The end of this video says this is the last in the series, but actually Neptune and Venus are not released yet. I just had some problems with the ordering in production. Don't fear, Neptune and Venus will still get done. Check out Manta Sleep here tinyurl.com/3amtx2k3 and make sure to use ASTRUM for 10% off your order!

Alex is my best "go to sleep ASMR." After I let him sink in, I rewatch the next day to learn the lesson.

What also fascinates me about Earth is the variation of terrain. We got dry deserts, wet rainforests, deep blue oceans, high monstrous mountains, etc. It's like multiple other worlds into one! Every other rocky planet we know of doesn't have features like our own home. The vastness, overwhelming size of our universe tends to make us forget about the interesting & beautiful features of our own world.

Wow such an interesting planet, hope mankind gets to visit it one day

Hey man. Someone has straight up ripped off one of your videos on Pluto. They've basically just re-uploaded your video with an AI voice over reading the same script. The channel is called Beyond The Cosmos.

Hello Alex, you are absolutely right, this planet has so much wonder to offer. With the astronomy and space exploration it is amazing to learn about planets made of diamonds, or places where molten iron rains down, but after the initial surprise and novelty of such other worlds wears off, it is clear that the dynamics, diversity, natural processes and just beauty of this planet stands out. You said it - "Will anything in universe ever be so beautiful and welcoming as this, our home planet?" I love this so much! Also, I am really glad, that you've mentioned that plate tectonics is rare and unique and what it does for life. I haven't heard it often before. After watching Anton Petrov's video yesterday about the fact that plate tectonics may be the reason why the Fermi paradox is a thing, I'm happy to hear about its importance and uniqueness from another source. Thank you so much for all you bring to this world, Alex. Amazing education but also reminder of beauty and gratefulness!

Excellent, quite wondrous. You can see why some people believe in a designed Earth.

Thank you Alex, Earth is so beautiful we are so lucky ❤❤❤
-
I learned all this stuff in Meteorology school, and I need daily refresher lessons to remember it all. Same is true for many of my colleagues. Thank you, Alex! 😊

Really enjoyed this video, but then I also enjoy all your videos.

Imagine being an eternal conciousness roaming the cosmos for eternity alone. Seeing nothing (other concious life), knowing nothing, bored, lost, utterly alone. Every gakaxy, every star you visit.....nothing. Then one day in that eternity of loneliness, you discover Earth and think to yourself 'alas i have finally found heaven in a universe of hell'
-
As fascinating as the Universe is, Earth is not only home, but one of the most interesting rarities that we have found in the universe yet.
-
Earth is also the Milky Way Galaxy's nearest Earth-like planet.

This video made me feel gratitude

Consider the three great advances that got us out of the caves and into the cities. 1) The harnessing of fire. 2) The invention of the wheel. 3) The creation of the first Tandoori Mixed Grill. Cheers

thank you well presented - in my time in the navy and then travels over 20 years i have been amazed at the differences and similarities from north to south / east to west in geograpy and people - thank you!

4:44 A sidereal day is roughly 23 hours and 56 minutes. That explains why my cats wake me up for food earlier every day.

Very inspiring, I love our Planet Earth!
