I want to comment on the Narrator. His voice is top notch, you rarely found this kind of voice, perfect for the content. However, one thing though, I found hearing him gets tired easily. I can go 5min straight no problem, but after 10min, I start getting tired. I struggle to keep up, eventually I have to hit pause. Why? because there are a lot of new terms, concepts, contexts, they take a lot of time of learn, digest and get familiar with. He assumes we had previously learned that. To professionals in the field, it may be the case, but for everyone else, include Astronomers who are not in the field of study, its a challenge. I have a PhD, if I have to struggle to keep up, I think most people experience the same.
@@seanleith5312 you have a valid point. However, his videos are meant to give information and challenge our understanding. So much work and expertise have gone into them, and they deserve to be watched repeatedly. Besides, those terms and concepts are all well explained in other videos of this channel. When you have the time, watch them all and learn something. As Mr. Butler intended, these are video books.

David, your RU-vid videos are some of the best and most educational content on RU-vid in regards to astronomy. Thank you so much for all that you do- your work does not go unnoticed.
I love this channel, I have been passionate about Astronomy for years, but David Butler's love for astronomy surpasses mine by many orders of magnitude. This stuff is just beautiful to watch.
Dear Mr. Butler, on the Eve of the James Webb Telescope launch I keep thinking about how excited you must feel right now. I know this is something you have been looking forward to for many years and it's finally going to happen. I hope it all goes as planned so we can have another great review from you of all the new things it will find. Thank you and I look forward to your 2021 review!
I fell in love with this Superb Channel different of all the rest on RU-vid few years ago and yes, it's one of the best for ordinary but very curious people like me and some of us here 😷📐👍 And yes your not the only one who love to fell asleep with that kind of video.
Dear Mr. Butler, thank you so much for this video. I've been looking forward to it all year (as I did your previous videos). I look forward to any additional content you create in years to come. Thank you!
I watch you “how far away is it” playlist every night, usually fall asleep a few episodes in but it’s amazing how much cosmology info you pack in them. Supremely awesome content David. Thank You!
Easily one of the best channels on youtube. Thank you so much, Mr. Butler. It may be worth mentioning I work in Film and TV when I say that the production value of your videos is charmingly high. I can see the process in your videos, in between the excellent staging of the intros, the PERFECT mix on the music, the ADR (honestly, that was pretty darn good for an astronomer), i can go on. thank you again, this is great.
With David's extreme understanding of astronomy you would think be was an astronomer rather than just an enthusiast. He should have been one, imagine the amazing discoveries I'm more than sure he would have made. For now, bless you David for the work you put into these videos you're educating people on the untalked about part of astronomy. These are beautiful, amazing videos and thank you for making them. I hope you take solace knowing that what you make is beautiful. If you would allow me I would love to take your videos and post them the instagram for the millions of people there who haven't seen your videos yet. ❤️
Will add to the consensus that this channel , and David’s expertise puts university’s to shame for hoarding such incredible knowledge. Thank you David for putting together the science in an such well crafted presentations.
As a northern hemisphere observer, I'm happy to see that this presentation includes objects only observable to our comrades in the southern hemisphere - I feel they often get the short straw in astronomy related presentations.
These are hands down bar none, the BEST tutorial information on the leading edge discoveries with the best explanation of what we are seeing in the universe. Just spectacular and thanks for all your work in these series.
Mr. Butler, I’ve enjoyed your videos for many years. I’ve learned so much and enjoy your videos immensely! Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for making it a very pleasurable experience. You are one in a GOOGOLPLEX!!!!
David Butler's educational background is in physics and math, his career was in computer software and systems development, his interests span a wide range of subjects. He has become an wonderful educator with these professionally presented videos. Not only are they very entertaining, they really spark an interest and quest for knowledge about the world and universe around us. I'm certain these videos will inspire some young minds to go on to education and careers in one of the many fields of science. Well done Mr. Butler. Thank you.

Mr Butler makes great summaries for the rest of us about what's going on in the field of astronomy. He deserves to be on PBS with this stuff. I can hear some issues with the post-production, but they're forgivable because he's self-producing, and mainly because the content is so good. As always, his choice of BG music is exquisite. it's a pleasure to watch these videos.
Thank you Mr. Butler for providing all this wonderful information in such a detail yet exciting way. People like you are rare finds, just like those gems you point out to us in your wonderful channel. I look forward with anticipation to your upcoming content.
Perhaps previously mentioned but... You are virtually the BUTLER of information for astrophysics and astronomy. I appreciate all the sources and citations listed. It allows a viewer to invest in further research to gather more fine-grained detail. I also appreciate your use of imperial as well as metric measurements. Having been raised, educated, and using imperial measurements a majority of my life I have a vast inertia against absorbing metric measurements. Of all the RU-vid channels dealing with the subject of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology this one seems to be the most informative and the most comprehensive. I observed one little niggle- when talking about the blue and red nebulas you mentioned sunlight shining on the dust clouds. I have a thing about imprecise language which is rather difficult to avoid when talking about technical terms to the general public. I do believe a more accurate statement would have been starlight. Thank you for the time and effort invested in creating these videos. Of all the channels on RU-vid addressing these subjects I'm more inclined to invest in this channel monetarily despite being on a very low fixed income. Kudos! Very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your hard work. Your presentations are so enjoyable and wonderfully relaxing. I have listened to many of your videos over and over purely to get through some tough times this passed year. RU-vid is a richer place with your channel in it. Again, thank you so much.
This is a sweet, calming way to pass my lunch break. Your video format is simple, yet refreshing, with lovely and appropriate background music. Stay safe out there and take care!
Thank you Sir for your wonderful and invaluable work. I love your videos and I have watched them all. Thank you for everything I have learned from you.
Thank you sir for this amazing content. I’ve spent an hour every night for the past few weeks/months seeing every single one of your videos. They are absolutely fascinating, educational and relaxing all the once. You have reignited my lost love for astrophysics.
I'm 25 & I've been waiting damn near 10 years for the JW space telescope to launch.. I'm thrilled..I'm certain that the discoveries & stunning images will leave us rocked.. & forever changing how we see the night sky..🌎
Your work is exemplary and beautiful. It inspires a sense of profundity. I feel like I'm an intrepid explorer gazing in awe at our cosmos. Thank you, David!
Very interesting. Also, I loved the zooming thing you did. It really hammers home the scale of things. Also, also: Saturn's north pole is weird. It must be an alien space station.
Your explanations are more than exceptionally clear. The level of your lectures is way way above anything we come to expect from any classroom lecture. Thanks for your generosity. Hope your lessons spread speedily on the Internet...
I hope 2021 finds you in good health. Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Looking forward to James Webb's Launch. Stay safe, best regards from Austria
Thanks for the summary, it was excellent as always. And just to try and comprehend the size of other stars compared to our own is the most amazing thing.
