Meteors: Crash Course Astronomy #23

Life is tragic, just accept it together with the fact you have a finite life span and never will go to Mars nerds. More likely you'll starve in a few years due to massive crop failures caused by climate change

Thank you for pointing out that atmospheric entry heating is not due to friction, but, rather, adiabatic compression heating. Even a lot of science educators get this wrong. Actually, a not insignificant amount of heat does come from friction, but the majority is from compression. I wonder what the relationship is between the sources of hearing is.

Is this a meteorite? No that's a meteorwrong..lol

Ok, so now whenever I'm going on a car trip, I'm gonna say, "let's haul mass!"

If you manage to get your hands on a meteorite ,know that you have the ultimate pet rock

Megacrymeteors

Birefringence

Waitwait. Did I hear that right? (rewinds a few seconds) I did ! "Cambot, can we get that on still-store?" AAAA AN MST3K REFERENCE I LOVE IT! Gotta say, I wasn't expecting an educational video from 2015 to randomly do a really early-seasons quote of a nerd icon show from 1989, but AWESOME! Well...actually scientists are giant nerds. You just don't expect the pop culture style nerdery to show up all the time. :)

At my local(ish) planetarium, they have this shiny chunk of rock about two/three adult fists big or so, with a sign saying "This is a metallic meteorite that fell in (place) in (year). See how heavy it is!" and it's attached to this sliding rod thing so you can lift it a bit. Probably lots of planetariums/science museums have something like that, but I still think it's cool that ordinary people can just walk up and touch a chunk of outer space. :)

i found one and showed everyone till a friend pointed out a peanut sticking out the side of it...yep petrified 1950's turd

"I LOVE ASTRONOMY "

Great explanation.

This dude is awesome, hauling Mass!! 🌌🌠😎

Sylacauga, Alabama, 1954. Meteorite hit Ann Hodges in the hip, leaving a hell of a bruise. She was lying on the couch, it came through the roof, wham blam sorry ma'am.

Check this out: the most surreal event in my life. Made a wish to see a falling star, and in the next 48 hours, I saw 4 of them and it was not August, it was January. One of them was even in slow motion...yes...slow motion, I thought it was an airplane, so I kept on following it, when to my amazement, it slowly broke into burning pieces...I could literally see them because they were very near. Didn't know there are slow motion falling stars too....haha

No pictures/commentary about Meteor Crater (Berringer Crater) in Arizona?? A mile wide hole in the ground blasted out by a meteorite tends to get your attention I would think. Later! OL J R :)

Something very magical about Meteorite. I have an mostly Iron metorite and it's cool to think that the Iron in it destroyed a star is also the Iron in my blood making life possible.

So,....when a meteor comes our way we cant do much....
No,because a trillions and trillions and trillions go to murder and manmade death ,theft and distruction of the fellowman,murder each others children.
A people must have their prioretys straith,no?
DAMN,so much brain power,and still a moral consiousness of the cave apes. the more i think about mankind,the more i love my animals! living on lonely hights.

I came upon Crash Course by way of SciShow. I have an unending curiosity to the extent I’m pretty sure my first word was “why”! (Granted that got me into more trouble as a kid but thankfully that trouble couldn’t kill the curiosity!)

Speaking for myself, I must say there’s something addicting about learning when the person teaching truly loves their topic!

Most people find it strange that I prefer videos like these but have little to no interest in watching tv. My thought... why watch fiction when reality is so much more interesting, fascinating and even frightening!?

The only thing I can think of as a “tweak” to this series... I’d love for there to be ‘add ons’ as new things are discovered. Other than that, I love the series and appreciate everyone who works to make these available! Thank you!!!

I love these videos! Thank you for making them, it’s fascinating to watch ☺️

Phil Swift sees giant asteroid: that's a lot of damage.

"Hauling mass"- lmao

Hauling mass 😂 This episode is great

I told my doctor friend that I was casually getting into astronomy and they asked me about my horoscope...

i think phil might have been the best guy to do this.

I'm a little dissapointed - you failed to explain why huge metorites always lands in craters???

I don't like reading the word "meteors" and "crash" in the same sentence

I saw Lyrids and Eta aquarids meteor shower this year and for that I came across this video to understand what's happening! Now I am watching the entire Crash Course series and it's fun during this lockdown!
Thank you very much Sir! 🙃

I am 14 yrs old and haven't seen a shooting star. I live in India(Rajasthan), can someone tell me when can I see one.

I did not like this video

Phil: Don't ask astronomers " Hey whats your sign?"
Me: Wearing a Taurus hat, and shirt, while drinking out of a Taurus cup, and snuggling in a Taurus blanket, about to comment asking what his sign is until he said that.......

Hey, Phil, what is your sign

There's more chance of growing a tartan rose out of your arsehole than ever seeing a meteor.
Why?
Meteors don't exist.
Simples!

whats your sign?

Hauling mass! That bares repeating.

Here after they crashed a into a asteroid xD

hey Phil, what's your zodiac sign?

DART has now been tested.

Thank you so much for the knowledge i will use this for my science project

Interesting watching this and hearing that we are helpless to the universe. Now in 2022 we successfully changed the period of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid with the DART program. We can fight back!

Whoever is responsible for the mst3k reference deserves 3000 high fives. Nicely done, whoever you are, nicely done.

Shoutout to the DART mission!!!

With the DART mission, we have now tested our ability to redirect meteors and asteroids

Very much interesting

really helpful, thank you!

I genuinely appreciate this man, he explains things so well, very simple and easy to comprehend
