Well said.

For the most part so far in his videos, I'd say Planetary Astronomy... also a sprinkle of Exo-Planetary Astronomy.

Oh yes, I'm very much looking forward to his videos ^_^

Hope you're having a wonderful week Nick. All the best for 2021.

No Farout, Farfarout or Goblin?

@@boutek Not big enough to be on the list. I may do another list of "notable" TNOs.

Well that saved me attempting to challenge the illegitimate fictional name over that of Myth!

Agree very much, I find the differences are very difficult to ignore. You cant really compare Star Trek to Quetzalcoatl after all.

I kept thinking of the SCP when I was writing this. :)

it could be mostly water ice like Enceladus.

Verging on heresy I know, but I'd suggest Carl Sagan.

@@LonesomeTwin I can see a little of Sagan’s style in Nick’s speech. To me Sagan has an oration tone, contrast to Nick’s more intimate prose recital.

Oh, and I subscribed by the way😁

I hope you find my channel informative :)

Would you link the other Nick? I'd like to check out his work :)

@@parallaxnick637 If I may, I'd guess Nick Zentner. If you haven't watched him I do recommend watching. I know more about the geology of the Pacific North West than my own neighbourhood. kzfaq.info

@@parallaxnick637 oh and thank you for this list of "boring" TNOs

@@rhoddryice5412 You are correct. Thanks!

Doesn't he do the Nick on the rocks on OPB? It looks and sounds like him. I'll have to see another shot in between shows. I just want to say thank you. I didn't know he had a channel on KZfaq!! I sure enjoy his short shows. He's so knowledgeable about the geology around the area here in Oregon and Washington. ❤😊❤

No. Thor is a fictional God based in mythology. The Christian God would not be considered as such, being based in religion with believers.

@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt The christian god is no more real than Thor.

@@thetruth45678 You're obtuse. What is your level of education? Do you even know the meaning of the word mythology or allegory?

@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt You're going to tell me that the christian god is a scientific reality? Didn't think so.

Agreed...one of the few channels I'd donate some coin to

10000000% agreeee

Absolutely agree. Nick helps us so much in learning our solar system that I wish he’d let us help him too. It’s not just the knowledge either, I see so many comments saying that he helps them sleep with his pleasant, calming voice. I’m one of those people... and coming from an insomniac, the gift of sleep is one I’d certainly pay for.

Well just because we haven't discovered something doesn't mean it isn't there, but even so, the Kuiper belt is a VAST volume of space (imagine a doughnut as wide and thick as the distance from the Sun to Saturn) so the chances of anything hitting anything else nowadays are virtually non-existent.

I upload as much as I can, but I do everything myself, so it takes time.

@@parallaxnick637 that’s cool 👍🏻

Be the solar System dammed for having so many facinating Places and us having so few spaceprob

That is almost certain to be true. We've already found Kuiper belts around other stars.

Not for a while I'm afraid...

That's a fairly broad topic. Are you referring to astrochemistry? Or the chemistry that occurs on planetary objects? Because that would include Earth.

​@@parallaxnick637 I agree that it would most likely take a whole series of videos to cover it all. But let me just mention a few examples: Chemical processes in different atmospheres on (exo)planets (usually including interaction with the stellar light) that yield changes to the properties (and composition) of the atmosphere over time, as well as interaction of the given atmosphere with the surface of the given planet/moon. Early stages of the Earth atmosphere (prior the bacteria showed up and started to cause considerable changes) could be part of such a series as well. Astrochemistry would be a very interesting topic too - apparently fairly complex molecules have been discovered in space and it would be very interesting to get a basic idea how these are created. As a (ax-) particle physicist I have a basic idea about nucleosynthesis, but chemistry - which is even more important when it comes to understanding the conditions on surfaces of planets and moons is outside my scope of intuition, so to speak. (I could come up with a way longer wish list, but I 'discovered' your channel only recently and thus have a backlog of your videos to watch - something I thoroughly enjoy).

For better or worse, I have a new one

And the Hubble, Herschel and Spitzer space telescopes, the Subaru telescope, and a swarm of telescopes in Chile. Basically astronomers use the telescopes they best suited for their projects, assuming they can concince the board to give them time.

That would be us damned; the Solar System is just fine. And of course, there's no reason we couldn't pool money together for a quick trip, if we really wanted to.

As far as I am concerned, a dwarf planet is still a planet.

Cataloguing all the other siblings would have given us new planets.. alas it is not to be.
