My biggest problem with astrum Is I attempt to put him on to fall asleep and learn something new but end up watch muiltiple hour long videos because im so interested

One of my favorite channels on yt. I have to limit my exposure to information these days as it tends to make me incredibly depressed and angry.

Not so with information about stars and such. That makes me feel small but in a good way. Learning about space reminds me that all of this is relative and we’re not here for very long.

Ai can not compete with Astrum, every video is so well done with the research, commentery, visuals so ”normal people” understand. Very well done

Fascinating, educational and well researched with great commentary - THIS is what makes YouTube more than the usual AI slop that most other channels churn out.
The quality is there if you look for it - Bravo Astrum and thank you for treating your audience well!

Yeah this was great Dan! The way you handle absurd things with a level head is impressive.

I am fascinated by the notion that we believe things we cannot directly observe with absolute certainty when it comes to cosmology. We can gather data from increasingly small points of space times, but its information that is reaching us years, centuries or even aeons after the events we are measuring occurred. We plot the orbit of planets around distant stars when the cycle we see today occurred 10,000 years ago. It really is fascinating.

Straight up looked up at the Big Dipper and immediately found the North Star, even in town. It felt awesome for some reason even just with my eyes. I also happened to be outside when I was watching this video

Great video Astrum, although I was supposed to go to sleep I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing as always, ah well guess I'll just have to listen to another now 😉

As much as i love Astrums stuff it does my bloody head in sometimes... I'm not stupid but this channel shows me how much i dont know,, especially with the stars themselves and the maths behind it
