4th edition of book is out!

 The 4th edition of my Wikipedia/Pediapress book "Astronomy and Astrophysics: Guide to Planets, Stars, and Beyond" is out now!

The book finally contains chapters about our Milky Way, galaxies, and the universe, but no longer has the list of largest known stars, due to said article having many problems. A chapter on Betelgeuse, one of the most famous and well-studied stars, was also added.

I'm back + some size comparisons

 Hello again everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a very long while, but, by the grace of God, I have finally been able to complete my first year of college.

Unfortunately, due to the high amount of work involved, I have decided to cancel "The Really Large Stuff" due to the amount of work involved. However, I have been able to recreate "The Ultimate Universe Size Comparison" (which was taken down due to copyright issues).

Check the description for the credits!

Part 1 is currently available:

If God willing, Part 2 will come in a few weeks to a month.

However, I have also made a shorter, second version, going from me and my friends to the observable universe:

I have also decided to make a recreated version of Jacknjellify's The Big Stuff, updated for 2023:

This also includes an extra segment on how information regarding celestial bodies (i.e. their diameters and distances from us) are obtained. However, an important aspect (Hubble's constant) has been cut short by time constraints, so please see the pinned comment for full information.

Thank you so much for continuing to support me despite my low audience, and remember that while my videos are NOT reliable sources in of themselves, they are meant to inspire people to do further research about the topic.

Kind Regards

Really? Are you kidding me?

Recently it was found that "at least 103 people are found in mass graves and more than 200 others are missing after the leader of a cult allegedly instructed members to starve themselves." (Wikipedia)

Also from Wikipedia:

"Paul Mackenzie's teachings have been described to have placed a huge emphasis on end time doomsday teachings and to be anti-western. Mackenzie rails against the "evils of western life," which includes medical services, education, food, sports, music, and "the uselessness of life." In a song titled "The Antichrist," he denounced the Catholic Church, the United States, and the United Nations as tools of satan.

Mackenzie believed that the Kenyan biometric ID system called Huduma Namba was the Mark of the Beast, in alignment with the fundamentalist teachings of [false prophet William] Branham. He echoed conspiracy theories to his followers insisting the end of days was imminent."

I was supposed to be doing astrophysics homework, but after stumbling across this, words cannot describe just how angry I am now as a Christian myself.

This just proves my statement that MISINTERPRETED BIBLES ARE FAR, FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN LOADED GUNS.

Have some common sense. God gave us wisdom and I KNOW He would not be pleased by you throwing it in the garbage.

And most importantly, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET, NOT EVERYTHING THAT CLAIMS TO SPEAK FOR THE BIBLE ACTUALLY DOES SPEAK FOR IT.

"Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light!" - the apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 11:14.

Euphrates Drying Up ≠ End Times Coming Soon

People like this are so ignorant in their reading of the Bible, it's honestly starting to make me a little angry.
The Euphrates drying up wasn't a single sign but one in a series of seven signs (Revelation 16). 
And this is happening, not because of the end times, because of climate change, which is real. Yet some people think it's a secular distraction against the Second Coming of Jesus, because they are impatient.
Please be super careful about what you believe in on the internet, because it is a dangerous place. Yes, there are videos about why the end times are near, but there are also videos supposedly exclaiming why the Earth is flat. Misinterpreted Bibles are more dangerous than loaded guns.

God Bless

Planetball Comic: Stellar Conflicts

Stellar Conflicts

A planetball comic I originally made in mid-2018 showing the sizes of objects in our universe. I know it's bad quality, but it's OK for me as I've decided not to further pursue countryballs and planetballs (The YouTube channel "AstroCat"/"DogePro" has better and more educational ones).

The objects:

First panel: Jupiter, Pluto, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn

Second panel: the Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus

Third panel: Arcturus, Aldebaran, Rigel, Deneb, Antares, Betelgeuse, Mu Cephei, VV Cephei A (outdated size)

4th Panel: VY Canis Majoris (Russia-esque), UY Scuti (U.S.A.-esque)

5th Panel: Milky Way, WOH G64

6th Panel: IC 1101

All Glory to God!

New video: Giant Star Profiles

 

Short rundown on a number of stars that have left the main-sequence (and the main-sequence star VV Cephei B). Based on a video originally made in 2018. Credits in the description.

The Planets in True Color

A collection of the eight planets of our Solar System, plus two exoplanets (one of which may not exist), all in true color.
