`s stunning resolution capabilities, and I am always in awe that I am able to appreciate and keep up with the science through this other marvel, called RU-vid :) RU-vid is, in all ways that matter, my conduit to fascinating science and many other quality documentaries from around the world - utterly brilliant !!!!!!

I was very happy to see the James Webb launch. I only hope I live long enough to enjoy the knowledge we gain from it. I also would love to see the next generation of telescope to be launched. I wish Carl Sagan would have lived to see this.

I was just out looking at the stars and using stellarium to help identify what I'm looking at. I still find it so amazing how everything anyone has ever seen in the night sky, is named and identified...well except for UFOs 😅 but seriously, amazing.

Wow this is amazing

Thanks for such deep scientific & informative videos!

this brought me a tears.

Just think what type of telescope will be invented and put up there next. Mind boggling! 😮

Great programme!

This was a great documentary. Yeah I like this channel.

Thank you for people who did hard work, and Hubble works again

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video. For me, Voyager twins take the winning prize given how old they are, how they are still operating even outside the heliosphere and sending data is just mind boggling. Thanks for the video team, again, i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it...

When is the pictures? Really amazing informative. Great work.

Yes we are seeing things like never before. And with newer equipment will see even more than ever before again. Our eyes can only see so much. So making sense of every new view will boggle our minds as it always has.

It always gets me how the scientists always act so surprised their stuff actually worked.

The JWST’s unveiling of the universe with its infrared capabilities is transforming our understanding of distant galaxies, black holes, and the atmospheres of exoplanets, highlighting the immense potential for future discoveries.

The fact that we launched a device into space realized something was wrong and went and fixed it is amazing

Absolutely fantastic documentary!

You see people more than you see Webb images.

Marvellous! Proud of you guys🚀

Love the content, great summary of recent space missions. But why did the narrator go into the BBC basement and find a microphone from 1952 to record this?

Happy spring equinox!

Everytime i look up you see stars , but that light is scattered around few times bigger than solar system , star itself is 1000 x smaller , If you shrink sun to size of golf ball , and nearest sun will be 700 miles away , its like 2 golf balls 1 in uk and another one in italy . Thers so much distance between each star ,crazy .

We need to discover the world 🌍 surface ,movement , galaxy ,gravity, force, in whole universe

Finding a Dyson Sphere would be insane. Don't know if that would be possible, but imagine the knowledge that there are other life forms out there. Together with the knowledge that they are millions of years away so form no direct threat. I think that would profoundly change our attitude towards space travel.

Fantastic ❤

Go! Go! Mankind go!!

Thank you, BBC, for showcasing the women and non-white scientists that have poured their hearts and souls into these missions. I never realized how bad the representation was until you guys started featuring people other than white-haired dudes in suits with western accents. And showing how passionate and excited they are about their field is inspiring. Thank you.

3:50 why would the distance affect the shift? I thought Doppler was based on speed. Is there an implicit relationship here, like bodies that are farther from us happen to be travelling more quickly, and the distance argument is a bit simpler to present?

When you think of frequency it is related to time. If you have a sheet of neutrons throughout then there would be no frequency. Because time cannot be created. So possible before big bang the universe was single dimension of neutrons. A rapid expansion of the neutrons gaps lead to what is called time. Then they formed 3 d to get all the subatomic particles and light. So energy was produced by these gaps we call light which doesn't have mass. As for light is concerned it is a time producer.

How does the JWT avoid getting smashed from rocks or meteorites hurtling about in space?

That is intense for parker probe team...

Very interesting and informative documentary. So far, it appears that the universe started as something tiny and started to expand to what we can observe and detect today. It also appears that anything we can observe or detect is made from extremely tiny particles which interact and combine with each other based on some fundamental predetermined rules. We have identified quit a few of these extremely tiny particles and have identified quit a few of the rules these particles follow to interact and combine. Perhaps most of the particles and most of the rules but there probably are more. We also discovered that anything that we can observe or detect is made from the same basic stuff and we call this stuff energy. We know this because we have figured out how to calculate a value or quantity of energy for anything that we can observe or detect. I think we can say the fabric of the universe is space time but we can also say that the fabric of the universe is energy time because we now know that space is not empty and is also some type of energy and we can calculate or at least estimate how much energy is in a given volume of space. It also appears that after the universe started to expand, no more energy was added or removed as it continued to expand. We do not know what the rules were that determined the amount of energy in the universe nor what caused the energy in the universe to start expanding. The rules for how energy expands, transforms, interacts and combines cause energy to cycle from concentrated to diluted states. Although the cycles can be repeated almost an infinite number of times, we think there will be a time when they stop because as the cycles keep repeating, the total amount of energy in the universe keeps becoming more and more diluted. We call this rule entropy. We also think that at some point in time, all the energy will become so diluted that it will not be able to cycle back into more concentrated states and we think this is when the universe ends. We still do not know the rules before the universe started to expand and we still do not know the rules after the universe ends and there are probably still many rules that we do not know about that causes the energy in the universe to cycle back and forth from concentrated to diluted states as it continues to expand.

thank you everyone on Earth who works hard. and special thanks to all the scientists

Can use this space for many more videos

I didn`t even know about Parker Solar. It s like another SF thing coming true

Not only this this footages of universe , using every footages or some from footages results .

I didn`t even know about Parker Solar. It s like another SF thing coming true 🤔

If there is any life in space, other worlds please show. I will be able to travel anywhere!

Would a super-long exposure of JWST end with an image of lines, as the movement of distant galaxies is "recorded" through prolonged exposure? Do the instruments even operate in such a manner?

How an organisation could land a craft on a small asteroid so far away does my head in. Excellent everything. 🇦🇺 😊

Wait, there's caffiene in space?

What happens when we look back and see our own planet in the distant past?

wow

Yes, something for my sleep to watch 😅

What movie of information's so great

so fresh 23min ago only😮🤯😊😊

The bbc is the dark energy

I love BBC

How do you calculate this to be a successful and what where the margin to error ratio? 🤯

برنامج رائع

Need video in 4k

I mean the pictures from web are good don't get me wrong, but from a layman's point of veiw they're not that much better. The way they talk of factors of a 1000 etc..not so. What am i missing?

The story about the Rosetta mission made shed a tear for that robot.

wow wHAT A EDUCATION !!

The advance civilization we see on sci-fi movies is just starting to develop. And it all will come from us.. as we progress, and in thousands or millions of years to pass the human kind will travel further than what we could possibly do now.. and there we will develop civilizations of various kinds some will enter into war among each other of interplanetary scale .

Thank you for these video !! The science is my passion!!

They could make a Hubble 2.0 and make it the size of Starship:)

let me know when you get there...

One question I have is, if a space ship or probe was as far away as the voyagers without external lights would they be in total darkness?

AS MUCH of a BIG step JWST was compared to Hubble... I TRULY hope the similarly designed but BIGGER 15m Luvoir IS BUILT AND LAUNCHED! 🤞 6.5 metre vs 15 metres? Farther, deeper, clearer, more detailed! 👍 😎🇬🇧

Should have built two. The 2nd would be launching about now. Webb is only supposed to last ten years as it is and the mirror has already been hit by grains of sand sized somethingorother

Get in betsy 💪🏽👍🏽

Sir, How much crore KM from one star to another star as per their size? Who can imagine the counting of the stars? Who can say the distance of a star from other stars from four direction of the star?

In the nebula, was the ejected material from the white or red star?

Isnt it crazy that an intelligent species (us) are still learning about the majesty of the Sun....

Using space background pictures frames from director

The man in the plaid shirt said oh s... That's what he said an that's all right👍👍👍when the right image come back from hubble 👍👍👍👍

10 minutes in and I feel like the title should have been "Exploring the Mind-Blowing James Webb Telescope". I am excited and proud that we built it, but sadly you cannot make a video about space these days without spending half the time swooning over that piece of gear.

video is more about telescopes than the universe

I just made a space exploration video and i feel so small compared to this 😢

Scale of the universe scared me

Wow this is amazing. It's also nice to see more women in this field!

can they zoom in on a Galaxy ? Take us inside some of those we have seen?

❤❤❤❤

How much better could they make the Hubble if it were designed today? :)
