"This Is Blue Origins Moon Lander Blue Moon Mark [--] in Cinematic VFX We fully animated Blue Origins Blue Moon Mark [--] the next-generation lunar lander set to carry astronauts to the Moon with Artemis [--] in the mid-2030s.

"Real-time animation of light traveling across the solar system (5.5 hours meditative music) In this real-time 5.5-hour animation we trace a single beam of light from the Sun all the way to Pluto. I set the video to a few space-inspired meditative songs so you can even leave this on (no mid-roll ads) as you fly through the solar system. Light moves at [------] kilometers per second (or [------] miles per second). Thats fast. until you see just how long it actually takes to cross the solar system. There's a lot of space in space. Keep in mind that it took the New Horizons mission to Pluto [--] years"

We've used real photos from Venus as well as high-resolution 4K animations to offer you a glimpse of what it might be like on the surface. We'll delve into its thick toxic atmosphere its acid rain the massive volcanos and lava canals and those breathtaking sulfuric clouds. From the Soviet Verera landers of the past to the innovative NASA concepts for human exploration in the future (like cloud stations)"

"The heaviest object in the universe - a neutron star Neutron stars are so heavy that you wouldn't be able to lift even a piece of one the size of a grain of sand. So what are neutron stars How do neutron stars form and what makes a neutron star so heavy Today we're tackling these questions and more. We're going to visualize how much a very tiny amount of a neutron star weighs (if we somehow brought it to earth) and it's pretty amazing. From magnetars to pulsars let's take a look at one of the wildest objects in astronomy - a neutron star. A quick notes on the statistics in this episode: like"

Today we'll explore how astronomers first detected this ancient star first with the Hubble Space Telescope and then with the James Webb Space Telescope and the miracle that makes it visible to us despite its mind-blowing distance.

"Actually Pluto IS a planet. Here's why the IAU got it wrong. There are WAY more planets in our solar system than you realize. To be honest this is probably my favorite video to date because this story is a lot bigger and more exciting than I expected.

"10 key differences between Apollo and Artemis moon programs Let's compare NASA's Apollo of the 1960s to Artemis of the 2020s and figure out - which is the better moon program We'll pit the mighty Saturn V against the SLS the Lunar Module against Starship HLS and the mission plans of both moon missions in these [--] differences. On one hand this isn't a fair fight because Apollo actually LANDED on the moon and Artemis is still in development.
