This is a very brief introduction to galaxies. It is more of a primer video, so if you don’t know anything about galaxies – you’ve come to the right place! 😀

So… Physics Today asked for some science-themed Valentines. I participated, but then of course… I came up with a bunch of astronomy-themed Valentines. I felt like sharing! 🙂
How do astronomers find planets outside of the solar system? With the cunning use of spectroscopy.
Finding extrasolar planets is hard. But humans are pretty dang clever. You’re no match for us, space. Just give up.
Last week (4th week of March, 2014) on planet Earth… The humans continue to push out into space. At this rate they’ll be capable of interstellar travel by the year 2233. Of course, we are all alarmed, and measures to inhibit this activity are currently being discussed. The humans’ need to catalog every little thing […]

Love your videos 🙂
Super massive black hole! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBb-J0hcBQA#aid=P-z2zqTf1Bk
Thank you! That’s a great song. 😀
Welcome back… and Happy New Year! It’s good to see you again. 🙂
Since I knew absolutely nothing about galaxies before watching this video, I certainly learned a few things… though you didn’t address the all-important question of why so many chocolate bars are named after astronomical stuff.
[Apparently Galaxy chocolate is sold as “Dove” in other countries, so that joke is kinda regional, I guess…]
Thank you! It’s good to be back. And Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
I’m glad it was a useful video. I’m thinking of doing shorter videos like this one – that way they’ll be easier to do and I can do them more frequently (although I did just get lazy for a while there.)
I had no idea that Dove chocolate was Galaxy chocolate! You’re right though, Milky Way, Mars bar, even Starbursts – I’m pretty sure it’s a conspiracy.
I was going to make a joke about chocolate drops from Uranus, but I’d hate to lower the tone of the internets…
The Internets thank you. 😀
