Another great video for the library... I will check out Trolligi
11:35 I remember in an ancient work of Christian apologetics in a tract against the Greek pantheon of the apologist pointing out how the Sun shared many seeming properties with stars and that philosophers of the day disputed if it was one. I do not remember who or the name of the work unfortunately. Does anyone know what work it might be?
Really enjoyed this video subject matter - well done!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Once again another mind expanding journey. Love that League of Gentleman reference!
Amazing! Thank you!

I could listen to you explain anything, but I'm _really_ glad you picked astronomy.
Extremely underrated. Thanks for posting
collaborations are cool and all but I come to your videos to listen to you, not to some rando I've never heard of
Well I mean, I was once a rando you had never heard of.
11:59 ! One of the best shows ever.
Thanks Nick! Always happy to see a video from you, keep it up brother! …and thanks to Trolligi for his added content.
Great video! Can't wait for the next part of this journey
THANK YOU NICK, HOPE YOUR GOING ON HOLIDAY,AND YOUR NEARLY AT 40K WELL DONE LOVE JEREMY XXXX.
Lalande was actually considered quite handsome on his home planet of Trappist 1d.
That was quite a tour of some of our neighbors! Thank you.
It was so great to be able to collaborate with you! Can’t wait to explore the rest of our galactic neighbourhood in the next few videos
I'll check your own stuff out soon, any friend of Nick's is a friend of ours. :)
Looking forward to it!😀
Many thanks to you both 🤙
Time to lock in
I listen to these, Astrum and History of the Universe videos to sleep. And nothing works better! Don’t get me wrong I’ve listened to and heard all of these videos probably a dozen times but I usually find something new I learn with each viewing.
Dont miss John Michael Godier
We're the same people
Almost at 40k. Been with you since the beginning. Well done nick
Thanks for the nice video
YAY!!
Yesssssssss
love the music in these videos.
Always thankful for a new video. Nick, hope you are doing well
Perfect, I play your videos over the speaker when I'm doing manual labor and today is a tough project so this is perfect
Thank you both. That was great

YES!!! ParallaxNick video! Thanks again for your hard work, sir!!
Yay!!!! New Nick!
I'm checking out Trolligi tonight 👍
Thanks! Make sure to stay tuned for future space videos of mine, as I have quite a few planned
Thanks for all your amazing videos. It would be great if you could do a video on possibly habitable Exoplanets that have been reached by radio waves from the Earth.

Maybe Tau Ceti's debris ring is larger and heavier than our Sun's because Tau Ceti doesn't have any has giants to perturb it which would give more stable conditions on the inner worlds
Thank you!
28:45 You got your wish. 2002 MS4 has one of the tallest, if not the tallest, mountains in the solar system after an occultation. This makes it extremely interesting! Also I know it's top 10 but wish 2013 FY27 was also paired with Varda

The downside of the best bedtime stories is falling asleep before getting chance to hit like button. To counter this I'm going to start liking in advance.
Thanks for sharing all this knowledge :-)
you pronounce the names as you see fit. I have heard so many different pronunciations of even common words, that, as long as I can understand what is said, it is of no consequence, how it is said.
this is my favorite vid ive seen of yours . fantastic
