Only Shooting Stars 

"Younger Than Dinossaurs" would be a good band name

It feels like I watched Thoughts From Places: The Sky

Hank, I thought John is the one who is supposed to do quiet existential videos and you are chaotic existential. I mean both make me question my place in the universe, but in different ways.

Honestly the Smash Mouth lyric titles have created more consistency in my life than anything else at this moment.

This Allstar title thing is a beautifully foolish endeavor.

Aaaaaargh! That 'John!' at the end came pretty unexpectantly after getting all soothed by ASMR Hank

Ooh. Someone’s gotta do Break the Mold. I feel like that ones got a lot of potential.

I godblessin love these videos. When hank and john create thoughtful, beautiful videos about appreciating things in abstract beauty and analyze life alongside the subject, I lose my mind

I'm excited for "taking the backstreets" and "they say it gets colder." I assume these will be john videos hahaha

This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. I study astronomy, and I just submitted my first “first-author” paper about exactly this subject :) studying what the smallest meteors are made of by looking at the “glow” that they make in the atmosphere.

This is one of the few channels where I instantly click the notification. DFTBA y'all.

Hank your excitement and enthusiasm is always so contagious! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to read the new book!

Its kind of nice that we spend all that time staring at tiny bits of space barely the size of a grain of sand and that we dream and hope and wish at the sight of them.

My friends and I used to go out of our neighborhood to the top of a hill to escape the light pollution of our cul de sac. We got to watch at least a few shows like this one every time. It amazes me just as much now what a wondrous universe we share!

Possibly one of my favorite videos! My thoughts get lost when I gaze into space, and in return some of my best ideas and imaginings are born. Thank you Hank!

I can hear the fatherhood in his voice and my heart is warmed. I've heard that transition before with my brother. He has a son now and sometimes I can hear the dadness in there.

This reminded me of John’s video Civil Twilight from a while ago. I think I just like when you two talk about the sky.

“Whee! I’ve finally escaped Earth! Wait, what’s going on?” - that rock Apollo 14 brought back

Hank, thanks for some calm and brightness. I never thought your videos could be so soothing and interesting, thanks for everything

Loving how somebody's making recordings of the sky just for it's own sake, and we're lucky enough to live in a time where everyone can watch them.

this channel is the best thing ever. You guys are absolutely awesome

I dont know why but Hank's voice in this video makes me want to cry and i cant even describe why I'm feeling that way

I’m concerned about what will happen when All Star lyrics are all used up

I mean, technically the entire moon is just a rock from the earth that was flung into space by a collision (as far as we know), so all samples from the moon are just Earth rocks returning. But I assume you mean this particular rock got to the moon from Earth well after the moon itself got out there.

This is one of the most soothing things I’ve ever watched/listened to

I love that at 1:44 Hank actually adopts the rhythm of the words "shooting stars" as sung in smash mouths Allstar, this happens to me so much

i listened to this while sitting in a hammock at night while looking up at the stars in rural new mexico and it made me really happy :)

I see it's time for another installment of "Hank talks about space in a soothing voice". Love it

Not sure why this made me cry, yet here I am. Thank you, Hank

Hank is in Journey to the Microcosmos narration mode today. Thanks Hank! An enjoyable and soothing video.

everything is so soothing..... "JOHN, MY AUTHOR COPIES ARE INNNN"

i feel like this is the video (or at least type of video) that i could watch (or listen to if i decide to close my eyes) right before i go to sleep. the voiceover paired with the night sky makes me want to climb into bed and put this on loop, well except for the end bit as that would wake me up again and make me want to by your book (!! I'm almost done with the first one and i love it!!). so thanks :))

I have been binging volgbrothers ever since the start of quarantine and dang it really just satisfies my curiosity itch that school used to

Thank you for that bit of cosmic perspective

This was beautiful and poetic. Thank you.

I didn't know the shooting stars we see aren't that big. They're just little glowing chunks of rock. Thanks for the calm in today's video Hank.

The best thing about being on furlough has been getting to watch these videos right after they're uploaded

Thanks for a gentle, contemplative video, Hank. Those are adjectives we could all use a little more of these days.

This was super calming, which I kindof needed. Thanks!

I cried the day my science teacher brought shooting stars to class. By that I mean, I cried later that night in my bed when I was alone. This teacher had promised to bring us asteroids. The class just shrugged it off because we assumed it was impossible. What the Teacher brought back was a glass dish with tiny little rocks in it. This was a long time ago, I was in high school, so I don't know how true this might be. She told us that she had left a large dish out on her roof for weeks. And then carefully combed through each little piece of dust on her plate using a microscope. She only kept the ones that had literally fallen from the sky. According to her, theese tiny little pieces of space dust were the crumbs of disintegrated shooting stars or pieces of space rock too small to leave a luminous trail. Honestly, I don't know of this was true, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that I believed her. I belived her when she told a class room full of impressionable high school kids that each and every one of us had iron in our blood and that iron came form dying stars. I believed her when she said that shooting stars travel thousands of miles, even lightyears across the galaxy to end up here, to cross our gaze for a fraction of a second and to be wished upon. Most importantly I belived her when she said that we were just like shooting stars; we only exist for a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things, but we can leave a trail of shining light, we can inspire, make our dreams and wishes come true, make a difference in eachother's lives. That's why I cried the day the teacher brought shooting stars to class. Ps: Thanks Hank. You reminded me of that. I really needed it. Pps: Merci Emilie, pour m'avoir encouragée à être curieuse!

These clips remind me of watching the Perseids every summer with my cousin when we were younger. Thanks for rekindling those memories, Hank.

Still living for these All Star titles!

This Calm Hank is so different to Chaotic TikTok Hank. I appreciate them both so much.

I hope someday, a speck of Hank hitches a ride through the galaxy to land on a terrestrial planet full of apes. I really do.

I live in the suburb of Paris, and in the beginning of the quarantine the nights were cold and so clear and I saw a shooting star. I never saw one at home before, light pollution is pretty strong here.

It is so fun to watch this video and try and recognize the constellations, beautiful video

I would give my heart to a shooting star for Hank's new book. Or any other reason. Seems like a sensible life plan.

This felt like a lullaby

This was wonderfully calming, thank you :)

Beautiful! That a rock took a long trip to the moon is really cool

That was really nice and calming. Thanks, Hank

ahhhhh. I was falling asleep to your soothing tones, and then you started yelling!

I've seen most of the latest videos, and just now, getting here after listing to All Star have i realized what they were doing

I can’t wait to see what John’s video titled “break the mould” is going to be about.

Awaiting on your "Break the Mold" video already

This was posted on my birthday - I feel very lucky!

That the meteorite is a source of the light And the meteor's just what we see And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee And the meteorite's just what causes the light And the meteor's how it's perceived And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee. -Joanna Newsom (song: 'Emily')

Thanks Hank. It's been a while since the days I would come back from quiseñeras in my high school years and lie down on the roof of my parents house and just see tens of shooting stars for the rest of the night...

Ahh this video was so calming, thank you for that ♡

Very philosophical for a Friday ~ nice

After they’ve used most of the lyrics, they should make a playlist with the lyric videos in order of where they place in the song.

Thank you for breaking the mould Hank.

This was beautiful, thank you.

I bet Hank is a vampire because man he has been the same for like the last 10 years

Fun fact: Only shooting stars break the mold! The titles start coming and they don’t stop coming

AART was nothing short of world-changing. With ABFE (how did you stray even farther from FART?) I'm actually hesitant to read it because then I'll never be able to read it for the first time again. But I will!

First time seeing a shooting stat a few weeks ago thought I would come watch a few videos to make sure it might have been and it defo was was awesome to see

Hey Hank you re an all star and remember only shooting stars break the mold!

It’s hard to believe that all that footage was real. I had to remind myself sometimes that they weren’t just paintings

Ooooo, macrocosmos hank makes an appearance. Excellent.

This is such a calming video. Thank you

Happy Fathers Day Hank! DFTBA

I needed this today

I seriously thought Hank was about to give shooting stars a 5 Star Review. @vlogbrothers John, you should take it.

I was out taking pictures of the Milky Way last night, and caught a surprising number of shooting stars that my eyes missed. Fun surprise. :)

this made me oddly emotional

I had my audio off unknowingly, so I didn’t know that Hank was speaking. I thought the video was literally only shooting stars until I saw Hank’s face around the 3 min mark lmao

I haven't watched vlogbrothers for over a year. But I'm all caught up now. Although I picked a bad time to drop off, because it seems like I missed out on a neat collection of animal pins.

The opening was really relaxing & nice. 💕 I hope you enjoy your book tour, and you can find a way to relax.

Space ASMR with Hank Green

Convinced y'all just needed a break from thinking of your own video prompts

Today's Hank video comes to you in John Green's Filter.

Breaks the mold

IT'S BACK

Things I didn’t know I needed: This

I enjoy this silly title trend

OMG why am I crying??? 🥺 ~Trav

Just a reminder that...you know... No Edge

thank your for this. it was genuinely relaxing and informative :)

i'm an idiot. It took THIS LONG for me to realize the titles in the past few weeks are lyrics to All-Star.

Damn how many wishes can I make Hank?

I got distracted by the international space station during a couple of shots, but I too enjoyed watching the shooting stars :)

So if our bodies are made of star dust, about how old would that be? (And congrats on the book!!!)

this is weird to watch because I've never seen a shotting star in real life and to think someone could just be walking outisde at night and see the dots in the sky move is just such a far away experience for me

couldn't stop thinking about the " *Pale blue dot* " by Carl Sagan 💙

I love this. Thank you. I love the night sky but my eyes aren’t good (very nearsighted...3-4 cm in front of my nose, progressing nightblindness, and strabismus/retinal detachment), so I rarely see shooting stars.

I had no idea that shooting stars aren't stars...

The next video from John better be called break the mold, and he should talk about thinking out of the box or something, or I'm gonna be really disappointed haha

thinking about how differently this information would have been presented if hank made it a tik tok instead of a vlogbrothers video

"7 billion years old, that's older than the sun" So you're telling me there are more humans alive on earth right now, than years the sun has existed?! That's a LOT of humans! Or a much younger sun than I thought...
