definitely how saturn got its rings!

The primordial dance of Saturn and Jupiter, and how it paved the way for Earth to become what it is today. To think Jupiter might have swallowed everything whole, but a dance with another gas giant changes its future into shielding us from comets. It's romantic!

How saturn got it's rings.

Uranus tillted

The baby cheeseus

Lol I never would have thought about it that way 😆🤯 It’s so true!

Jupiter is the Son. Saturn, the Father.

I always thought of Saturn has the big brother and Saturn the big sister. They're pretty cool!

but one day Jupiter will be the one who will send our demise (asteroid same size or bigger as that wiped the dinosaur ) yikes

@@audreyooro7040 you said saturn twice

Documentaries?? Then mermaid is a documentary too! 😅

BBC are simply good at their craft.

This is a 'supercut' of the original BBC productions that were originally narrated by scientist Brian Cox. Unfortunately (in my opinion), American audiences seem to want things with lots of talking heads, preferably with American-accented narration. Sigh.

It's a story, not a documentary.

Yeah you said it "animations" and "storytelling" There is no outer space we live under a dome in fishbowl surrounded by an ice wall and there is countless other fishbowls outside of the dome..

Just showing eight would’ve sold itself short.

It ain’t free. If you consider selling your privacy as free then yes it is

Yes guys ur right😊

Yes, I'd also love to know what music they used

i came here to comment about this!

samex2, was about to comment this 😊

She did a wonderful job of using words to describe what she saw in her mind, which is usually a trait/ability of good writers/authors, it's rare (but quite welcome) to see in a scientist.

Her initial description, and then saying "I've said it over and over.....they should put that in a movie", and I'm thinking "LOL, CONGRATS to you, because haven't they! That sounds very similar to some dialogue in a late '90s blockbuster film to me!!"

What about the one who described Uranus ?

Yeah stolen from NASA's missions and observations.

​@Alucard Balmond Ummmm these are artist renditions. Nasa hardware cannot get 8000 km deep into Saturn's atmosphere. Nice try tho.

@@GC0077 so BBC send satelite into Saturn to study it? No, BRITISHBC stole American findings without credits. Nice try. €1.1k a month poor brit.

@Alucard Balmond Nasa is partnered with the ESA. Therefore, it shares its findings with foreign countries, namely allies. By the way, this was not a BBC production alone, it was partnered with PBS, so again, the information was shared. Nobody stole anything... you're wrong, deal with it.

@@GC0077 Now much does an NHS senior surgeon makes? €41k a year. Ahaha toilet papers. Poor Brits with excuses. what's ESA? Never heard of that. So a combination of over 30 self proclaimed developed countries with their citizens unable to afford small hatchbacks 🤣 needed to steal from NASA? I feel so sorry. I'll donate €1 to Britain. I mean at least their cops need a modern means of transportation. Who even uses horses in 2023? Imagine showing up for work on horseback. Like man, 1654 ... 😔😔

I have no idea what all that means, but it sounds important and you sound happy, so congratulations! 😂❤ It's been two months, how's it going?

Whatever dude you’re a bitch you could watch my nuts nah sayin?

@@Dr.MelodyRiversong shut up fuck face go back to school for bitch shit there’s no way you’re a doctor lol I got that shit in baby feet shit dude I can trip on baby feet surgery all day muhfcker yo stop trippin damn

🤣

@@piercemccauley7079 na, still funny.

Because it makes for a very engaging documentary that way?

:( I miss Brian.

​​@@codayop you mean Dr Cox? He's my favorite too.

I can’t bare Dr. Cocks! He’s so arrogant.

@@ARlELATOM it's spelled "bear", not bare, and it doesn't surprise me that someone who cannot differentiate something like that would also not like Dr Cox.

I’ve been looking for full episodes too but all I can find are 10 minute clips. Made a playlist and watch it quite a bit. 😊

If we’ve progressed, we had 1,000 years of dark ages after the fall of ancient civilizations.

​@@Ivan.A.TrulyuskiI fear we are headed back to that

It never even crcrossed my mind that the sun is traveling around the Milky Way, and the planets are orbiting around the sun at the same time! I just always assumed the sun was stationary, I don't even remember if they taught this in school?

@@billblaski9523 I too thought that at first, I think it was because they taught us the sun was the center of our solar system and i assumed that was the center of everything.

To read the Holy Bible's description of Earth and the Heavens read Genesis 1:1-18 and the Book of Enoch, you'll think that you died and went to Heaven!!

@@Sonya1967 Yes read from the Bible as far as knowing the contents but it can't be taken seriously, there are too many claims that were accepted by the unknown authors but are impossible by today's understandings. The order of creation could not work. The flood was not possible or a 600 year old man and two of every animal on an ark. I believe it should be a personal believe and kept to oneself.

Bot comment

Thanks dawg!

@@billblaski9523 waddup ma homie

This is not a "documentary"...it's a story.

@@vade137 A documentary film or documentary is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education or maintaining a historical record." This is most definitely not a story

@@lukasm.1894 Okay, then it''s a mockumentary. The computer generated images are real in that a person sat down and created the images...but, they have no idea if that is an accurate depiction of 'space'.

​@@vade137what difference does it make?? Just enjoy the video. Whether or not it's the artist depiction doesn't change the fact that it's scary, informative and beautiful at the same time

literally all of this is fake bro

@@chainlink2348 and of all the comments saying the same thing, you picked mine bro. But to each their own 🤷‍♀️

​@@chainlink2348you can't be serious 😂 ignorance is bliss

The channels melodysheep and astrum make great videos too!

I also had a hard time finding videos like this about the same subject matter that matched the quality of this. Kosmo is the channel I found that is full of excellent videos. I highly recommend looking into it if you enjoyed this one.

I was wondering why a BBC documentary would feature so few British people in it.

Other episodes don't compare because this "documentary" is a fairy tale. They GUESS that this is how the universe is; they don't really know. Yet they present all of this as facts. It's sickening. They're more sure about space than Christians are about God. That should tell you everything you need to know.

@@trentp151 Scientists don't believe in scientific certainty. None of them do. In fact, I've heard several theoretical physicists say they hope their current theories are wrong, because that would mean something more amazing would be true, and it would mean more work for theoretical physicists. That sort of thing excites them! Scientists often suffer from communication problems. Christians actually believe the things they say (usually), but scientists describe theories that contain inherent uncertainty, only they tend to forget to say things like, "According to this theory," or "This is what we think is happening." They know when they are talking to other scientists, that much can be assumed, as it is with most of the public, but some people don't assume that. Some people think science is unassailable, and that's just dead wrong. You know that, and so do I, but some people don't, and scientists speaking to the public always need to be wary of that. I'm a retired scientist, but not in this field. I'm fully aware of how science works and the strengths and weaknesses it has as a system, but it is the only knowledge system that can be reliably shared and built on - until a problem is discovered, at which point we adjust our theories and hypotheses to fit the evidence. In that way, although science does not yield certainty, it is self-correcting.

It's Bobcat Goldwaith.

Totally sounds like Zachary Quinto. Thought the same thing.

Such a soothing voice, I want more. 😌

It's 100% Zachary Quinto. Such a lovely voice.

I had to look it up. Gotta say I'm pretty into it

@@BestBecky78 to celebrate the cameraman obviously

Welp, I guess this little cornball comment is here to stay

Poor Pluto got demoted. But we still love it 😊

🤔 Yes, but they also have a dishonest & disingenuous side

😅 Do they not do that in other documentaries? That is such a weird thing to notice.

@@allanfreeman9977 No, they don't. They're usually looking at someone outside the frame.

Why does it matter?

@@liamwoodman4950 If that doesn't matter to you, it's alright and I have nothing against it. For me, it just looks artificial and disingenuous, like someone who won't look at you when you're talking to them.

@@D0nlyJuan But thats literally what they're doing when they're not looking at the camera, they're looking at the person asking them the question, if anything its more disingenuous to look at a camera to an audience that didn't ask you anything. Either is fine and neither is better than the other.

Nothing else is happening, it's all fake.

Exactly, WOW! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around us being able to just now see light from stars so far away that they no longer exist "right now". 🤔🤯🤯🤯

@JustLucky825 Light is literally as fast as it gets, and yet it is so incredibly slow on the large scale. It's kinda sad, because it puts a hard limit on our ability to explore the galaxy. We can just forget about ever traveling outside the Milky Way. 😔

They are liars

​@@andrewwian4921😂

No one cares who it is

@@rowan6207 idk I think it’s kinda cute lol

Yes, being a rocky planet in the goldilocks zone is not enough. Many other factors, including timing, are extremely important!

yes! you need oxygen, a magnetic field perhaps a tilted orbit, a moon or two to prevent flooding,a calm core [most likely nickle to create a magnetic field], a stable atmosphere, complete random chance, mitochondria formation,a dwarf star to prevent the star from dying mid way through evolution, a stable orbit, other planets need a stable orbit, a far out asteroid belt and most likely much much MUCH more!

@@herorisk Theoretically, you could use a "hot rock"--a celestial body that isn't a star but is hot--to provide energy. It wouldn't give light but warmth. Since geothermal vents have proven that life can occur without light.

oh 100% im positive if earth became rouge life would still survive, even thrive below the mass ice sheets of the ocean, warmed by the core@@Badficwriter

Nothing is for free off the BBC.

Finally...someone who gets this is a fun and beautiful story...but not a documentary or educational...it's a beautiful and fantastical story.

Thanks, dawg!

funny, my comment was deleted because I called this out as being a drama and having absolutely nothing to do with reality. YT algorithm wants you to believe computer generated images are real life!

OH!!! I was wondering why it is a bit disjointed and seems to have some information missing. Thanks for the tip to check out the original series!

So glad I've scrolled far enough to see this comment, thank you for recommendation!

Pluto is the short king of planets

Press F for Ceres which is the same size and lies between Mars and Jupiter, but never got to be called a planet in the first place 😭 And double F for Ganymede which is even bigger than Mercury, but was caught by Jupiter’s gravity and was therefor turned into a moon

o7

Pluto is STILL a planet, just like the others.

@@juntus89 Pluto’s “moon” Charon is so big compared to Pluto that it doesn’t rotate around Pluto - Pluto and Charon rotate around each other / spin around each other around a joint empty place in space. Also, there’s other debris in the orbit that hadn’t been cleared away by Pluto’s gravity. That means it can’t be considered a planet, according to today’s naming standards. But yeah, personally I’m all for calling Pluto and Charon a two-planet-system and calling Ceres and Eris and Haumea and Makemake planets, because they’re all really cool and I don’t mind our solar system having like 32 planets 😅 I get why astronomers think it’s bulky though and wanted a more specific naming system for planetary bodies.

Zachary Quinto - Mr Spock from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek ;)

I suspect the name will change again as its pointed out that "winter" is meaningless on planets like Jupiter.

Those words are just Latin for sun and moon. Your comment is the biggest facepalm ever. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Earth also has a name: Terra.

You guys are speaking Latin. Sol=the sun Luna=the moon Terra=Earth

Since we call it the sun isn't that its name?

@@frankbandera6591 Spanish too. Though in Spanish, Earth is Tierra

Press F for the dumbest comment ever. Anyone who would watch this would have absolutely heard of Ganymede, one of the largest Jovian moons. What was the point of your silly comment?

@@ScottysHaze what’s your deal? 😂 All people know the planets of the solar system, but the regular person who isn’t into astronomy like we are haven’t even heard the name Ganymede, and it’s a real shame, so why are you acting so mad? Did you somehow take my initial innocuous comment as a personal attack despite me not in any way addressing you? Dial it back a bit and calm down before you spew acid in the comment section 🤷

Venus is exceptionally hot because it's thick atmosphere has trapped the greenhouse gases that have escaped from inside the planet, creating a runaway temperature increase. Venus spins in retrograde most likely due to an impact with a similarly-sized object fairly early on during the planet formation period of our solar system. This impact could have caused the planet to slow it's rotation to the point of stillness, and could even have been strong enough to reverse the course of the planet's direction of motion. Another possibility is that Venus actually still rotates in the same direction as the other planets, but that an impact knocked it over 180°, thus making it appear to be rotating in reverse.

noticed right away that its robot from invincible

I love it also .
