1. im making this into a playlist

2. oh wow now I'm really happy to live and grow up in Indonesia, right on the equator under all the celestial sphere and both polar stars.

3. You talk too fast, slow down.

4. At 0:56 close encounters of the third kind music

   5 Stars!

6. Go! Go spread your wings and fly through the universe!!

7. every night I see Big Dipper

8. Love this "channel" will continue to absorb the information given here like a thirsty sponge. Side note: I already know most of what these lectures cover but not everything and it's that "not everything" that has me hooked.

9. ""Ursa Major "The Big Bear" has a tail except that bears don't have tails."" Ok who is responsible for this idiocy. I want them in my (non existent) office in 5 minutes!

10. 5:58–6:00
    How dare my neighbors keep me from this beauty

11. Just one thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't constellations the defined boundaries in the sky (88 of them) and all stars in that region are said to be in that constellation while the familiar star patterns are asterisms?

12. I like the way Dr. Plait refers to the ancient thinkers.

13. Pisces = Pesci in Italian, which literally means "fish" so it's kinda easy for us haha

14. Educating myself I'm passionate about during quarantine 🙂

15. 7:00 — due to change in refractive index due to change in density on atmosphere

16. This is for my grade 9 science class so like i subbed just in case

17. Did you knew, ancient Indian astronomers knew the stars, planets thousands of years before greeks or persians? why not talk about that as well.

28. Pls do add subtitles as your videos will be watched from all over the world

29. 0:10 me awkwardly putting pants back on…

30. Cool

31. I plan to become an astrophysicist, specifically a university professor. I've always been too afraid to tell my family and friends how serious I am; that I'm not just playing the part of a 5-year-old boy who wants to be the first man to Mars. People think that the work of astronomers is unimportant – how can I convince them otherwise? I'm 14 years old; people keep asking me what I want to be… I want to show them that it IS possible, that it is a "real" job. I don't want to be an engineer or anything "similar" to a physics profession – you know what I mean, people who take physics and astronomy degrees rarely actually end up in academia. The world is so obsessed with efficiency, budget, efficacy, cause… I love astronomy because it's untainted by those things (deep down, at least), and it's driven by the simple desire to understand. I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve my dream because of some petty human fluff. Is it possible if I work hard enough? Or am I still that naive 5-year-old boy?

32. That was not dark ages.. that was "Golden Ages"

33. I am being very honest this is an excellent series and I am even noting down all the points and watching all the videos 3 to 4 times in order to completely understand them and I am an Indian but still I am able to understand this accent because my English is good but there are many other people who are unable to understand your accent. I am not blaming you. And also I am thinking to make a channel on Astronomy in which I will specify the same points and I will speak in British accent so that other's can also understand. Thank you very much for increasing my knowledge to such an extent

34. I could really use a crash course on different constellations. My not quite 3 year old was engrossed watching episode 2 and asked for more constellations when it ended. He loves watching crash course videos and I love showing them to him. 😊

35. You got Ursa major wrong. If you draw it the right way, it looks like a bear.

36. Nudity is not required but always appreciated.
