I've become a recent fan of Vox. Very high quality videos with good research and time put into them! Please dont change.
-
Explained so well... Thanks!
-
Mind-blowing.
-
Yooo, this was awesome.
-
Finally, some objective scientific rationale and an exclusion of the excessive subjective astrology bullshit. I came here from the Buzzfeed video and I have to say, this one was far more productive and informational than the crazed astrologist on Buzzfeed's clickbait channel.

real information is preferable to magic and nonsense
-
"without astrology" despite using it
-
Wow, they just couldn't resist ending with the communist/globalist nonsense.
-
You can do pretty much anything without astrology simply because astrology is made up entirely of bullshit.

Beautiful dig at horoscopes and the astrology crowd. -
@Vox, what about mercutarianism? I know a lot of people are mercutarian and don't eat meat during retrograde, but curious about the origin of that practice.

Yes, @EthanDee, hats off to Gina Barton for her ingenuity in coming up with tangible ways to explain complex scientific principles — your description is perfect:
"Your visuals team is excellent, the narrators pleasant, and the message concise yet detailed."
That's not easy to do. Concise is about 100x more difficult to achieve than "thorough explanation". It takes "generalist" sensibilities to do concise well. -
This series should be called: "Universe 101 for dummies."

You are a tiny dot that lives on the third closest planets that are famously known around a sun that exists in a system. The system is only a speck of the large quantity of stars, thousands of times bigger than the sun that orbit around a galaxy we call the Milky way. The milky way is only a dot surrounded by bilions of galaxies that move away where at some point (we talking about millions of years here), our nightsky would never be covered by the millions of flickering lights that gives our eyes another reason to love and care for our world.
We are small, helpless and alone in this universe. Let's cherish our irrelevance.
