Saturn's rings are a celestial river flowing above the clouds of their planet. Here is the story of how we learned that.

@@manofcultura remember though, the 'lord of the rings' the creator, what's up with El's grandson in Phoenician/Hebrew tradition, Yahweh's son Yahshua is the grandson of El the creator God. What is up with the 'foreskin'? Well, if you understand the Bible, he made a covenant with the '70' elders, which included his single covenant with Abraham, so, when one takes the Abraham covenant, that means demascalisation, maybe. Be it that marriage in biblical terms is a women(servant) to her man.

Thanks! Yes, I do write my own scripts. I have a background in history and I feel that how we learned the things we know is just as important as what we know. But I find it is actually quite difficult to tell the history of scientific discoveries, because scientists don't care about history. From their perspective, this makes a certain amount of sense; scientific ideas are only as good as the next observation, and if they're disproven, you have to throw them out. No point in dwelling on old ideas if they no longer work. But it makes tracing scientific hypotheses back into the past really frustrating.

Parallaxicality Ken Burns spoke at my graduation back in ‘97, and had a similar perspective on science. I think Chrichton did too. Having information is short sighted without knowing how the information was discovered. It’s a process and always will be. Keep it up! 🤟

So goooood! :o The history on this one is really great, as it is a lot of fun to watch all these familiar figures argue over what the rings are. It's a good story. Your pronunciation of Huygens is still a bit inconsistent, but it's getting better! ;p Almost everything in this video was new information to me, with a few exceptions. I've been way more active looking into astronomy in the past months, so I'm learning a lot, but l feel like l will never be able to come close to all of your knowledge! Were you able to see the Super Blue Blood Moon? I happen to be on the wrong side of the planet, but l have no idea where you live.

Yup. No solar eclipses in northern Europe during our natural lifetimes, I'm afraid. At least we'll be able to see some regular lunar eclipses in July and January 2019, I think. The moon was really pretty to look at the day before yesterday, though. I should probably get a telescope :3

I like your channel and this is a good video, but I am noticing a problem with the audio that I would like to point out as it seems to be common in your videos. Specifically, it sounds like you used a voice activated microphone or some software equivalent, leaving the first sound after a silent gap cut off and come in suddenly in the middle of a sound. There are ways of preventing such an audio glitch, but it would depend on what software and equipment you're using. I hope you'll be able to improve it... but if not, please don't let that keep you from continuing to make videos.

1:28 Orbital speeds do NOT increase with the distance from the Sun, it decreases, but the angular momentum does increase. I guess Kepler's expression, "velocity increases in proportion to r" was his way of stating angular momentum increases? It's just very subtle and misleading. planetfacts.org/orbital-speed-of-planets-in-order/

They do increase in proportion to distance; the shorter the distance, the faster the speed. They do not, obviously, increase WITH distance, but I agree that was fairly ambiguous.
